#721password on iOS/OSX. There was a big discount on both a while back and I jumped on it. Even today, I'd consider paying for it. I've tried all the open source options, none of them worked nearly as well as 1pwd.

1password is vulnerable to hackers because they rely on third party storage via dropbox. I wouldn't trust my sensitive info with them.

#73I use lastpass. Never tried any other password manager. I don't mind logging into it. On my phone I can swipe my thumb. The only thing I don't like is having to type out the long random passwords on non-physical-keyboards - like setting up a roku to connect to amazon play and spending an extra 15 clicks switching case/keyboard. How often do you have to log into it? Is it specific to a device?
I'm guessing you use Lastpass premium if you use it on your phone? I use lastpass on all my devices. I like the phone app but I got premium for free for one year and it's about to run out. Looking for a free alternative.
It's only $12 a year for the premium service. Do you feel you're not getting at least $12 value for the ability to have a reliable, secure password manager that is actively supported?
I'd skip lunch for a day to pay for it.

What? I thought the encryption was the whole point of a password manager…

#75I use a secret scheme that only I know. It works like this - I have one single long complex "base" password, which is no problem for me to remember, which has letters, numbers, caps, and symbols so all password checkers are happy. Then, for every site I change that password using my secret scheme. I won't say what mine is, but an example is that I change the 3rd character to match the 3rd character of the URL, and I…
I do something very similar - a base password made unique by the URL. The pain in the behind is when you're on a site that requires a password change every X days, and you have to make up something else.

For passwords that change I use something similar to the Dominic mnemonic system to add a suffix to the password, this is for passwords that I really need to remember myself.

#77Earlier quoted context omitted.
I also recommend this. I use it on my phone too. The downside is it's not targeted towards linux users. That said you can hack together access via Dropbox if you need access to your vault on linux.
Is there a writeup on how to access it via linux?

#78I use 1Password for personal and Meldium for work so we can assign different passwords to different users.

First, you are not required to use dropbox with 1Password.
Second, the data stored in dropbox is encrypted by a key that only you have. Dropbox has no way to see what is inside that bundle without your long password.

#80I use Lastpass Enterprise to manage the workplace users and their passwords, overall it works quite well. For personal logins I use Keepass synced using Google Drive.
