All right, for some incomprehensible reason I still don't use a password manager and it's time to start.

What are people's favorites? (And why?)

@fobo I use LastPass because it's convenient and I'm not a particularly vulnerable user. My husband is more security-paranoid than me (with pretty decent reasons given the different jobs) and uses an offline manager that lives on his primary laptop and is backed up on a thumb drive. I forget what it's called but I'd bet it's more secure (and less convenient) than mine.

He's been fine with me using LastPass, though.

@eleanor Thanks! I'm a bit torn between the convenience of LastPass and the security but added complexity of KeePass, but my work is not particularly security-critical.

@fobo I tend not to put CRITICAL passwords into LastPass, I use long-strings I'll remember, but my LastPass is filled with trivial sites like forums. That's my compromise so I really only have to remember my email and banking passwords, and everything else gets stored.
