I just visited the KeePassX site for information. I was disappointed, but not for expected reasons. I noticed a number of grammatical and spelling errors on their Features page, which leads me to ask: If they re that sloppy with details and inaccurate with English on an important page of their own, are their details trustworthy when it comes to the functionality of their app? For example: dublication ? Don t they mean duplication ? Extremly instead of extremely . On their home page: KeePassX saves many different information Don t they mean KeePassX saves many different TYPES OF information ? I realize that this probably sounds like petty quibbling but, first impressions do count. And, if they screw up on the simple and important details, why should I trust them on the complicated and important details? If their own home page(s) are not professional, why should I trust that their product is?

I only trust open source software that has been analyzed multiple times, when it comes to such important things like passwords. So KeePass and KeePass-based password managers are the only software I use for passwords. In addition, it'll always be free. And, even though integrated Cloud Backups/Sync may provide more usability, I think it is better to keep these things on your local devices. However, Syncing your password database across devices using technology like WebDAV or Syncthing is an alternative when using KeePass. It even provides more security, as the Databse is still opened locally and no passwords are sent to a server, which happens in some other password managers. Sure, they are secured using Hashes, but it is still a potential security hole, like we have recently seen with Twitter's Hash issue where passwords could have been stolen.

I've only used Roboform and was using it before they created their cloud-synched version Roboform Everywhere. I can't imagine going back. I don't know if the other password managers do this, but Roboform also does auto-formfilling, which is a great help on shopping sites. I choose my identity (or my wife's, etc) and the credit card to use and it fills everything. It also stores ad-hoc notes, which go into their safenotes database. Everything's encrypted with the master key. I use it on Android too.

No one truly interested in security should ever use fingerprint scanners, or any form of biometrics for that matter, they are easy to trick, and the police can compel your fingerprint and others, thanks to the 5th amendment is the United States giving a password is considered incriminating testimony, which you can't be forced to give, even with a warrant in many cases. The courts are split on the issue, but it is much more difficult for anyone to compromise a good password, biometrics are easy.

Actually I'd just like to know how to add passwords to Firefox saved logons which is where a good deal of my passwords are stored. Some are in Chrome others are somewhere in gmail still more hidden in documents on a USB but the most important ones are committed to memory - WHAT A MESS! Just email accounts alone, each with a different username: yahoo, gmail, outlook, yandex, zoho...

Lastpass is great. It can use your browser's stored password to log into every account, and then generate a unique password and change it for each account. It's as simple as tell it to change all your passwords and it goes into autopilot, logging into every account and changing the password and storing it on the cloud. Just sit back in your chair and watch the show it provides.

lastpass has a huge bug in wich its keep dissapearing information from the custom form fields, and this has been going on for years, there are topics about this that date back to 2016 and this still isn't fixed today... i can't understand why no one is talking about that... that's a huge bug for a password managing service

I downloaded the Sticky Free one which is saying that after 30 days, it's 29.95/year. They seem pretty insistent that it's not really free, asking for your Google account. I just want to make sure I'm not setting myself up for something I can't afford. I'd really appreciate a reply!!! Thank you very much!!!

Isn't it dangerous to store all your passwords behind ONE master password [the password manager's master password]? If you don't use a password manager, hackers would have to hack all the passwords of all your accounts. But if you use a password manager, they need only to hack/learn that one password.

I made the mistake of upgrading to 1Password 7, what an embarrassing nightmare they created. And LastPass doesn't have a onetime charge for any of their versions which sucks plus I prefer one that is not web-based because it has my life on there and if this company is ever breached it's game-over.
