What is an "easy" password manager to use?
And I really do need easy. For some reason these programs baffle me.
I am getting stuff I need downloaded on my Windows 7 computer, switching from Vista on the older one.
On Vista I have been using KeePass, free version, with no problems at all. I downloaded it today on the Win 7, and I can not get it to work..
Does anyone use Last Pass or have an idea of one I might use that is fairly easy? I thought KeePass was easy, but it is not working for me now. Can't get past the master password without an error message.

(88,117 posts)I don't want a program that forces me to use it to access my files. I just want to store them.
I am banging my head trying to figure why KeePass works on Vista and not Win 7, when it is said to be compatible with both.
I guess I will try Last Pass and do what you do...not input the credit card info.
Thanks.

I finally had to get some software because I had so many passwords. It's ridiculous. I keep a backup copy on my external hard drive and on a flash drive.

I'm wondering if there is one you install on your computers but can also share with your phone?!?
Not sure if that makes sense, I hope it does.

(43,049 posts)that holds my secret stuff. It's "saved my life" a number of times. Even once when a new computer was locked and I forgot the password, I got to the file from my phone and all was good.
Dropbox, Evernote, Onedrive... any or all of them should work. Common sense say don't save a file up there called "My Passwords.txt" but it should be safe from prying eyes.
