I also use passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/. Began with Keepass about 5 years ago, but I needed to restore twice, and the second time failed. Switched to PasswordSafe. Now when I upgrade PasswordSafe, I reinstall and restore from the backup. It either works or it doesn't. Been using PasswordSafe for about 3 years, upgraded more than three times.

I use Passwordsafe and Truecrypt works well too.

I LOVE LastPass! Used to use Roboform but I like LastPass better. I wish it worked in Chrome.

Another alternative is http://www.passwordspro.com/

PasswordsPro let you have your passwords saved in crypted files but also
permit to store ascii notes on the same file.

It run also on a pendrive without installation (On machines with Windows operating system).

Hey, nice review and post. But don't forget one of the best password managers Sticky Password www.stickypassword.com which I use for years and those guys keep up very good work and product for a reasonable price.

How is Mitto, and online password manager (http://mitto.com) not listed here? It’s one of the easiest to use.

I spraypainted my paypal password on a bridge over the highway that I commute on. It’s in plain sight but obviously no one knows its my password

I dont trust any program to store the passwords to my bank and paypal accounts, every encryption can be broken.
You’d probably be better off writing it on a piece of paper and hiding that, since that way at least its not machine readable or connected to the internet

Just chiming in a few words here for Passpack… the online version is worth taking a look at because it’s got some amazing collaborative tools that are unique only to Passpack and here are a few:

No other password manager offers users a place to organize, protect and even share passwords all in one application. And it’s free : )

Keypass on a USB stick drive is your best solution.
As the program itself is password protected and then it generates all unique passwords for each item with many encryption options. Being able to have it portable and also unplugged unless needed keeps it totally secure.

LastPass definitely takes the cake in my opinion. Easiest to use, cross browser, cross platform, and it literally “just works”. Bravo.

LastPass has a native Safari version now too for mac users, and full Google Chrome support is less than a week away (we already support it via bookmarklets).

No mention of TK8 Safe? It has to be one of the best ones out there for Windows, especially for only $19.95. Has multiple categories stores notes, files, passwords, password generator, Has run and autotype features that work very well. I was really surprised not to see it on the list.

Keepass Portable is my choice. Keeping password database inside a truecrypt volume

1Password also allows you to generate unique keys according to parameters you specify — number of characters, inclusion of numbers, caps, lowercase, etc.

My web team has a common DropBox shared folder with KeePass portable in it. We use it to store all details like Remote Desktop info, SQL Server passwords and web-app logins. The portable version runs on any of the machines we use (Windows & Mac).

I also have my own personal KeePass database stored in DropBox, and backed up to a USB drive every now and again.

Both of these have quickly become very useful and I can’t remember how I managed without them!

You didn’t mention one of the first browsers (if not the first) with such ability: Opera.
Opera has a built-in password manager many years now.

Furthermore there are many utilities for Windows Mobile (SPB Wallet) that sync between the desktop and the mobile.

What’s wrong with the built in firefox passwords manager? Combined with xMarks, which you can use to sync it with other computers, works perfectly fine

1Password V3 also creates an HTML version of itself using the Agile Keychain format, allowing the use of DropBox or other solution to get access to your passwords from anywhere. All password protected of course :)

with best regards,
Karn.

That’s really interesting article. I got many new ways. I am mostly using Robo Form but found some more interesting tools from this post. Thanks,

Wouldn’t be better to use a solution that generates unique keys for a certain simple password at your choice, like this: http://www.juna-safe.com/
