Password ManagerHate to admit it but maybe I could use one.
Never used one before, not really sure how they work.
Any recommendations? |

I use Roboform (paid version) and it works very well for me. Integrates with your browser and can also fill in other info for forms. Name, Address,Credit Card info, etc. » www.roboform.com/Theres also a free version but its limited to 10 or 15 entries. |

I've been using 1Password -- I used it on my home Windows desktop, iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Air. |

Another vote for Roboform. I have been using it for four or five years.
I like it because it will keep all of my passwords sync-ed across all of my computers.
Some people dislike the idea of cloud storage of their data, but it is encrypted on my machine before it goes up and no one else has the key. Beside that, I don't have it keep my financial passwords, so even if someone were able to hack my account, they could do minimal damage. |

I've been using mSecure for years. Syncing iPhone mSecure to Windows mSecure is pretty easy. Many other mSecure flavors available. » msevensoftware.com/ |

Re: Password ManagerI use KeePass also. It keeps everything on your computer and you can print out the info and store save the info somewhere also. |

LastPass. How it works - Security Now! - Episode 256 - LastPassLastPass Premium is $1 a month. The main benefits you get are the ability to use it on all of your devices, they support more than just Apple and Android, and two factor authentication, I use a Yubikey with mine. |

Another Keepass user here. On their website there's also links to ports that work on various other devices and OSes. |

Since we're here... Password CorralIt just had a recent update, v4.0.6. ("a couple small changes and bug fixes" so not a whole lot to get worked up about.) Prior, 5 years prior, that is, there was v4.0.4. (a "Maintenance Release", so again not a whole lot to get worked up about.) Myself, I stick with v3.4.6, from 11/05/2002  . |

I had used KeePass previously and would still recommend it. I now use 1Password and would recommend it. You don't mention specific requirements, such as platform (Windows, MacOS X, iPhone/iPad, Android, etc) but this could be helpful. Similarly, do you have any type of synchronization requirements, such as between your phone and desktop? |

Lastpass is great. The pay version is only required if you want to use it on mobile (where it works great as well).
I get the feeling that Keepass is only still popular because people have been using it for years, and switching to a new one isn't exactly trivial. Personally I see no reason to use a full blown windows application for this when a cloud-based service like Lastpass with a browser plugin is more convenient. Obviously there are risks with keeping your passwords on a third party server, though, so you have to consider that. |

If you take a read or listen to the Security Now! podcast episode I linked earlier you'll find out that LastPass only stores an encrypted version of your passwords. So they can't give out your passwords without you providing your master password. LastPass was very upfront with how their product works, no security through obscurity. |

I know all that, which is why I use them. Some would still say that having passwords encrypted on your computer means that even if someone finds out the master password, they still can't get into your passwords. Not an issue if you're smart about your master password, but still technically more secure than being accessible anywhere. |
