David, This is by far the best suggestion I have seen for organizing passwords. I have tried 1Password but became frustrated. Maintaining a handwritten list is cumbersome. And trying to manage things by viewing passwords via Safari preferences does not work well. Exporting to Numbers (Excel) works beautifully...especially to find missing fields and duplicate fields. Corrections are easy and then just import them back into Safari. Delightful.
Hi David I tried you method .. unfortunately couldn’t reach the conclusion required… my iMac is old an I’m using High Sierra is there another way to reach my desired effect ….?
I followed all your instructions but but when I tried to import the updated password list, I got a message saying "Safari could not import passwords from the CSV file because it is missing column labels". I now ended up with all my passwords erased from my browser. Please help. When I open the file, I can see the column labels.
Every time I watch your videos, I am absolutely amazed at your ability to conform these complicated tech processes into simple, easy to follow videos that even I am able to follow and benefit from--and you've done it again! Take care of that carpal tunnel. Congratulations on your new relationship, I hope you enjoy many, many years of happiness together. And thank you soo very much!!
I have followed you for years because your suggestions always work. You are the first person I continue to check with to solve my Apple problems. You are clear, concise and an excellent teacher. Congratulations on your success in business and your new relationship.
I found this tutorial very helpful. I keep a list of passwords in a spreadsheet but using your methodology was far more comprehensive. Thank you so much.
Brilliant, David! I help individuals get their affairs in order and one aspect we work together on relates to password management. I love how you talked about people reusing passwords and having different passwords for the same site stored in different places. Keep up the great work!
As ever, David, great tuition combined with gentle humour (yes I’m from the uk, not a bad speller). Hope the new relationship thrives……..just don’t forget how much we need you too !
David, you are a national treasure. I have watched your classes for years. Every topic you cover fills in an ignorance gap we’ve all had. Why didn’t Apple clarify all these things sooner? Those grayed out (non-functional) keys in Numbers should be corrected. I bought Excel and Word for my iMac and MacBook. You’d think Tim Cook would get on the ball. P.S. Congrats on the new relationship. Everybody greatly appreciates what you do. Don Scott
David this is something I’ve been waiting for ages ….your a star enjoy all your video…. you’ve help me endless on various project…..many thank’s Gary in Manchester UK 🇬🇧
Amazing video! It's incredible to get such valuable info for free! This is a topic that has no quick-fixes, so to those that feel these are too many steps to complete, some tasks require we put in the work. Don't be afraid to put in some work.
@Tech Talk America - Is there a reason you used Numbers even though you strongly suggested Excel? My version of Excel (I have a 2022 Mac) does not behave or show the sort options like you demonstrated while using Numbers.
Great video and information David. Now I’m thinking… should I moved all of my passwords back to keychain from 1Password and simplify the number of applications? Please help!
Super amazing video David and THANK YOU. There must be a humongous volume of accounts out there belonging to deceased people which will never be accessed again INCLUDING FINANCIAL AND CRYPTO. Frightening !!! Besides, logging in is the bain of my digital life. I resolve to get to grips with this material to smoothen out my on-line life. Thanks again.
Thanks! Congratulations, not just on your new relationship but on your new wisdom of enjoying life! Have an espresso on me! What is your take on Google's new passphrase technology good or bad?
Hi! Found the video to be useful. Just one question though: keeping all passwords in one easily accessible document seems insecure. Also, how can you pass on these passwords to loved ones if you pass away?
David - Excellent job! A much needed tutorial for nearly all of us (present company included)! At the beginning of your video, you mentioned other password managers. In addition to storing passwords in Safari, I also have some in LastPass. Is there a way to export passwords from that app as well?
So glad you enjoyed it. In regards to your question about LastPass the only way they allow you to export the data is by logging into your account via the web. They supposedly send it to you via e-mail, but when I tried it, I ran into problems. Could have been an isolated incident.
Very helpful video - step by step walkthrough is great. But... did you ever find an easy work-around for Numbers' failure to allow the Find AND Replace function? (options remained greyed out). I had to save as a .csv, then open it with Excel, run the Find/Replace, then convert back to a Numbers file. Overall - appreciate your continued efforts.
What version of Safari are you talking about? My Safari password doesn't have the features you are showing so I am probably on an older version. Can you do another one walking us through how to do this on version 14.1.1?
