Password manager recommendation
-
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.
Me too. easy to use and I keep it on all my machines and sync them periodically. That way id I add a new PW it wind up everywhere. Great Stuff! and it's FREE!
My favorite.

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

I wrote my own, way back when I started learning C# - I keep promising myself that I'll find time to rewrite it, but ... you know how that goes! :laugh:

I did too. Later in c# when forms were in, before wpf, Infragistics came out with a great set of Windows controls and I wanted to put them to the test. I made a simple table application that allowed column configuration and encryption of the data. I use that for my login info.

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:

I have always used only Password Safe (free). I can not imagine not using a password manager. Somehow I accumulated 100+ passwords. "It is the way"

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.

I use one (Keypass, https://keypass.info) and I trust it. The price is right (free, although you can make a donation should you find it useful). I use it with both a master password and a keyfile and keep both stored in the cloud (Dropbox). With the database stored in the cloud you can install the client on any device and access it in the cloud. There's even a version for Android and you can make your Dropbox available to your Android device. I don't know about iOS, but there is a Mac client. When I add a new entry, I just let the application create the password and I copy/paste it in the future. All I have to remember is the master password for the database and I'm good to go.

It should be definitely an open source project. I use Keepass, standard client on PC (with download favicons plugin), and Keepass2Android on the smartphone. The database file is in cloud (Google Drive). Nice and easy, I now store everything precious inside my keepass database. In case of an emergency you just have to remember (and maybe pass to others) two passwords: cloud (Google Drive) and Keepass database file.

But then I'd probably not be able to find it when I need it myself... :sigh:

1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. KeePass. 4. I wanted a tool that offers a keyboard shortcut I can use any time to execute an auto-typing of my username and password, as I have to enter my VPN credentials many times a day.
