Although it's technically possible to trawl through the battle archives, it's a bit of a pain. So it was sensibly suggested that we have one pinned thread here where anybody is welcome to repost their old beat battle beats. Well... the ones you still like anyway. So get posting and keep adding your newer ones too as you make them.

Right I know you are all waiting for my latest update. I've moved all my passwords to LastPass, and now moved all my wife's into her own account. It makes you realise what a ball-ache your digital life is, particularly if you use different O/S and systems. So my wife had clashing stored passwords on her iCloud keychain (via her iPhone and iPad), and then a boatload of other stuff on Chrome on her desktop PC. I guess most people just reset passwords if they get stuck, but this is where my mum gets annoyed - she resets it on her iPad then gets locked out again on her Android phone as it's using old saved passwords. It's quite a bit of effort to do a digital tidy up, reset passwords to complex random strings and manage it all via LastPass. Once you've got there it seems reasonable, though it's got stuck a couple of times trying to autofill android or iOS app logins. A bit hit and miss but at least you can just open LastPass and copy / paste the password as a fall back. The Chrome plugin works OK though it can be a bit quirky when it's already open and you are doing new stuff (i.e. not refreshing or things being sorted in a weird way). The best feature for me so far is the ability to share passwords with other people. So things that are in my name but my wife needs access to, all appear as shared logins on her account now. I find this quite a tidy way of doing things (and you can choose to share the password but not make it viewable). It also means I should be able to admin my mums accounts a bit more easily if needed. Having some "emergency" trusted person who then gets the keys to your digital life is pretty decent. My brother is the executor of my will in case both me and the wife snuff it simultaneously, so in a morbid way it's good he can get access to everything if needed (I think). The only other one I got to when looking around was 1Password, but I went for LastPass, no idea why really.
