What password manager do you use?

1 password.

I used to use the same password everywhere then Skype leaked my password.


It's bloody difficult to remember the right password for all the services I use

This.. As an added note on why I chose 1Password.
- app is updated, maintained etc on one flat fee (granted in past this was costly, they have a free their these days)
- sync to multiple devices, password generator, strength calc, alerts, capture al happens
- paid cloud features exist for teams and family (I don't use presently)
- multi platform & cloud support, Apple family support

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?

Definitely DashLane
 
I installed lastpass on a fresh windows 10 machine the other day and it caused multiple crashes in IE. Going to try dashlane a bit later.
 
OP here: Thank you all for your replies. I have tried a few of those mentioned, but was not very happy with them. I am currently trying out LastPass and it seems to do the job okay. Specifically - it can handle three field logins. I am not very happy with the fact that all my information is stored in the cloud, but that it just me being paranoid.
Latest: I have managed to get my old, once-off purchased, version of Roboform going again, and I still prefer it to any of the others.
 
What happens when you travel / are at a pc where you cannot install browser plugins? I assume most of these password managers work via a browser plugin? Can I log in to those sites entirely via a mobile device (my phone) in such a case?

I just use the mobile app. It's possible to view your LastPass vault with it.

Last pass if I remember correctly you can access the password list via any browser, the password filling won't be automated but you can still easily copy and paste.

Same for 1Password.
 
my answer to the OP's title:

My brain. IE no paper or electronic storage of said data.

and Banking, 7 mail accounts(FB has its own, and own password, same for mybb), PC login.


In addition to my own I remember many if not most passwords used on clients' LANs, PCs etc. At least the ones I need to use every few months. In some cases even related IP addresses.

I have on many ocxasions typed out password lists for clients, printed 3 copies, not saved it. Handed client printed pages for safe keeping, and that way they don't need to ask me, and do not have cause or reason to say I lock them out of what is theirs....
 
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
