How much do you pay to manage your passwords?

I rolled my own password app many years ago and am quite happy with it...one of my only projects to use SQL CE. Why any developer would pay for such a simple app is beyond me. :laugh:

Me too. I wrote a CP article and made all source available as Open Source via Github too. Users Hate Passwords (We're All Users): Never Memorize a Password Again[^] Free is better.

Is it shocking for you people use password managers or that they use paid password managers? I'm using 1Password for some time on family plan. It allows me to have unique secure password to everything including services "shared" with my wife (netflix, amazon,...) Sure, I can roll my own solution, but why should I? For $5 per month I don't think it's worth it. I have access to everything on my home rig, work laptop, phone and tablet. And well... I tip more than $5 on single restaurant bill. However if you doubt using password managers at all then I suggest reading this https://www.troyhunt.com/only-secure-password-is-one-you-cant/[^]

me too, exactly the same situation. Infact, I also use it to share passwords with the accountant etc. You can get a fixed fee product. However, think about the business model.... I want my passwords to be safe forever.... so therefor I should pay for the upkeep of that. one off cost model... I want my passwords to be safe today... pay today... hope forever that there is never a problem!

I just saw this on the app store for the 1Password app and I'm so stunned that people are paying this much to manage their passwords using 1Password app. Wow! Really shocking. Supposedly millions of people use this app. Snapshot of the prices paid monthly for individual and families for 1Password app[^]. $3.99 a month. $34.99 annually I just cannot imagine having to pay for a subscription to manage my passwords.

KeePass and KeePass Mobile = Free Password DB stored in Dropbox Folder and synced between all devices = Free ...Nobody else controlling or having my collection of passwords = Priceless! With all the hooplah around encryption backdoors, companies working with 3-letter agencies, and cloud companies keeping access to supposed "encrypted" content of thier customers, I'd rather my passwords be encrypted locally, and then synced rather than trust that the companies running the servers can't access the data. The fact it's a free solution to the problem is icing on the cake.

Whats wrong with a Post It (in the Log book for extra security :laugh: )?? Seriously, I dread to think what would happen if someone hacked a password safe.

I know I often think about that too. It's also why my app does not store your password but generates a SHA256 that you use for your password (from a graphic pattern and a random site key you provide). But, that is somewhat of a gratuitous plug for my article and opens source project ( Users Hate Passwords (We're All Users): Never Memorize a Password Again[^] ). :-D

Personally I pay zero. But I have a coworker who paid for a secure memory stick to hold all his passwords. And of course, he lost the password for the secure stick! lol. The sad part is, after 5 unsuccessful attempts at the password, it DELETES the flash memory. He has used 4/5 attempts and it now sits on his desk to haunt him for the rest of his life... lol

I paid Zero, too. There's no need for a password manager, really. As long as we are creative at rearranging the letters of the web address + app name + our unique numbers which is used across site. Using this method, it's almost impossible for somebody to guess it. If somebody do obtain the password, it must be because of hack / security leak / bug, which password manager can do nothing about as well.

I don't understand why you would pay for something you can get for free? I haven't used 1Password, but I'm probably getting most of the same functionality by using [KeePass](keepass.info "KeePass") and a free DropBox account, but it doesn't cost me anything.
