I switched from Roboform to Keepass a year or two ago. My primary reason for switching was that Keepass worked across all platforms. and as often as I was formatting and reinstalling around that time I’d always have to email Roboform and beg for more activations in order to use a program I paid for!

Keepass was and still is good. I synced my database with Dropbox. My system basically was everything went into Keepass but logins that weren’t a big deal (forums, blogs, Yahoo, etc) had their passwords saved within Firefox’s password manager for easy login. There are a couple of iPhone apps that work with kbd (keepass database) files but the two I tried were a headache to import to.

I’d been reading about Lastpass on Lifehacker for quite a while and decided to give it a try. It imported all my passwords from Firefox and I copied over my few from Keepass. The process was really simple. I like the fact that it works virtually everywhere like Keepass.

I was so impressed by Lastpass ease of use that bought a premium subscription combo (with xMarks) so that I can use it on my iPod Touch.

One of the cooler features was Security Check (Tools > Security Check). I used that to go through all the sites with duplicate passwords and changed them all. Now every account I have uses a random and unique password.

My only issue is export. I’d really like to have a local copy of my password database just in case anything every blows up, lol. I tried exporting to a CSV then importing to Keepass but that didn’t work out. For now I’ll stick the CSV in a TruCrypt volume and be done with it.

Excellent article by the way. You have a new RSS subscriber. :)
