Ask HN: Best Password Manager?
Hello all! What with the recent Gawker slip up, it seems as if password related security is on all of our minds. I feel like I am finally being prompted to step up my game and use a real password manager with strong, random passwords for each site that I visit. I know I should have been doing this all along, but what can I say?
Features that I am interested in:
* Android/iOS app so I can access my sites on-the-go.
* OSX/Linux/Windows support.
* Preferably Free and Open Source, if possible.
1password? KeePass? LastPass? What do you use?
- spooneybarger 16y agoI use One Password and love it. There is an iOS version. Android in beta. OSX and Windows versions and the windows version can be used via Wine on Linux but has no browser integration there.
- AlexMuir 16y agoLastpass serves me well. I've started using the password generator after the gawker incident.
- pwg 16y agoPassword Gorilla (https://github.com/zdia/gorilla/wiki https://github.com/zdia/gorilla/wiki). It runs on OSX/Linux/Windows, the password database is compatible across OSX/Linux/Windows, it is open source and free software. All that is missing is Android/iOS support, but if a Tcl environment were to be brought up on either, the Password Gorilla should work there just as well.

- kertap 16y agoI've been using 1password on my mac, but I'm not using it's full capabilities yet. To use it with the iPhone do you sync your passwords using Dropbox or anything?
