Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Separating them out can be a false dichotomy - some passwords are more important than others, but all of them need to be kept secure. Keeping 4 separate databases with their own passwords secure is more work than keeping one database secure. It's generally better to be good at keeping your one database secure than be slightly less good at keeping 4 secure.
Having said I do have 2 password databases. My personal one, and a separate one I use for work. At work we have loads of different tools to use many with their own passwords, so I find it easier just to have that in it's own password manager all in one place. I use an extension with my work web browser to access those and I keep recovery information in my personal password manager. One reason I do is it I don't want my personal passwords exposed or available within my work computer or browser - it allows separation of my personal and work life, and means I am in no way personally reliant on my work's IT security to keep my personal passwords safe.
Other than that, classify the types of passwords within the database; more databases increases the risk of something going wrong in my opinion.
Thanks for the clear expkainatiin
I guess I will do this.
