said by Mangix:I use free LastPass. The main reason is all the integration with chrome and everything else. Website is nice as well.
I use Lastpass as well for maintaining passwords for all non-financial web sites. All the usual web sites like dslreports, facebook, msn it is good enough for me.
But for banks, brokerages, retail sites, health insurance site, etc. I use an offline tool: Password Corral 4.0.

said by pats_lose :I find the password manager in my head is currently still safest and most trustworthy to date.
You must have a great memory. I have over 90 passwords to various sites. All are randomly generated and different from site to site. I am happy to just remember the passwords to the 2 password tools I use.

I like using Post-it v1.0.
I've actually decided to start using KeePass Professional. |

This thread got me thinking about how it's waaaaaay past due for managing my passwords more effectively. After reinstalling Kepass Professional I'm liking it very much now!
When I tried it years ago I had some difficulties with it and not get it to work correctly. I can't remember if I was using the .NET version or not. Now it works just as I expect it too. Feel much better using secure unique passwords as I was using 1 -3 similar passwords across all sites I'm registered with. Absolutely horrid thing to do, but now I can safely say I'm done creating passwords that way. Now EVERY site; banking, community forums, e-mail... BBR  has a unique lengthy password (when allowed) that I don't even know. KeePass stores it all in a database file. Database file is backed up of course as part of my external system/data backup images, and a separate database file is backed up to a USB key.
EDIT: Just read up how you should NOT keep the database file and the key file in the same folder/directory. So I may change that, but at the moment I'm not sure what the reason behind this is? The keyfile itself is useless without the master password to the database file and the master password to the datasbase is useless without the keyfile...

So I may change that, but at the moment I'm not sure what the reason behind this is? The purpose of the keyfile is an additional protection: an additional piece of information that would need to be obtained/compromised. In other words, compromise of your passphrase alone is not sufficient to gain access.
If you keep your keyfile and database together, there may be little additional security benefit over just using a strong passphrase (with no keyfile).
I kept my keyfile on a USB key that was also securely archived to protect in the event of a failure of the USB key.
There are a few threads in the KeePass forums which cover this question, but one recent one: »sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discus···d88d47c/ |

Switched to lastpass from keepass a few years ago and have never looked back. I absolutely love it. My biggest thing with password managers is cross platform capabilities and many lack proper linux support (keepass + mono is awful). I also like the ability to open my passwords from my cell phone in case I am away from my own computer and want to login to something. Lastpass offers all of this and the best part is it offers it without any hassle involved. I use lastpass in combination with multifactor authentication and feel very safe.
I should also mention I used to be against lastpass especially since data is stored remotely, but after doing some research I realized I was being unreasonable. One thing to remember about lastpass, encryption is done LOCALLY. Using a strong password + multifactor there really is nothing to worry about. Another plus is you can limit logins based on country and block logins from TOR. |
