Method for password file on laptop

KeePass was what we used at work, moved on to LastPass after that, was supposed to be better but I think I'm a bit too oldskool! I preferred KeePass

I have only ever used Lastpass, without which I'd be lost. I have everything from passwords/login info to safety lock codes to passport and DL images to images of my credit and debit cards to travel insurance policies etc etc etc in there. I like their Family and Emergency access feature, and that it works seamlessly across browsers and several operating systems.0

Lastpass. I tried a couple of others but I liked the way it was portable across devices when I was first looking.

Currently I make a pwd and then modulo 2 reverse encode the numbers in that pwd. The other chars are as is so if I forget i can go to my file but have to do the calculation. Can be done in the head. I've looked at keepass but how does it work for a bank which requires several fields. It seems to me the 2FA is sufficient for a bank which is where access to finances is crucial and well protected.

I have just started using last pass. How safe are these online methods though? Can we trust the company itself?
Also, so many log ins require additional info that last pass cannot store so it is not a complete solution0 -
I am satisfied that Lastpass are as safe as you could wish any digital password store to be. If you require more login automation than Lastpass offers, you could have a look at RoboForm but I don't think there is any application that can handle the requirements of all the websites and apps out there. Automatic login becomes less and less of a 'thing', anyway, with two-factor authentication becoming more prevalent.VXman said:I have just started using last pass.
