I've been using an excel workbook that is stored in an encrypted image as my ways to manage passwords. How are these services that people mention in the comments, better at doing the same? Is there a better way someone has come up with to manage passwords where you don't have to rely on these services?

On my Android phone I use a keepass app that includes a keyboard, which integrates typing in username/password.
Also supports 2fa totp, which feels to me like poking holes in the whole idea, but if you want to use it it's there.

Been using 1Password for years now... those guys are super committed to their software, I really like their product.
I've been a serious 1Password user for ~3 years. Love it. Mac OSX app, and Chrome plugin are amazing. It's a little pricey, but I think it's worth it. However - don't think about using 1Password if you're on a windows machine - their windows app is really janky and works just enough to be usable
Is there something remotely as good as 1Password for Linux?

Agreed. Logically, something like KeepassX ( https://www.keepassx.org/ ) is the most logical, secure choice. I think a lot of people pick Lastpass and such for the convenience of browser integration, but I don't think that's necessarily impossible with keepassx - just so happens that nobody is really working on it (which is a shame).
An important thing is that LastPass works on mobile.

#205I've been using LastPass since 2011 and have been really happy with it (other than the slightly opaque UI and design from the 90's).
I'm hopeful about the acquisition, maybe logmein can give some UI/UX guidance to the LastPass team, while the LastPass team can help expand and grow to help more people to use a password manager.
If not, there are plenty of other password managers out there, I suppose.

#207First off, congrats to the LastPass team! You guys have built an awsrome product and company. My hope now is that LastPass won't go down the same path as Meldium, after they were acquired by logmein; the product went downhill very quickly. In the case of Meldium, it seems they were trying to improve the UI by improving the design at the expense of functionality. It feels like LastPass is in a similar position now.

Are there plugins for safari/firefox/chrome and does it work on ios and have a nice little cli? I'm basically preparing to bail on lastpass with this news but need to have all my bases covered.
With KeePass I haven't felt the need for a browser plugin: Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V is easy enough for my tastes. Plus, in Windows the "auto fill" works more often than not (reducing things to just Ctrl+V in KeePass). There are multiple KeePass clients on iOS and just about all of them support things like Dropbox sync. A curses-based CLI for KeePass, KeePassC was just recently on HN: http://raymontag.github.io/keepassc/
I'll look at some of this tonight thanks!

One option I've been meaning to look, but haven't had a reason to because of LastPass is Encryptr [ https://encryptr.org/ ], but now I might need to. They have Android and Linux support, but not browser plugin I think. Also, it comes from the same people as SpiderOak...
Encryptr is interesting and looks very nice. Includes source: https://github.com/devgeeks/Encryptr But it doesn't appear to have anything like Lasspass's autofill on android that supports the fingerprint reader.

> Are there plugins for safari/firefox/chrome I just save+sync passwords in Firefox and use a strong master password. I (usually) only need to paste the password from Keepass once unless I elect to not save it (such as with financial logins). > does it work on ios? Google seems to return lots of results for iOS Keepass apps. You'll want to vet them on your own. I use KeePassDroid on Android and like it well enough.
I forgot about my nexus tablet but android is the other thing to have a look into.
