I have always used only Password Safe (free). I can not imagine not using a password manager. Somehow I accumulated 100+ passwords. "It is the way"

I use one (Keypass, https://keypass.info) and I trust it. The price is right (free, although you can make a donation should you find it useful). I use it with both a master password and a keyfile and keep both stored in the cloud (Dropbox). With the database stored in the cloud you can install the client on any device and access it in the cloud. There's even a version for Android and you can make your Dropbox available to your Android device. I don't know about iOS, but there is a Mac client.
When I add a new entry, I just let the application create the password and I copy/paste it in the future. All I have to remember is the master password for the database and I'm good to go.

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. KeePass.
4. I wanted a tool that offers a keyboard shortcut I can use any time to execute an auto-typing of my username and password, as I have to enter my VPN credentials many times a day.

I work for a fortune 500 company that is serious about security. They only allow Keepass.

There was also an additional letter in the alphabet: Thorn (letter) - Wikipedia[^] - which is why you still see "Ye Olde Tea Shoppe" as "quaint cafés" - "Ye" is a thorn pronounced "the".

It still exists in Icelandic (Þ), along with eth (đ) for "soft" th.

We have it in Welsh as well: Dd
Also a soft "th".

Is it always soft, or is it contextual? Llandudno was tricky enough already!

Welsh pronunciation is very consistent - they will nearly always be pronounced in the same way. Instead we use mutations where the letter changes to make pronunciation easier (and sound better!)
So "Croeso i Cymru" ("Welcome to Wales") becomes "Croeso i Gymru" in written and pronounced forms.

C P T changes to G B D
D B G changes to Double-D F dim
I learned that almost 70 years ago. Weird how some things never leave you.

That explains it! I thought OG was just writing the upper and lower case versions: Dd. But D is literally doubled to mean dh! So C must always be hard (=K), though I don't know what you mean by dim. Something like a Spanish J?

Dim is a Welsh word meaning nothing. And in the rhyme it indicates that in a word beginning with G, the G will change to nothing (i.e. the G will disappear). Thus garreg (rock) becomes yr arreg (the rock). Sounds weird but Welsh is actually a nice logical language, unlike English. I just wish I could remember more of it.

Interesting, thanks. Almost as interesting as some bloke with a Scottish name being born in India and learning Welsh at a young age.

And lived in Turkey for two years, learning some of that language also.

But the thorn (or thurs, capital Þ minuscule þ) doesn't look like a Y at all.
The Kaun or ᚴ, in medieval runes does though. I think someone messed up again.
