Password manager

[xrapidx]

Can anyone recommend a good preferably free/cheap password manager? I find myself continually forgetting various passwords.

I have tried to use these password managers. It just doesnt work for me.

I have rather made an algorithm containing certain words and information from reason for the password that I use.

for example : (not my algorithm)

Mybb password would be - iluvbaconmybb6532

"my common password"+mybb+"every second number from my id number to the value of the previous word"

I used to do something similar, but I'm finding more and more sites having various different password policies, and its these I'm forgetting.

Yes the capitalisation and the special characters.

The "my common password" part of the password has that covered. I also have uncommon and secure variants of that bit.

Lastpass definitely. Its never failed me & you can export all the passes for safekeeping just in case. (seeing how most consist of 6fg6SA4G5FDGr3AH16we5 there is little hope of remembering them).

even does 2 factor authentication afaik.
