#2I personally have become reliant on Lastpass, though 1Password's style is luring me. Any pros/cons of each you know?

Neat. Do you ever have trouble remembering them, and do you write them down somewhere to make sure you don't lose them?

#5Lastpass has freed me from generating complicated passwords and remembering them. It also syncs between all my browsers and even works in the iPhone.
I couldn't ask for more.

#6I use a traditional fat client application, keepassx: http://www.keepassx.org/
Runs equally well on OSX, Windows, Linux/X11. It supports "autotype" so that you don't have to fool with copy/paste.

#7Piece of paper in my wallet. I got the idea from Bruce Schneier, he says we're pretty good about keeping track of other pieces of paper there, and it's more secure than many other alternatives for frequently changing passwords.

#8I tried LastPass but the use of password offline and for non-web based applications was not working for me. The tools were awkward and difficult to use.
Went back to using KeePassX (http://www.keepassx.org) with Dropbox sync.
The biggest thing I learned: Putting passwords into LastPass was super easy and well thought out. Getting passwords out of LastPass was 'sub-optimal'.

#91Password with DropBox sync works flawlessly for me. I love it.
