What password manager are you using?

[Tactically Fat]

The time has come for me to move into the modern era. I can no longer keep up with my prior password nomenclature system. I need a manager.

What do you use?

 

[BigRed]

I just keep my passwords the same as my user name.

I just have a spreadsheet on an encrypted thumb drive (libreoffice calc sheet). I export it as a pdf that is read-only so I can view/search/copy-paste without worrying about inadvertently modifying the original.

I duplicate my primary drive to another one that stays in the safe every time I change/update any info.

If you want one that automatically enters the password on web sites, a Windows or MAC user, check out Keypass or Bitwarden. Both are open source.

I use LastPass. It syncs across desktop browsers and mobile devices.

Keepass, has versions for almost all platforms.

KeePass Password Safe

KeePass is a free open source password manager. Passwords can be stored in an encrypted database, which can be unlocked with one master key.

LastPass. Keep a CSV export printed and on a USB in the file safe. Just in case.

Good ole pen and paper, keeping multiple copies. I probably need to look into a password manager as I'm sure there are pros and cons to each. If i lose the paper or it gets damaged/stolen that's no good so thanks for starting this thread to jog my thinking.

Password Agent.

But I don't need a "mobile" solution.

Sticky Password for me. Syncs across platforms easily and autofills in most browsers.

Cross platform compatibility may not be what I'm after.

I make it a habit to have my browsers not save any data / history upon closing.

I think I need a program that'll keep the passwords in a file, that I can access via my phone, for logging in to various websites that need it. Banking, health insurance, car/home insurance, etc etc.

I also do not sign in to Chrome anywhere that I can help it, so having something "follow" me between phone, home, and work won't work for me either. I don't think. I for sure don't sign in to Chrome at work; though we're allowed de minimis personal usage.

Lastpass. I don't currently use the browser extensions part of it, but I do have it selected as the autofill provider on my phone (of course it requires TouchID to do so). If the browser extensions are as useful as that part of it I may look into those in the future.

Apple has a built in one that is sufficient for my needs.

You don't have to use the browser extensions and even if you did, I don't think it's saving passwords in the browser but rather accessing your vault if appropriate. As stated above I don't user the browser extension for Lastpass so there is no autofilling for me in the browsers anyway. I've used lastpass and the phone app for it for years. I do have it linked into my phone for the autofill provider, but it prompts me and I use my biometric to allow that to happen (just started using that piece)

Personally I use last pass. At work I wrote my own in powershell.

 

[CampingJosh]

I use LastPass, and I do use both the browser extension and the mobile system.

I've been quite happy with it for 6+ years now.

 

[ultra...good]

I just keep my passwords the same as my user name.

I used to do this too, but then one of those crafty hackers figured me out. I still use my username, but backwards. (Don't tell anybody)

 

[Biggredchev]

Ive got all mine on paper in a fire resistant safe and notes in my phone. I use the same 3 passwords for most everything so if i did lose both copies ive got a 1/3 chance of getting into my stuff without much hassle.

That's a very bad idea. Hacker gets a password from one place... and now has access to 1/3 of your accounts.

clicky -> 1 password

Been using Lastpass for a few years now. Never a problem.
