You asked. DK answered.
Is a password manager safe?
Reputable ones encrypt your vault so that only your master password can unlock it. Turn on two-factor authentication for extra protection.
What happens if I forget my master password?
It depends on the app. Some offer recovery kits or trusted contacts; others cannot recover it at all. Set up recovery on day one.
Can I share passwords with family?
Most paid plans include shared vaults so family members can access the same logins without texting passwords.
