Keepass. Or the reimplementations on varios other platforms (macpass) etc.

Dashlane here after trying and disliking Lastpass. I find myself getting annoyed with Dashlane from time to time too but I think that’s just because I’ve become so dependant on it, and if the website in question does something wonky with their login functionality then there’s only so much that an app can do to auto fill it.

It looks like they all offer export / import functionality for each other so you can try a few without having to re-do the set up - I’m amazing at how many logins it’s collected for me.

I mostly can remember my password but I'm also currently using the text files to make sure (which are in a 4GB encrypted drive kept at a strategic location!), I think it works reasonably well, but a good open source manager would be appealing, I'll check KeePass

Seems Lastpass offers multiple devices & sync for free, but on Dashlane that's a paid feature... what did you dislike about Lastpass?

I'd be tempted to use Keepass (kee-pass? keep-ass?) and just store the database on my ownCloud host, but I've had a bunch of really irritating issues & bugs with OC lately that is putting me off. Still, always like FOSS solutions when I can.

lastpass and use google authenticator and a yubikey nfc for 2fa. i only use the yubikey for lastpass. i add google authenticator to any account that takes it as a 2FA option.

It was ages ago so can't remember to be honest, other that it doing some dumb stuff that made me rage quit. But I know it gets good reviews and it's probably improved since I tried it - also it's probably a different experience depending on the user and their behavior.

Just try a couple I'd say!

I've been using the combination of Lastpass and Keepass for roughly 9 years. There have been some annoyances with Lastpass, like it not autofilling on certain pages, etc. But overall, it's made it possible to use long random passwords on all websites. Keepass I use for non-web-based passwords as well as an emergency offline backup for some of the more important things stored in Lastpass.

Keepass. Been using it for years and love it. I avoid storing passwords in online password managers.

I'm a fan of telling most people to use their browser's password manager (especially Chrome and Safari users) for most stuff. Just remember to disable autofill.

A dedicated password manager is just another app that needs access to your passwords in addition to your browser (which will eventually get them to log into sites). You're just doubling the amount of software you have to trust, doubling the risk of compromise.

They do offer a major convenience feature (not being limited to just browser passwords) and a major security feature (securing data at rest, but few people need this and even fewer are willing to make the convenience trade-off).

You should never remember any passwords you use for any online services.
