I‘d not consider myself technologically unsavvy but I can‘t really understand how a password managing app on my phone can keep my passwords safe?
By that I don‘t mean what kind of encryption technology is used, I just can‘t believe that I really CAN trust a company not giving/selling all my passwords (or losing them to a hack).
That‘s also the reason why I never use apples pw manager for example.
Am I overly cautious? Is it safe to store my passwords in a pw manager app?
Maybe someone that understands the technology/encryption behind such apps can help me
In: Technology
You can’t be certain any program does what you want.
You can write your passwords on a piece of paper and put the paper in your wallet, next to those valuable paper sheets called “money”. This isn’t resilient to having your wallet stolen, but you can keep a copy on paper in a safe in your office.
Paper can be trusted not to run off without you knowing it. No software can be trusted as much as paper.
