Comment on South African bank advises against the use of password managersparent

Comments

I use said bank and they are generally pretty good. Also note they even said in the tweet that they acknowledge the role of password managers so I think you may have read a bit too much into the tweet. Almost every time I log on to their online banking site, I get a page detailing the latest scams and what to look out for.

I also agree with their statement for the most part. The general public, at least here in SA, aren't too discerning when it comes to tech matters who will probably download any random app from the play store. If you don't trust pretty much anyone with your credentials, why trust a probably unknown 3rd party with them.

I think the best idea in this case is to choose a strong password, try and remember it or write it down and store it in a safe.
