Storing Passwords

[Anonymous Bosch]

How do you keep a keylogger from recording your Master Password? I found this old thread asking the same question and it seems there is no good answer without adding extra steps like authenticating through your Windows user account or adding a Key File. But I don't want to deal with carrying a Key FIle around with me or potentially losing it.

Just store the Key File remotely on a cloud storage service (e.g. on DropBox or Google Drive). That way, there's no need to worry about having to carry it around with you, or potentially losing it. In fact, it's not a bad idea to use a cloud storage provider for the KeePass database, too. To that end, there are several KeePass Plugins that help further integrate synchronization and support for various cloud drive services.

I used to use KeePass exclusively until I started using LastPass, as it also works in Android.

Granted, LastPass does offer a slicker Android app, but you get what you pay for; it is a commercial product after all. While it may be preferable if there were an official Android KeePass app, KeePass2Android (and/or the offline version if connectivity is an issue) is a fully functional Android implementation of KeePass, that provides automatic syncing, with impressive browser and app-integration. Which isn't too shabby for an Open Source app (and there's much to be said in terms of security for going Open Source vs. proprietary).

I use the free version of LastPass, and have for years. There are a few sites that I use the built-in Chrome password manager for so that I can use them on android, but nothing vital, personal, or financial (just a dozen forums and such.)

Then again, my circumstances are different from most. I pretty much never need to access that kind of data or do online shopping when I'm away from home.

Hmm... that is a good idea
