    Password managers

    Does anyone have a particular recommendation? I normally dream up my own passwords, which I keep in a locked Word doc (not named 'Passwords'!) but had an alarm the other night when I got a pop-up on a Safari page saying my Mac had been hacked – I swiftly crashed it then created a new password to get into it. Today I've been told by a knowledgeable friend that didn't necessarily mean it really had been hacked, but I'm wondering if a password manager might be a good idea - though Intego should warn me of any intrusion and did, if indeed it was hacked. I don't know what a warning from Intego would look like, as opposed to the pop-ups my friend referred to. (Does any of that make sense? I've been fretting over this for some while this afternoon and am losing it altogether, I think!) Anyway, Roboform, Nordpass and 1Password seem to be well-recommended password managers.
