so a tool to consider is keypass or lastpass. Lastpass will crawl your browsers and extract all of the passwords and save them in an online vault. from there you can install a helper for IE, Firefox, Edge, chrome that allows you access to them. In addition you can sync these via website or mobile app on the phone. I wouldn't do craigslist for machines unless you wnated to be dealing with it frequently, but something to consider is the Amazon refurbs you can get a pretty decent newer laptop for anywhere from 150-400 pretty easy.
