Please Advise/Recommend an Easy PW Manager?

You've got that right! The Trained IT that installed it on my 'puter then attempted to "teach" me how to use it properly, I'm sorry to say, was wasting his time. Since then I have re-installed it and am trying to follow their instructions but have not gotten past really the 1st couple of...
