Best password app?!

I don't know if this covers all your needs but I like Lasspass for my Android phone and my PC.

I have looked into LastPass, it does look pretty good. I wish I could find out whether it remembers passphrases and/or credit cards.

For example, I use DuckDuckGo for my web searching. DDG requires a passphrase to pick up your custom search settings, it's pretty cool. I would need a password manager that could remember the passphrase.

Although I've read many great things about LastPass, I'm a little concerned that it might be on the very top of a hackers list of things-to-do. I would imagine it's kind of a big target :dontknow:

Lasspass can generate random passwords or you can roll your own password or passphrase. It also will store credit card info and personal information like addresses, etc.

I don't know if this covers all your needs but I like Lasspass for my Android phone and my PC.

LassPass or LastPass? I'm confused.. is that misspelled or a nickname for LastPass!? :bebored:

Something I've actually looked into is mSecure. I just emailed these guys and their support answered promptly and gave thorough answers to my questions. For a 10$ app, I am hoping to get what I plan on paying for.

Has anyone tried a paid password service? I would like to hear some opinions on these. There's gotta be something about the paid apps that make them worthwhile.

I use B-Folders. Syncs to your desktop PC. I'm very pleased with it.

Only thing is I'm not sure if or how it might integrate with Google Chrome. It has it's own browser built in on android app and desktop app. Desktop app is real useful, and costs $30. Android app is free, but doesn't do you much good without the desktop app. The two synchronize device to PC without using the cloud. I'd highly recommend giving it a look.

I haven't checked too many, but have settled on KeePass. There is a version for Android, iPad/iPod, and PC. So I share the same KeePass file between my and wife's computers and devices and we have one file for the dozens of passwords, log-in names, and other confidential info. KeePass is setup to store name, password, and any freeform text. I keep the serial numbers for software in there too.

How do you sync that file so that if you change a password and update that information on keepass on your phone, it updates on your wife's phone/laptop as well? We have dropbox installed on everything, so can I save that file to the cloud for seemless updates across all platforms? I know it says that Keepass was dropbox friendly but I never have tried to use that function, nor do I understand how I would go about setting it up in KeePass.

Hi! Try using Clipperz. Clipperz is a free, Web-based, open-source password management service that also lets you download a read-only copy of the application and your password data.It works with any computer capable of running Firefox, Chrome or any other browser that supports JavaScript -- including my iPad running Safari. It also offers a version of the Clipperz Web site that's optimized for mobile phones and other devices with small screens.Clipperz stores the offline copy of your password data as an encrypted HTML document. The local copy doesn't update automatically, so if you want to keep your offline copy up-to-date you will need to download a fresh one each time you update your database. It saves to a different date-based filename (e.g., clipperz_20100915.html) each day you use it; I purposefully overwrote the same file name each time so that I could open the file using the same Firefox bookmarkOnce you've set up an account, you can open either the online password vault or the local copy of your data using your user name and master password.Like RoboForm and LastPass, Clipperz initially encrypts password data locally, on your computer, before uploading it to the cloud. Once you set up an account, you can import data (Clipperz supports five formats, including Excel and CSV) or enter your account credentials manually.
