@claudiubotezatu​ its a matter of personal choice. One can write all the passwords in a diary to be more safer. Its a matter of convenience too.

@The_Eagle_007​ 

Sure, is a matter of personal choice, but is there any rationale behind it?

Storing your passwords somewhere in the cloud and being exposed to hackers (and paying for this service) versus having the passwords on your PC , in a password protected file.

Hi @claudiubotezatu​ !

I just want to mention the advantage of using a password manager and why someone might choose to store their passwords in the cloud using a password manager service, rather than on their personal computer in a password-protected file.

1. Convenience: Storing passwords in the cloud with a password manager service allows for easy access from any device with an internet connection, without the need to transfer files or manually enter passwords.

2. Security: While password-protected files on a personal computer can still be vulnerable to hacking, a password manager service will typically have stronger security measures in place, such as encryption and two-factor authentication, to help protect against unauthorized access to your passwords.

3. Organization: Password manager service can securely store not just passwords, but also other sensitive information such as credit card numbers and personal identification information. This can help users better organize and keep track of their sensitive information.

4. Improved password management: Password manager can automatically generate strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts, and help you keep track of when to change them, which can be difficult to do manually.

In short, while storing passwords in a password-protected file on your personal computer may seem like a simple and cost-effective option, a cloud-based password manager service can provide added convenience, security, organization, and improved password management, making it a more attractive option for many users.

Hope it helps. 

@tm_macky​ but the password which are generated using Trend Micro's password managers are of maximum 20 digits. It should be 30 digits at the very least. Also the special characters which are used by its password generators are few only like @$# etc. Please provide an update to it to generate more secure passwords and atleast of 30 digits. I have to use other password generators for creating my passwords. Small issue but an important one.

Hi @The_Eagle_007 

We will take note of this as part of our security enhancements for Trend Micro Password Manager.

We appreciate you writing this, as it will be beneficial to Trend Micro users. Thanks for reaching out to us.

Thanks.
