One of my friends got his email hacked and he was advised to get a password manager,
See following cut and paste.


Here's an open source password manager option:

1) Download KeePass
2) Remember ONE 12+ character long password to access your database
3) Auto generate passwords with longchain (20 characters), unique to each website / user. These would be virtually uncrackable using brute force.
4) Copy/paste or auto-fill to websites.


My question is how does this work if you have a couple of phones and couple computer etc?
Can you still just use the one 12 letter password all or do you have to remember 12 letter password each?
