+1 for keepass
thanks guys, had a look. I know visuals mean nothing, but it looks a bit dated/dodgy? lol
Does it remember the passwords for Firefox, or is it a database you unlock and copy/paste every time you want to login kind of thing? (only looked around it briefly have to go out -hoping someone can chip in!)

KeePass, there are extensions for browsers which will automatically populate the username / email & password field when you're on the url you've put in the database.

its more than secure enough it uses 256bit encryption and its open source, so anybody can see the source code. Any issues with security would be found and dealt with very quickly
A Bit of both. See the text on auto-typing here: http://keepass.info/help/base/autotype.html

I used to use KeePass, but started using Dashlane recently.
It is really, really good. I love how it keeps a 'credit rating' of security, and will automatically notify you if any of your accounts have been compromised, and so on.

Forgot to mention - Dashlane is a paid for service if you want to automatically sync passwords between devices.
However you can just export the main encrypted database and put it in dropbox. I did that when I used keepass anyway.

I'm a fan of 1password, myself.

What like OpenSSL was?
Been using LastPass for a month now, nice and easy to use. Also has the added bonus of being able to access your logins from anywhere in the world, but you do have the option to activate a whitelist so you can only access them from certain countries so it's more secure.
KeePass is indeed fantastic. Whilst it's not as convenient as something like LastPass, I can't get over what a terrible idea it seems on paper to transmit every single password you have to a remote server, encrypted or not. Just seems like one more thing to worry about, whereas with a completely offline solution like KeePass, you only need to worry about physical access to your system.
If you use single factor (i.e. just a password) then that's probably true. Using two-factor (such as Google Authenticator) makes it much more secure.
Keepass is great for local passwords. I use completely random passwords for all sites. It's easier for me to log in to Lastpass and get my random password that way rather than having to keep my keepass file with me.

P.S. Lastpass's audit is superb as well - showing you if you have the same password for multiple sites and giving you an overall security rating. I also like the fact that it checks your accounts against well known security breaches and advises on that.
