Any users of password managers among the Chatter group? Your experience in setting one up and recommendation?

I've used Dashlane and LastPass in the past, and currently use 1Password. We pay for 1Password, I think it's like $50/year, but it's worth it for ease of use and integration with devices.

I've been using LastPass free for years.

It's not the easiest thing to set-up properly, but the add-on for Firefox is pretty good.  Auto-login can be hit-and-miss, so I set-up a shortcut (alt-p) to auto fill my ID and password.  I let my browser remember the password so it automatically signs into Lastpass when I launch my browser.

Just make sure you write your master password down somewhere.  I've lost it, and if you don't have a cookie saved in your browser you won't be able to recover and have to start all over (and reset all your passwords to the websites you've forgotten).
