I use a word document :D I have it synced to my Dropbox so I can just sign in and copy and paste if needed. Also, I have access to my Dropbox on my phone all the time

I used to do that with pdf for passwords on mobile, gets a bit tedious, open app find document, unlock the password on the doc, search for login, hope it finds the right one, next next next, select password , hope there aren't page breaks copy, go to password field paste, sometimes back to doc select username, copy then back to webpage....

Safe in cloud, auto fills everything in chrome, or failing that open app search, click on field autocopy to clipboard.

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 :mad:
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?

Lastpass - not perfect but good. Just click the lastpass icon when on the cell c page and copy password. Then just paste it into the box. It's not often these sites use that approach.

My next move is to dev my own and host it on a free cloud instance like Amazon/Azure. I have the key and only I know what it's for.

I use Google Keep. Synced to all devices and none of my primary account passwords, like banking and main email. All passwords are hints, not the actual password.

Is that thing still under development I don't think so. Open to vulnerability imo.

Edit. Nevermind I see they resumed development on this.

Surely only as vulnerable as your hints. How well does it integrate with Firefox? I see no Google developed interface.

Was on Lastpass but recently started using Chrome/Google's built-in stuff instead.

Still prefer iCloud key chain but since I'm no longer on a Mac it's not an option.

I only use it on Android. Fast and to the point, unlike in a browser that's a bit heavy for my old laptop. As soon as I make a note I can pick up another device and see it there.
You can also share notes with someone and edit them together (apparently, never tested).
My phone's security code acts as master password. :)

It's updated almost as regulary as Gmail and the rest of Google's apps.

Also thinking of going back to it from keepass. Specially now that you can access your passwords at https://passwords.google.com/ and it can create passwords for you if you enable the flag chrome://flags/#enable-password-generation. Then there's also smart log and auto sign in.

Yeah its the passwords.google.com that swayed me as I can easily access it on mobile when I need to.

Would be nice if they could add a search/filter function to it though.
