Looking for some advice/feedback on password managers please.
I've got about 25 different passwords to connect to different sites, banks, super, utilities, email addresses, forums, insurance, health fund, etc. etc.
Having previously worked for 20+ years for a global IT Company, we had security drilled into us on a daily basis. I used at least 12 different passwords there for the different systems I had access to, these were changed on a regular basis and you were unable to use a previous iteration of a password for at least 10 iterations. The acceptable password security was that tough that sometimes it would take ten attempts to get one that was acceptable to the system.
As you can imagine it was a nightmare to manage, I used a random password generator and the passwords were then stored on a password manager. This meant that you really only had to remember one password, the problem is I now don't have access to the password manager.
Currently I have my passwords stored in a password protected encrypted file but this creates issues if I'm on a mobile device and need to access it, or the file becomes corrupted.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a password manager? Currently looking at LastPass
Cheers

Yeh I can't help you....... I have one for pretty much everything..... think I've had about 3 max my whole computing life so 30+ years
I don't trust password managers..... probably software designed by the Russian mafia to get your passwords in the first place.
Why can't you access your encrypted file on your mobile device?????

I'm inclined to agree with you, the work one was inhouse.
I can access the encrypted file on mobile but I'm lazy, to much effort required to remember the pwd while I switch screens to enter it. A password manager contains links to what I want to open, really only one Pwd to remember.

KeePass is an open source one I use regularly and recommend to clients.
- Uses a database file stored on your computer where you set a master password just don't forget this.
- Has secure copy functionality and will clear the clipboard after 12 seconds.
- Allows you store the URL's etc.
- It does create random passwords you can use or use one of the many random password generators on the Internet and copy and paste into the password field in the database.
- has a portable edition which doesn't require installation
http://keepass.info/ is the website for it.
