Just a follow up: what do you use for secrets files, like ssh keys? Everytime I find my self in some mess with too many keys to manage. :\
`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/
I use iCloud Keychain on macOS and iOS. Both operating systems include a rudimentary interface for managing passwords, and automatically store passwords entered in Safari. Keychain Access on macOS also allows to create secure notes on iCloud Keychain.

+1 for gopass
I'm confused — what's the difference of `pass` and `gopass`?

Wouldn't combining the "master_password", "domain" and your username/email save you from worrying about the "n" variable? You are using "n" to differentiate from multiple accounts on "domain", right?.. or am I misunderstanding?
No, I'm using 'n' to deal with websites that periodically require you to change password and enforce that you use a new password I suppose I could also do it as master_password + '/' + domain + str(n) or something like that.
Edit: nevermind, this would prevent you from retrieving the password - I had in mind a password generator, sorry.

This, IIRC, requires an older version of 1Password. Version 4, from the "Who moved my cheese" discussion of 1Password's most recent subscription changes.
I can confirm this option still exists in 1Password 6 (I'm using the iCloud sync but I see the option for dropbox as well). I'm not sure how to get the license though. I only see the upgrade path that I took - not the outright purchase.
You can still purchase a Mac license there. I don't see a Windows option, but I'm viewing this from a Mac, so not sure if they're just hiding it. (Some people in this thread have said that there's no longer a non-subscription version for Windows.)
I feel like I should move to Keepass at some point, but it's one of those cases where if I'm apathetic long enough, Keepass will be gone and I'll still have my Emacs setup.
This 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…

iCloud Keychain works great for me. Although, if I could change one thing, it would be to add a dedicated iOS app, instead of having to go to Settings > Safari > Passwords.
I'm unhappy with support for windows/linux/chromeos, so I was already looking for alternatives.
I manage certain passwords (PGP keys, some very high privilege accounts, etc.) separately (primarily offline, and some split).
Considering building/paying to have built something that truly meets my needs, since my needs are fairly general.
