Yes, I use a password manager. I tested both lastpass and 1Password back in 2013 and chose to go with 1password. It has been very useful as I have over 100 logins and I have never used the same login for multiple websites.
As a blind person using iOS, 1password works well for me and has been accessible using voiceover with minor difficulties occasionally.
I have either my apple product or my 1password choose strong passwords for me. The minimum password length that I use is 18 characters. And, to log into it, I use a very long password that is easy for me to remember. But, how many people would be able ot guess a password that is over 20 characters long.
Additionally, I use 1password to store my passport data and my VISA data. In the past, for photos of the passport in addition to having the normal data I have had to copy this in using my computer. I do not know whether that can now be done simply on my phone or not as I have not needed to do that in several years.
It also does a better and more complete job of filling in credit card data than does teh built in capability in iOS.
Additionally, I have over 100 secure notes that provide me additional data such as history for various website information or other more personal data such as my data for security questions for my banks and other websites.
I also have my state ID in it as both a photo and teh number coded in.
It has the capability fo also allowing you to paste in the software keys for your various pieces of computer software.
Although I do not have it, it does allow me to have both a family information vault that is shared among family members and my personal vault, which is what I use all the time.
Regarding what the other person said about the possibility of them being hacked because the data is stored (by my choice so that I can use the information on my computer, my iPad and my iphone) in my Dropbox, that password is also a strong password and is stored in my 1password on my phone and iPad. So, before they can access it to try to de-encrypt that data, they have to find a way to hack into my Dropbox account. The data is not stored on 1password servers. And, I think that the same is true for lastpass if I remember correctly, but I am not positive on how it is set up any more.
You do not need to have access to the internet to be able to use 1 password. But, it does use the internet to synchronize the encrypted data from your phone, iPad, and computer.
One additional thing is that I should mention is that as a blind person, in addition to allowing me ot have over 100 passwords and the other things mentioned above is that as a blind person it makes it so much more accurate trying to get the login data put in for websites than when I try to type them in. So, for me using 1password has been extremely beneficial. And, at times while traveling has been very beneficial by having both my passport number and a photo of my passport accessible whether I am connected to the internet or not.
I hope this helps anybody who is wondering about the use of password managers.
