Because I have so very many usernames and passwords, I must use some sort of password database manager.
For sometime now I have been using KeePass<\/a> – an open source password manager.
Though it using it ‘can’ be slightly more onerous than a completely ‘online’ password manager like LastPass, 1Password, Dashlane or the like, it provides for WAY more security by enabling you to ‘own’ the database AND a seed file. And being an IT security guy here is no way I\u2019d put my passwords in the cloud. <\/p>\n

KeePass is technically an offline password manager, but its database can<\/em> be synced between computers with a service like Dropbox, Google Drive or the like.
