Secrets

 We we up at the standard school day time... and ready to greet Ellie when she was dropped off, soon after 7:00. She was a little moody at first, but after a few minutes she clicked into her usual happy mode. It had been a very cold night, so the Gorse Fox told the Silver Vixen not to venture out and took Ellie to school by himself.

As he was reading the news aggregators over breakfast he noticed an article regarding "LastPass". This is a password manager which integrates with all your devices and only stores your various accounts and their credentials, it also fills them in for you as you traverse the web. The problem is that they have had a breach. It shouldn't be a serious problem, but ever cautious, the Gorse Fox spent the morning looking at alternatives and watching YouTube videos discussing the breach and the alternatives. He concluded that "BitWarden" was one of the best alternatives.

The afternoon was spent downloading BitWarden to all the various devices and trying it out. Would it do what was wanted? Is the interface usable? Can he share information with the Silver Vixen? All of the answers were a resounding yes. He will now disable LastPass for a few days and see how well he gets on with BitWarden, before making a final decision. (One thing in its favour is that BitWarden is Free).