Terrific information. Can I be confident that the passwords in Safari are the same as the iCloud Keychain passwords that pop up on an iPhone or iPad when signing into a website?
David, unfortunately I am unable to follow your recommendations. I am unable to export my password data. I use an iPad Pro latest version. It doesn’t allow that function. I also have, but rarely use, an older iMac, 2010. Which similarly does not allow. Greyed out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Great and necessary information. Regarding Carpal tunnel,there is a quick and easy surgical solution to decompress the involved nerve. I did it and it works!
Isn't it necessary to change the passwords on the website before changing them in keychain? Won't you get a message that the password is incorrect if you just change it in keychain?
That password list is sitting around un-protected where? Remember that each re-used or "bad" password has to be changed at every single account where it is currently in use.
Looks great but I can't get past step 1 ------ When I unlock and list my passwords I do not see the three dots and therefore the "Export password "function.
Wish you had all of this in a text that can be copied... ? Would be quite helpful to absorb .. rather than going back and forth to and from the video.. I'm an iPad, I Phone user.
I don’t personally use Firefox but I’m guessing the process is similar. Anytime I make a video I have to consider how deep to go into the topic and two browsers seemed like the right number.
I do not recommend keeping your passwords in an unencrypted text format like a CSV. This may be good for importing into a password manager but I wouldn't do it into a browser and I wouldn't keep the file, as it is a huge security risk to have your passwords in plain text.
much simpler method - let Firefox import from other browsers and then export one file to excel for editing or printing. CSV is simple text but Firefox is encrypted so it's safer and it's a much faster method.
David, Very good advice as usual. There are two additions I'd also recommend doing: 1) 6:07 Before you delete any dead account, verify that the account for that web site was actually deleted. Try to log into that web site with the current username and password. 2) 9:30 When creating new passwords, instead of typing random characters for each, use a free password generator tool to be sure they all meet the common password rules (i.e. Contains an UPPER CASE LETTER, lower case letter, a number, and is at least 8 characters long). There are many free and safe random password generators available on the web, To find one, search for 'random password generator', and pick the one you like. Many allow you to set a length (i.e. 12 characters).
Good point in regards to your first item. In regards to the second, I'm not convinced you need a computer to be able to just hit a bunch of random letters, numbers and symbols. Just "go Beethoven" on your keyboard. You might even get out some aggression...
@@TechTalkAmerica True if you only have a couple of passwords to create, but if you need several of them using a generator tool is faster, just 4 clicks, 1) select the generate icon, 2) select the copy icon 3) select the spreadsheet cell 4) paste the new password. You are also guaranteed that each one is unique, has the proper number of characters and mix of character types, and you don’t have to manually proofread the ones you typed manually saving you the tedious task of counting characters and checking the character mix by hand. But of course either manually or using a generator works.
@@reefer-joe The point ALL of you are missing (including David, shamefully) is that a good password manager like Bitwarden negates this tutorial completely, including issues involving both password creation AND storage.
@@michaelscott356 Totally agree. I personally have used a password manager for years now and had my employer use the same one for all our corporate accounts. They are a great way to safeguard accounts for personal and corporate security. To paraphrase an old commercial.. "Password Manager, don't go on the internet without one."
I keep getting the message "Safari could not import passwords from the CSV file because it is missing column labels, but it looks exactly like your example.
u dont need to do alot of this...simply make a text file with all ur passwords and then use winrar (its free) to archive/rar/zip it and assign a single password to the rar'ed file u just created..cloud storage and email copies to yourself so u have access anywhere anytime... you're welcome :)
OK. This is good advice. But it is a lot of work. But when you add or change any password you must be sure that any changes are incorporated into each browser and your list. This is a pain and frequently will be forgotten.
Oops! Considering I literally never make Windows content, I'm not surprised that's the one hot key I screwed up #mybad thankfully, Control Z is still Undo 🙄
You forgot to preface your intro with the disclaimer: This video is for only for people so technically inept that you've been letting your browser store your passwords rather using the best solution, a password manager, such as Bitwarden. You "dance around" the concept for a couple of seconds... then just plod on with "browser savers". Strange.
I don't think its a good idea to store all your passwords in one place. One Data Breach and now all your login information across the entire internet is leaked , Although I love the idea, Its frustrating trying to store and keep track of all passwords.
I lost my entire life image, file, data and everything because Gmail doesn't want to change my account password through phone number but another Gmail account what a waist 😢
