overseas trip this summer, I was worried accounts would be hard to retrieve on a different WiFi system. So I did a little research, and found out that iCloud encryption technology is quite strong. So I switched to that. It's been easy to retrieve the passwords and use them even on browsers that aren't default. A little more work but not much. And it's a lot faster than my old system of looking through paper files, and then later looking through the notes app on my devices, even being able to search.

I never trusted saving to the browser or cloud, being wary, until I tried it.
