If you have a computer and regularly go online, then there are several tools every user requires. Users should backup their documents and system regularly, ensure applications are updated regularly, have some anti-virus protection and finally have a secure password management system in place. Many people use either weak passwords or the same password across different websites. Both these practices are wrong. Check out https://haveibeenpwned.com/ for an idea of how frequently websites get hacked and account details get breached. 11 billion accounts at the last count. Your email account should be the best protected - once they're in that, they have access to everything else. Passwords should be strong and unique. However, this makes remembering them impossible, no matter what system you use - passphrases, sentences, etc.
While 1Password may be great, there are always alternatives and BitWarden should be at least considered. It's open-source and works across multiple devices.
Install this and try it, but at least use one password manager. Ensure all your passwords are unique and ensure all your passwords are strong.

After six months I would need to pay $5 per month.

I bought a lifetime licence of Sticky Password Pro for about $30. So I will not test today's six months offer.

See https://www.slant.co/versus/2820/2826/~1password_vs_sticky-password
"1Password is ranked 5th while Sticky Password is ranked 32nd."

krypteller,

From online reviews 1Password does look good and should be tried today if a passworrd manager is not already being used.

Depending on which review site you read, 'expert' opinions vary as to which are better than others. For instance here are two recent reviews (from your DuckDuckGo link):

https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-password-managers/

https://www.tomsguide.com/us/best-password-managers,review-3785.html

I did notice that, for instance, the bestreviews.net review you post is at least a bit out of date: Sticky Password DOES support the 'new' Microsoft Edge among other features. Generally, from impressions I gather from reading the developer's responses to user's comments in their support forums, Sticky Password seems to err on the side of caution (maintaining security) for usually good reasons when it comes to any rush to match features with other password managers.

However, like you, (so far) I'm already a happy multi-platform 'lifetime' Sticky Password user for years since an earlier GOTD offer.

Also, I do think there might (hopefully) be some advantage in not using the most popular and therefore possibly hacker-targeted of the password managers. But that would be no reason to avoid trying 1Password today if not already using a password manager.

Thanks for your comment, and to GOTD and 1Password for today's great offer (even if I won't be taking advantage of it).
