Password Manager Recommendation

Options
Can anyone recommend a Password Manager? I have tried to install LastPass but, with Vista, it's a fiddly thing to do and I would like something more straightforward.

I mainly would like it for everyday (non-financial) websites.

Thank you.

    If you don't mind paying for one I can recommend Roboform:

    Me too, there are version for most platforms, I use the Android version and it opens the password files from my Windows PC's easily.

    My employer even puts it on our standard work laptops, they have vast IT resources and if it passes their criteria it must be OK!

    Another vote for keepass.

    You can script this as well so it will handle drop down select char 1, 5, 6 things banks are so fond of.

    Thanks all for your help. I've downloaded a free trial version of Roboform to see how I get on with it.

    Bank information stored in my head but can't remember ALL the passwords for EVERYTHING.

    Your assistance much appreciated.

    Lastpass - www.lastpass.com see reviews from computer press at https://lastpass.com/whylastpass_reviews.php

    For basic use it is free but if you use it on mobile phone or tablet device it costs US$12 a year.

    Thank you all for your help. I tried Lastpass initially but, as I have Vista on my main computer, it entailed downloading extra files, etc, which meant the installation became too fiddly.

    The free trial version Roboform installed easily - there's a small charge eventually but am happy with it.
