I've been using LastPass for a few years, and it works abut 95% of the time. I like the idea of having LP make up an unbreakable P/W, but if it doesn't fill it in when I need it, I'm stuck. I can't memorize a hundred passwords like CzPNX68NPk4ni6a. In an ideal world, using a password manager to create and enter the words would be great, but this is far from ideal.
Opinions?

EDIT: I just looked at my LastPass "Vault," and I have 565 passwords. That's what happens when you spend a lot of time on the computer. I've got to go to those sites and delete most of them.

I have been using Dashlane. I like it for the most part. The only time I have difficulties are when I have separate accounts for the same site. Example: I have a personal and a work account for Dropbox, One Drive and Microsoft. Dashlane tends to get confused with multiple log-ins like this.

KeePass is pretty good. I've been using it for the past ten years or so and the auto-type (Windows version) works pretty well. It can be customized if you need a deeper level of complexity on auto-type features.

It also allows for a passphrase as well as a key. I use the passphrase and key in conjunction with each other for higher security.

Here's the link so you can research to see if it's a good replacement:

I've been using Last Pass for about 10 years. Yeah, there are a few sites that send the correct information to trigger LP to provide the login information. Generally, I go to LP to connect to the site. If the login isn't triggered, there is usually an icon on the right side of the name/password windows. If you right click on those it brings up a LP menu. Click on the Edit button, click for clear text, and copy the password into the login window. It's a tad annoying, but it's a good work around.

Some browsers provide password management.

We have a book.

Luckily IOS has keychain and it remembers passwords across all the devices connected to an Apple account. It also has strong passwords for any site that asks for a login.

Passwords can be a problem especially as we are often forced to change them at regular intervals and I run out of ideas. Yesterday I had to change my bank password so I tried "chicken" that was not acceptable as the password had to contain a capital - strange then that "chickenkiev" wasn't allowed either. I'm stumped.

try "I Like two eat chickens."
"two" is on purpose as most people will use "to".

Seriously though I'd be in trouble if it were not for keychain access on my trusty old macbook. I also have a Word document (password locked) - with some of my access details to sites with password "hints". Macs also suggest very complex passwords which I sometimes accept knowing that the keychain will remember them and I can look them up if needed. Many sites now have the good old "2 factor" security which sends you a OTP (one time passcode) to your mobile phone. Imagine the fun we have when we are here in Melbourne and the OTP is sent to our UK phone number!!!!(and vice versa)

I often substitute numbers for letters that look similar = eg using @ or 0 (zero) for letter O. 5's make good substitutes for S's, 3 for E's etc

Haha - I had one place where my "primary" phone was the house land-line. They kept trying to send text messages to it. MY PRIMARY was the house phone, not my cell phone. Had to change that. Why couldn't they use HOUSE and CELL???

I think in the UK your home phone can take sms messages and some bit of software "reads" the massage. We've had a terrible time here in Melbourne (in lockdown and unable to get back to the UK since May) trying to access a UK bank account when we don't have the uk mobile phone number that the bank has on record so OTP process cannot work. Had to email CEO of bank to get this one sorted (which we did). I understand the security is there to protect us but when we can pass all security questions we are still locked out for lack of OTP verification. Oh joy!
