This is my first question after almost a year of happily using wrsa.  Is there an advantage to using Password Manager besides convenience?  I'm asking particularly in regard to websites that involve money transactions, e.g. financial management service. Mine are https and have two step verification, so is webroot password manager overkill?

Hi edm348
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
I use the Password Manager on such sites and would say that it is not over kill as all it does is makes sure that (i) one part of the 2 levels of 'credentials' does not have to be remembered but is still secure in the PM & (ii) it can autofill that bit so that one can then just concentrate on the 2nd part.
 
I think that it can complement other security techniques and options quite nicely.
