Password manager recommendation

Hi all! I'm thinking on start using a password manager. It starts to be super complicated to remember everything and I'm super tempted to start storing my passwords in text files... :-O :rolleyes: This said, 1. Do you use them? 2. Do you trust them? 3. Which one do you use? 4. Why? As always, thank you very much! :beer:

Don't like cloud stuff, I use Keepass, cross platform. Not to big a deal when your only password is 12345678 :)
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

PasswordSafe [^] and store the file in dropbox, does the job with limited bells and whistles. I've been using it for many years (too lazy and disinterested in looking at alternatives)

KeePass gets my vote. I can never fully bring myself to trust a password manager that runs as a browser add-on. It just seems to me like...a bad idea. Security is best when done in layers. Running a password manager outside the browser process space seems like the least one should do...

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I use keypass. you can run it on pc phones etc and the database is stored locally and does allow you to have multiple databases. It is used extensively at work by IT, but work tries to push lastpass to the users which has it advantages, but I prefer keypass.

Keepass, the interface looks a bit outdated but it has good functionality like synchronization and it is cross platform. portable-password-managers[^]

I use Keeper. A few years ago I had problems with two factor authentication and I found their support to be quick and helpful.

I keep all my passwords in an unencrypted textfile called "passwords.txt" in my Dropbox. Do you mean that's not safe? :confused:
