The best place to save passwords is in your own head. This Golden Rule I don't even dispute it. Every year there are more and more accounts, but there is less and less space in my head. Now almost all browsers offer to save your account passwords in a keychain. After visiting the next site, the browser kindly prompts us to insert the saved data. We agree and successfully log into our account. Over time it accumulates there great amount saved logins and passwords. Today I will tell you how you can easily find all your saved passwords on Google example Chrome, and in the second part of the post I will show where I store all my documents, accounts and passwords.

I can assume that many of you know how to view your passwords saved in Google browser Chrome, however, many of my friends did not even know about this, naively believing that everything was stored somewhere inaccessible to them in the Silicon Valley.

Everything is much simpler. Open the Google Chrome browser, in the right top corner click on the settings button:

In the window that opens, you need to go down and click “Show additional settings”:

We find the button with HTTPS/SSL certificates, as shown in the screenshot:

A control panel will open, where you need to select the “passwords” tab on the left. There are also secret notes here. You can save something important. But we are interested in accounts. In the upper right corner is convenient line search. There you can start entering the address of the site where you have an account, the password for which is saved in Google Chrome. In my case, we will consider the echo of Moscow. It is highlighted in blue. Click on it:

A window opens with your account details. If you check the “show password” checkbox, then after entering the computer’s security password you will see the saved password for the open account:

All of the above are for Mac. On a Windows computer, you can copy this address: chrome://settings/passwords and paste it into address bar chromium. Next, select the account you are interested in.

You can also view your saved passwords remotely from any computer connected to the Internet. Follow this link and enter your credentials.

What is it for? It is clear that if you have forgotten the password for a website, you can recover it via email or SMS. But passwords are not only stored for accounts. There is also network storage, routers, smart TVs and other devices that also contain protected information.
Agree, it’s always convenient to have all the passwords for your accounts at hand. There are times when you need to access your mail or bank client from someone else's computer. It is much easier to enter your already known username and password.

Where should I store them?

Personally, I store all my logins and passwords in the VKarman mobile application. In addition, it is very convenient to keep all documents there, bank cards and their copies. For example, this is what my passport looks like in this application:

This is not a copy of it, this is a form of a Russian foreign passport in which I entered my data and inserted a photo. You can also attach a photo of this document to this form. Any document can be sent by email with one click.

There are a huge number of icons for accounts and social networks in the application. Watch their presentation video:

The application is free, but to expand the list of document templates you need to purchase the package you are interested in. It's not expensive and it lasts forever:

The application is securely protected and all information is stored in encrypted form. The best part is that it syncs with other devices. Supports iCloud for ios and dropbox for any other devices. Available for ios, android, windows. Here is their website

In general, I tried many applications for storing data and settled on VKarman. Now I not only have all the logins and passwords always at hand, but also the documents I need (bank cards, passports, licenses, insurance, SNILS, etc.)

So far everything is working great and I really like it.
