password managers

Are they worth getting? How easy are they to deploy and keep up?

Is Dashlane any good? Got decent reviews.

I bought and have been using Roboform forever. Their business model has changed recently so I'm not sure they have a free version now but I think they do. It integrates with most browsers which is a plus. Most browsers also have their own method of password storage or an add-on like cj mentions so that's what I would use now if I didn't have Roboform.
I know I would be one of those seniors they show on the tv news who just had their bank accounts emptied by a hacker if I didn't have a password manager.

My password manager.

********

********

Done. That is all I use. And if a company wants me to change, I flip back and forth between the two longer ones.

While password managers in the cloud are convenient, I'm a little paranoid about using them, as in -

So I use KeePass on my laptop. Lots to like about it.

I can recommend Keepass.
Not a huge fan of cloud based services. That said, I'm also on linux which i'd recommend to everyone that they switch over if they're using Windows 10.
