moderated Seeking recommendations for password managers
Norma A. Boge
Hi group,
I’m using Jaws 2019 and would like to hear your thoughts on password managers. I recall Last Pass, is that still a good option in terms of accessibility with Jaws? Any other helpful info much appreciated.
Thanks, Norma

Last pass is not very accessible, you need to click the mouse on lots
of stuff and its rather obscure in some places -- I needed sighted help via Aira to get it going. It does have lots of good features and the IOS app is pretty accessible, but not the PC.

Hi, I personally use 1Password that is fairly accessible. I noticed better usability with Jaws than NVDA, but most of the features can be performed with the keyboard. The only complication is the sign up process and subscription. I can remember spending times on their site to get it in place. But once done, it's ok. Tanguy Le 16/10/2019 à 06:15, John Covici a

1Password 4's access is good up until you want to switch views, say, from passwords to credit cards or any of the other things 1Password can save. In fact, I've had so much trouble getting these other views to stay in focus once I click them with the JAWS Mouse Cursor button, that I am loath to upgrade to the newer cloud-based multi-device version for fear of the same accessibility problem being there in that version as well. Can you tell me--us--how that's done in the newer versions?

I’ve been using 1Password for a couple of years now and haven’t experienced this issue at all. Also, you mention 1Password 4. I don’t know if there’s a reason why you’re still on such an old version of the product, but I’m currently running the most up to date 1Password Version 7.3.712 on my PCs. They’re usually good and responsive about addressing accessibility bugs brought to their attention too. So other than that, don’t know what else to say.

Norma,
Sorry about being a bit late to the party.
I really like Keepass for managing my passwords in Windows. I find it is accessible with Fusion 2019 and JAWS. It is also free and you can read about it at the following link:
https://keepass.info/download.html
It's latest version is KeePass 2.43 which can be downloaded with the following link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/keepass/files/KeePass%202.x/2.43/KeePass-2.43-Setup.exe/download
If you use an iPhone or other iOS device, Mini Keepass is the app which works with the Keepass .kdbx database file. You have to transfer the database file to your iOS device either using a Dropbox account or iTunes since Keepass doesn't have a cloud service like 1Password. But it is free.
Here is a How-To Geek article on password managers you might want to read:
The article might be a bit dated and it is not written from an accessibility viewpoint but it does have some good information. Good luck with the selection process.

I find the app to be extremely accessible and well-maintained on the iPhone. I don’t use it on the Mac but I do use it on windows as well. It does a very good job of automatically synchronizing any updates that I make to my database. Again, it is quite accessible.

Hello there. Just to add a few things here re: key pass, though I am relatively new to it. Android has a similar setup with key pass droid. You can use key pass portably with the actual database file stored separate from the portable key pass folder, which is quite handy. E.g. key pass itself stored on your computer’s hard drive with the database file, that being the file that stores all of your usernames and passwords, stored on something like a thumb drive or external hard drive. It, of course, could also be stored on your computer as well. A few questions I have personally. Are there any settings that one recommends changing from the defaults? Any plug ins that work exceptionally well or are recommended? So far, really liking keypass. I don’t like the idea of my passwords in the cloud – to me, it is counter intuitive to store passwords using a service that itself could be compromised – as has happened with 1 password – and this is free. Of course, if the database file gets physically stolen e.g. thumb drive or computer, wherever the file may be stored, that in itself is a problem. So far as I know, however, when passwords get updated on, say, a computer, the file must be sent to the mobile device manually and vice versa.
