Password Manager

Hi,

Currently I've been using Password Manager XP as I have an old licence for it - it's actually pretty good but I don't want to spend more money on upgrading it to the latest version so that it supports new web browsers.

What I'd like is:

Intergrated into IE9 (i.e. right click and fill field)
Mobile IOS application

Is there anything out there that's good and cheap and fulfills the above? I don't mind paying for it - I just want to pay once though rather than annually.

Thanks guys.

I'll have a look at them.

No I don't keep banking details in them.

I'm talking about keeping a file on my own PC which is encrypted via a master password (20+ characters long) and then transferring the file to a phone which is PIN protected and also requires the master password to open.

I'm not on about putting it in the cloud.

Some of the encryption is 8192 bit as well. Coupled with a master password of over 20 characters I think it's going to take more than a few hours even for super computers to crack.

Windows is so easy to crack (unless the disk is encrypted) it's untrue - once you've passed Windows login then Chrome / Firefox / etc. is pointless. There's also many tools that can export from them as well.

I'm trialling a couple of them at the moment - Sticky Password I've found quite good. I'm going to look at Lastpassword / Keepass and 1password later to find a good fit for me.

If you don't have an up to date phone, then as Azza suggested, a portable USB stick is a great solution as you can encrypt the stick as well (with a different password) then, should you loose it, you have a two-factor solution.

Testing Sticky Password at the moment and you have to manually export the databbase then sync it with your phone (again manually) so you have nothing in the cloud - which is just what I wanted.
