The easiest one is whatever's built in (e.g. the "Passwords" app on an iPhone or "remember my password" in a web browser).

Personally, I use KeePass (which is free), but when I've tried to get family members onto it they've gone back to Excel.

I use the one that comes with Opera. You can have multiple logins for the same site. It also prefills name, email, postal address, credit card etc.

I’m with Hobnob - the password manager on apple devices and KeePass on Microsoft ones.

looked at keepass, - too complex for non-techies I think.
I need a setup once and go stylee, simple, basic win10 PM.
thanks anyway.

I'm using Last pass, which is indeed simple to set up and use for one user. The problem is that if you follow it's model of generating nonsense passwords for every site and then letting it keep track of them and automatically fill in, then you have to use last pass every time. If you want to access a site from your phone, you have to install last pass on your phone and that's not included in the free version.

Being lazy, I use the one built into Firefox. I then sync my Firefox settings across my PCs and mobile phone. Only works for websites, of course.

I know you said 'free', but I use 1password, which whilst it's not free, isn't exactly expensive. It syncs across all my devices and unlike Keepass hasn't (yet) been compromised - at least as far as I know.

Lastpass is good for one device and the IT illiterate.

I use keepass.

As far as compromised goes, do you mean this? https://thehackernews.com/2023/05/ke...ackers-to.html

Fixed in 2.54. And prior to that your computer would have to be heavily compromised already.

lastpass is no different to all the rest AFAICS.
I don't want SES* to be involved, and there are no 'smart' devices involved, so no sync required.
just two machines on a home wifi LAN.

*Someone Else's Server aka 'cloud' or 'some other bulltulip'.

thanks anyway, i think i'll give up.
everything today seems to be designed for the people who happily give all their personal tulip to the big corporates for free.
