First World Problems ....

[Sue]

I appear to have passwords for 241 different purposes (I just had an urge to count them).

Some of which clearly are not in frequent use.

And some of them I can't remember what the hell they are, they are so obscurely coded in my records. :))

Surely soon somebody will come up with some better way?? Voice and/or fingerprint recognition straight into your phone or whatever??

ETA: Just to make it clear, in case you think I'm completely stupid (as if) they are not 241 different passwords, although obviously they are not all the same either :))

you can already get fingerprint recognition on iphones (i don't use that option though), so probably other phone makes already do this ?

That's one you can tick-off..

I use KeePass, with the datafile sitting on my OneDrive (i.e. the cloud drive that comes with your Outlook/Hotmail account). I have the program on my laptop and my android phone, both using the OneDrive file. Control-U tells the browser to open up the right page, Control-V auto fills in the login/password. All with military grade encryption.

Works a treat and is free. And I know exactly where my passwords are stored (unlike LastPass).

I looked at Keepass but the autofill bit looked like more of an arse on the face of it, just enough to put me off. Have they improved this now?

Works fine for me. If the login/password aren't on consecutive lines you have to edit the autotype section, but it's really not difficult. But I've had it for about 2 years now and it's not changed in that time, so whatever you didn't like before may still be there.

The other good thing is you can have multiple files and you can put documents in there, so I have a separate Keepass file that holds copies of pass-ports safely.

I liked the look of LastPass, but trusting a cloud provider with my every single password was too risky for me.

I thought there might be an issue with Keepass in that it stayed unlocked until you closed it, but I found a timeout setting, so it now locks itself up again after x minutes of non-use.
