xWhiplash Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hello everyone, I hope this is the right area to post this. What are your recommendations on a password manager? I have used LastPass in the past, but I would be more comfortable having the password database stored locally. I have been looking at 1Password, does anybody have their thoughts on it? Thanks.

+LogicalApex MVC Posted April 21, 2014 MVC Share Posted April 21, 2014 KeePass is what I use. Fantastic and local. medium_pimpin, Gerowen, +theblazingangel and 2 others 5 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xWhiplash Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yeah I just feel more comfortable having the database locally. I will only keep it on my desktop. So if somebody breaks in my house and steals my desktop, I have other problems :P Is KeePass on OS X as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will also run on OS X Natively via Mono. http://keepass.info/download.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AStaUK Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I use 1Password and it is great, there is a major update for PC (v4) in beta at the mo, OSX is already v4. Buying the PC licence now will give you the upgrade for free. You can store the db locally but you lose the ability to sync with multiple devices, although you can sync 1P with iCloud if you wish. One feature I do like on LastPass which isn't in 1P at the moment is the ability to see when a site has been hacked, +BudMan posted a screenshot of it in another thread not that I can find it now. I made a feature request for it to be added with 1P and it's something they are keen to look into but no time frame I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacer Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I use a pen and paper. Works flawlessly and it's unhackable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Andrew Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 LastPass is what I've been using for two years now. Syncs in the cloud, but all data is encrypted locally, so even if the cloud service is hacked, all the bad guys get is a random blob of data. If you're a mobile user, even better on Android as it now offers filling Apps as well as browser based items. Very strong encryption, cross browser, cross platform, wonderful program.

Skyfrog Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'll throw in another vote for KeePass. I've been using it for a few years now and it works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Majesticmerc MVC Posted April 21, 2014 MVC Share Posted April 21, 2014 Another vote for Keepass. I'm using it on Windows, Linux (via Mono) and Android. Works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerowen Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I use KeePass on Linux, works great and has a built in password generator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
