Password manager for different devices

marisAna

Is there a password manager which I could use with a Windows laptop, Mac air, and android phone? I have been using the portable KeePass on a USB stick with the Windows laptop and then with Dropbox on the phone, but would like to now use it with a mac as well. Looked a bit confusing when I googled it but would the KeePassX be what I need? Don't mind changing from KeePass if it works easily across all of these.
Thanks.

Lastpass is what you need.

That did seem to be the one that was being recommended. Will have another look at it.
Thank you.

Free version works fine for web browsers, you need to pay for mobile / tablet integration.

Yes I think it may be worth paying to use it on phone easily too, but may start with the free version and see how I get on. It looks like a good option.

If I google "keepass mac", then the second hit leads to this

Edit: Ok the "Official KeePass 2.x for Mac OS X Website" doesn't seem to work, so you have to use the link to the file further down and follow the instructions below.

I have Lastpass and Roboform, but I prefer Roboform (and there are usually deals/ codes available to make it cheaper). Works on iPad, Android, Mac, Windows.

I started with the free version and then got a deal for 1 year free when I was about to upgrade.

I will happily pay for it when the renewal time comes. After all, it only costs $12/year.

Before that, I used to do something else to save the money and it kind of worked:
1. Every now and then, save/export all your passwords from the Free LastPass account into a text document.
2. Upload the document to Dropbox(if you don't have an account, you can get 2 gb for free forever)
3. Copy and paste the passwords every time you need them.

This might not be ideal but if you only need your passwords occasionally, it can get the job done.

I had a look at the KeePass for mac link. So I need to ignore the first bit and then download the link underneath for the zip file and then also the app. zip package? I wasn't sure when I first looked at the page which bit was outdated. Would this work on the android phone in Dropbox like the windows version?
Looked at Roboform but thought I read it had a max of about 15 entries.
Have been checking out LastPass. Done the Windows one and ready to do the mac one and think I need LastPasspocket for the phone.
Thanks all.

These instructions are really helpful as I think this will work fine for me.

I don't have a Mac, so I can't really help you with that. I use Keepass with Ubuntu on several PC's and Laptops and my Android Phone. I sync with Owncloud and can't see why it shouldn't work with Dropbox.
