Password Madness!

I can't take it anymore. Managing all the passwords required these days is making me crazy.

I have been somewhat leery of cloud type storage given privacy concerns and such, but at this point I need something that will keep my passwords and make them available on any of my 4 windows seven pc's, my android phone and my android tablet.

I noticed RoboForm on a recent RVnet tech thread and looked into it a bit. If I understand the listed pricing correctly it would cost $20.00 per year for me and another $20 for my wife (if she chooses to use it)? (after intro $9 first year pricing). I would not keep my banking password on robo.

https://www.roboform.com/php/pums/rfprepay.php?lic=default_altāŒ©=en

And with this type of subscription the data would be stored on the cloud and available to all my devices?

Any other password programs I should look into?

Thanks

    sure is hetic keeping up with all of them...

    Never did find an easy way to manage all of that...

    Keep everything on a thumbdrive is probably the safest way to do it...

    I have an older XP-PRO setup for my Radio OPS Control Console that is not on the internet that I can access through a PIP session here on my main monitor setup. I can get to that pretty easy to find the right password I need to use...

    I probably have around 30 or so different passwords for things over the years still active...

    I'm using KeePass. It's free and so far I'm happy with it. Most of my passwords I don't know any longer. I just copy and paste the password from keepass directly to the program I'm entering. Keepass will also open up the logon screen to the program you want to enter. I don't have experience with working on 4ea different computers but don't see why it would not work.

    Oh. I thought you were talking about the password game, we play it all the time while camping. The old board game from the late 60's......so never mind.

    I've used mSecure for years. You do have to pay but only once (per platform if you want to share android to apple, etc.)

    I don't know where you use your RV, but I won't use any cloud storage because of unreliable connections to get to the cloud storage. Let's say you have your pictures stored in the cloud. After being out for the day taking pictures and you want to work on them but then remember you're a long ways from any cellular service, what do you do? What if you're water heater is having problems and you have the manual stored out in the cloud instead of your PC hard drive? Storing things in the cloud will also increase your data usage.
