I do not recommend any in particular because we are all different. All I can say is that I enjoyed using Authy.

#32I’ve used 1Password for the last 3 years and it works like a charm.

#33The discussion here is somewhat relevant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20026297
I typically say:
1. Anything is better than nothing.
2. 1Password is pretty good.
3. Keepass is the best if you are ultra paranoid.

#34I really love KeePass. I don't feel comfortable with 3rd party cloud services.
There are also apps for Android and iOS to work with KeePass databases. It's everything easy.

I love the keepass ecosystem, but would never recommend it to family who isn't very computer literate, and the iOS offerings are poor, with kypass being the only full functioning one, and it's closed source and a little buggy. I worry a little bit about using it to manage my passwords.

Isn't an irony to worry about 'closed source' in Apple's iOS?

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
Last pass MUST be avoided. It is closed sourced and has been exposed to hacks before
I mean open source ftw but it being closed source doesn't mean you should avoid it. What hacks I've heard nothing of the sort
AFAIK in the security world, closed source is considered really bad.
