I use a combination of a Yubikey and GnuPG. My GnuPG private key has a password which consists of two parts:

1) A long secure password stored on my Yubikey 2) A shorter password (stored mentally)

Passwords are saved into individual files and encrypted with my private key using pass[0].

[0] pass: http://www.passwordstore.org/

I use lastpass. It is probably safer to use something like KeePass, but it is just so much easier to use lastpass.

Auto fills logins if you want, instantly generate/save passwords in the browser, mobile app that will fill in logins on my phone, etc

I have used password managers for more than 4 years now.

Here is how I work -

1. When life used to be simple, (read without smartphone and tabs) I just used desktop based Roboform (NOT cloud based) These days most of the companies promote cloud syncing of passwords, I am completely averse to storing passwords on cloud even if it means bit of discomfort.

2. Now for iPhone and iPad, I downloaded Dashlane, activated their syncing feature for few hours and synced my passwords on both the devices.
