I use KeePass as well. It works great for me. I can generate great passwords. It has lots of bells and whistles, some I use, some not. You'll need to try different ones, I think, to find a good fit. Good luck.

I use excel to record passwords and then set up a vertical lookup to find them easily. All stored on a thumb drive stored in a safe but easily accessible place.


Good idea!! Thanks

I’ve used Dashlane for years and been very happy with it. It syncs across Windows 10 and my Apple devices seamlessly. It’s not free but the security it provides I feel justifies the cost.
Yesterday they sent me a reminder never to use Facebook to log into a web site, but go through the process of signing in and setting up an individual password. This is especially relevant of course following the FB security issues.

Dashlane works on most platforms including smart phone, iMac (which I use), iPad, etc. However, the version which covers multiple devices ("premium" version) does have a license fee. I would not use it or any other password manager on a mobile device though because if that device is stolen the password manager then provides automatic login for thief to access sites you have set up for automatic Dashlane login. However, on my at home iMac Dashlane works great to provide high security auto login to a lot of sites. Only one I don't use it on for repeated access is my online banking site in part because when I got Dashlane a couple of years ago it didn't handle the 3 step login process but later I decided I'd rather always manually enter login stuff for that site anyway. Dashlane does have very nice dash board showing all sites you use it for and you can selectively see the password it has generated for a particular site as well as any sites you may have redundant passwords for.

I've been using 1Password for years and have it sync'd with my phone.
It is not free.

I have no idea how you have got yours set up, but Dashlane is not available to anyone who might steal my phone unless they either have my unique password to access it or they have fingerprints identical to mine. What you describe is not how Dashlane Premium works.

I use last pass. It's free for PCs, iMac, but there is a one time fee for other household appliances. I'm not sure which ones.

Typically the free versions will not synchronize among devices. The most popular are 1Password and Dashlane. I use Dashlane.


I also use Dashlane. After using the free version for a while I decided to pay for the Premium version and have been using that for a few years now. It syncs across my Mac, iPad and iPhone and I am very happy with it.

LastPass works well. The desktop version is free. The mobile version that will sync with all your devices is $12/year.
