1Password & gopass ( https://www.justwatch.com/gopass/ , it's "pass" compatible if you are using that already). I don't really mind the subscription service as it works fine across all platforms I use.

#62Earlier quoted context omitted.
What do you use to read the DB files on your phone? I'm new to iPhone and looking for an app I trust right now.
I use MiniKeepass [1]. It's open-source [2] and I build it myself to load onto my phone. [1]: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/minikeepass-secure-password-manager/id451661808?mt=8 [2]: https://github.com/MiniKeePass/MiniKeePass
Awesome thanks!

#63This is my password manager. password = b64encode(hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac( 'sha256', (master_password + '/' + domain).encode(), b'', 100000 + n )).decode()[0:16] + 'Aa$1' master_password = some master password that you never write or store anywhere domain = domain name for the service in question, e.g. 'facebook.com' n = the nth password being generated for the domain (typically 0) The 'Aa$1' is to ensure satisfaction of…
Disadvantages:
- You have to keep track of n for every site.
- If the master password is compromised, you have to change each password manually.
- Not well-integrated with browsers.
- Far less convenience on a phone.

#65`pass` is a nice command line tool that stores gpg2 encrypted password files. It's simple, super handy and doesn't require you to trust any third party with what you're storing. website: https://www.passwordstore.org/ man page: https://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/about/
+1 for `pass`. I wrote a handy Bash script [1] that lets me easily search my passwords without having an exact match (e.g., `fpass fin cap one` quickly finds my password info for "Financial/CapitalOne.gpg"). It makes pulling up passwords so much easier as I only need to remember fragments of how I stored it instead of trying to remember exact folders and names using auto-complete to find the password. I also use iTer…
> The only downside is no access from my phone.
On Android, I use Password Store to sync my `pass` directory and use it from the phone. It a very high quality app, I had no issues after years of usage.

#66Enpass, all the way. Free (Gratis) on Mac, Windows & Linux, US$10 for iPhone or Android.
100% local storage, or sync the encrypted file via Dropbox.

#67I use https://pwdhash.com algorithmic password generator. It is the sweet spot of more security without too much added frustration.
Usually I use the Chrome extension, but when that fails I built a more user friendly web interface: https://ph.leftium.com
To avoid having to change all my passwords at once when one password must be changed, I suffix my master password with a sequential suffix. In the worst case, the last few suffixes don't work and I use the service's password reset feature to update the password to the latest suffix.

#68I just use lines of poetry for my passwords. They're long enough, complex enough, but extremely easy for humans to memorize.
If it were me I'd add a bit of salt (some random string) to those...

#69Subscription to 1Password is not mandatory. Or at least it was not in the past. Without a subscription, you can create local vaults which can be synced via Dropbox, iCloud or over WiFi within the same subnet (which means over VPN too). Here is some documentation on the Dropbox sync for example: https://support.1password.com/sync-with-dropbox/
The subscription isn't really mandatory, but I've been quite disappointed at the transparency with which they've been pushing people towards that...even those of us that purchased the full version somewhat recently. For instance, the complete lack of a Windows version that isn't subscription based is a huge pain since I got a cheap Kodi box recently and my keyboard is a remote control that sucks for typing passwords.…
I currently have 1password and 1password 6 installed. At some point I followed an "upgrade" suggestion, found out I don't get the upgrade for free and I had put new passwords into what is now an expired version.
Nothing about that made me happy.
Re: Ask HN: What is your password management solution?
#70> I'm a bit unhappy with 1Password. I don't want a subscription service, I want something that keeps an encrypted file that I can put in dropbox.
> What is everyone else using these days?
I use a self made password matrix in paper.
