Your username. Now that's taking security to the next level. Twin level encryption. Impossible to guess username and passowrd

This is a potential solution... just not a good one.

With Edge supporting extensions (already, or soon) I expect Lastpass to make one available for the browser in the near future.

To those using Lastpass, you can also activate two factor authentication via Google Authenticator. That should give you an additional layer of security besides the Lastpass Master Password.

I work in infosec.

If you don't want to pay for last pass, or are especially paranoid about putting the (encrypted) password DB in the cloud, I recommend KeePass - it's open source, and you can store the password DB locally:

http://keepass.info/

Also, be sure to use a password, not a keyfile - keyfiles are not 5th amendment protected.

KeePass is the best for me. Its kdb file is readable by both mobile and pc, makes it super convenient wherever you change or update your passwords.

The nice thing about KeePass is that, being widely used and open source, there are so many different apps that can access it, so you're able to look around to find the one whose UI you like best.

Is the Keepass Desktop on the app store the same as this? I will be using it on the mac. Also anyway to see the passwords stored through this on my iPhone?

Looking at the linked KeePass website, The apps for iOS and other non-Windows or Linux platforms are all from third parties. I would think that might present challenges for compatibility and synchronization, but since I'm not a KeePass user I'll have to defer to someone who can speak to that with authority.

Excellent advice on this group I must say. I didn't know what to use and right now I am playing with 2-3 different ones to see which one suits me the best ^

Just got Lastpass. Use it on Android devices and desktop. So easy to use. Thanks for everyone's great advice.

I have KeePass but for now, using an old version of 1Password.

Migration is suppose to be easy, just export CSV file out of 1P and import into KP.

But the syncing between desktop and mobile is kind of clumsy, you have to connect through iTunes.

Unless MiniKeyPass app on iOS supports Dropbox or something.
