Like most of us these days I have a host of passwords for various sites, including of course mybroadband. A password manager is very useful in remembering the URL's and the passwords required.
For a long time I have used Roboform and have been quite satisfied with it; I even purchased the product as the free version only allows for up to 10 sites to be saved. My gripe is that the later versions cannot be purchased on a once-off basis, but require an annual fee, and that I am not prepared to do. At one stage I even went back to my earlier (purchased) version, but somehow they have made it so that it is now also subject to the 10 password limit
As a result I have been trying a few (free) alternatives such as LastPass, Keepass and Dashlane. Each of these has their limitations, e.g. only allowing two fields to be saved but some sites require a username, pin and password. I am currently using LastPass and it is reasonably okay, but falls down on some sites such as CellC where the login is via a drop-down box.
What do you guys use - have you any recommendations?
