Ask HN: Best password manager(s) for mere mortals?

4 points by majewsky 7y ago ↗ HN

One thing that a lot of regular people are missing in their security setup is password managers, so I'd like to spread the word e.g. among my family. What should I recommend to them, esp. for use on Windows/Mac? I'm on Linux and use my own password management scheme, so I don't know what to recommend.

I've used 1Password, Dashlane, and LastPass. I am currently using LastPass and would suggest checking it out.

1Password is good but not free.

Keepass. At the moment I am using passhole in terminal, Tusk extension in Chrome and Keepass2Android on Android. All synced via Google Drive.

The apps I use have changed over time but it is still the same database and all apps I use have open source code published on Github.
