I never used password manager ,because it will makes me forget passwords...

That's one way to look at it.

But another way to look at it is that your computer is supposed to do some of the work for you, otherwise you may as well be living in the 1800's.

At work, I can do the work of THREE people because I use scripts and macros and know how to get my computer to do some of the work for me.

That is, afterall, why they hired me instead of another one of the folks doing 1/3rd the "efficiency".

Maybe you are right,but a situation has happened before:the hard drive was broken...

The discussion of "whether one should" use Supermium's password manager is sort of irrelevant to @kwisomialbert's question anyway. He "does" want to use it but it's not working for him. So, is password manager broken in the latest version? (I don't have Supermium myself so I can't check.)

As for losing your passwords if the HDD crashes, I know; make regular backups, yada yada. But again, the computer is supposed to do some of the work for you, and storage isn't that expensive. So why doesn't the password manager make multiple copies of your passwords, ideally on different drives if you have them?

For that matter, why isn't mirroring/RAID more common in PCs today, so if an HDD fails, you just replace it and let the PC take care of rebuilding everything? Two or even three 2.5" drives don't cost that much or take up much space.

Supermium's password manager is working fine for me, and always has done.

It is backed up to the cloud by Google Sync, so it's synchronised with my other Supermium installations on other machines,
(I know, I know, but it works for me, and I don't use it for any really sensitive passwords like online banking!)

I back up my whole machine locally regularly as well, of course.

...It wasn't working for him, but now it is  :

Edit: Solved by deleting the profile and importing csv file

PS: The forum software doesn't send a second (e-mail) notification to thread-subscribed members after one has edited one's original post (for which an initial notification has already been sent) ...

Browser profile corruption is always a possibility, so, as others have noted, regular profile back-up and back-up of important info on physical copies is always strongly recommended  ...

Thanks, both of you. As I don't use Supermium myself, I'd forgotten that it isn't "unGoogled" and, therefore, Google Sync is available to back up one's passwords with a somewhat reasonable level of security.
