![]() Similarly, some entities have both a website and app for login and each have to be manually updated with the same password, which is tedious. Once I began to use 1Password, it created problems because any duplicate URL's for an entity had to be manually deleted, as they did not have my updated password. One issue that took time to clean up was that Chrome's password manager (which I imported to 1Password) had several different URL's with my login credentials for a given entity, because some have multiple login port of entries. I worked through it and so far I have successfully changed passwords to much more secure ones for sensitive sites/apps. After watching videos that painted a rosy picture of a fast and painless transition I was disappointed. I've spent about 10 hours so far on the process, including cleaning up the imported logins from Chrome, changing passwords, and trying to troubleshoot getting 1Password to work on all apps/website on my Android. In the hope of managing expectations for users like me, here's my experience with 1Password so far, and I have one question: Prior to plunging in, I watched a couple of youtube videos and reviewed introductory information on 1Password's website. I use a Windows desktop and Android phone. I consider myself moderately adept as a software user and troubleshooter. Thanks to softwaregeek for his great thread "SoftwareGeek's Guide to Computer Security" which inspired me to start using a password manager.
