.... and in the suggestion of substituting two for to is also weak.
"I Like two eat chickens." - 213 septillion years
"I Like 2 eat chickens." - 768 sextillion years
"ILiketoeatchickens." - 118 quadrillion years
"ILike2eatchickens." - 18 quadrillion years
Either would work for me before a computer figures it out.
But one would have to also have good characters to go with the to/two/2.

I use Roboform for over 500 passwords. It works well on my Windows desktop, but it's not handy on my iPhone because it doesn't show up when I have a login so I have to leave the login page, go to Roboform, find the web site with the password, tell it I want to "edit", then I copy the password and have to return to the original site and try to paste it in. Many times it won't paste.

I'll 3rd Keepass.
Very easy to use. Been using it for many years. It has very strong encryption security, much more than I'll ever need or use. I keep the encrypted database sync'd on dropbox so that I can access it from all my pc's, mac and phones. The database is encrypted locally so only the encrypted database is moved outside your local machine. It's open-source so the code can be tested and verified. Its also portable for those with that need. It has auto-type features which make auto logon for most webpages automatic.

It’s normal if you spend a lot of time on the internet.

Plus if you include your wife and any other family members passwords for sites they visit and you don't..I have 157 on my Norton and 230 on the True Key that I no longer use. That one had one of my sons and daughter in laws passwords on it as well...

I have the app on my iPhone and it works just fine. It logs me into the website and fills the password. Do you have RoboForm Everywhere?

No!
We only have about 145, and many are hardly used.

I, too, have been using LastPass for several years and have no complaints.
I particularly like the fact that LP stores everything on their servers where they are secure and you can access them from anywhere.

I was judging from my inability to login to one of my banking sites. It works on my desktop, but if I try to login with the same URL on the iPhone, it will not show the login forms. But their mobile app logs me in via face recognition. This is a peculiarity of this bank, I guess. I tried your suggestion and it works for other sites. Yes I do have Roboform Everywhere and it's all synched.

I may have difficulty with my bank too with the app on my iPhone. I deleted that from RoboForm, logged in again and that solved the issue. I have contacted tech support. They have remedied a few issues.

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.
Follow standard English usage. Capitalize the capital. And wipe that smirk off your face.
