Password manager for multiple computers? [closed]

If you are already using a password manager, you could combine that with a cloud service like dropbox, or mesh. Just make sure that you can save the profile of your password manager inside a folder that is synced by the cloud service and all your other connected computers will get the updates!


I have a very simple way of dealing with passwords:

I don't like password managers, but I like crypto, so I take advantage of one-way hashes (md5, sha1, etc) and generate passwords using them.

How it works?

First, I choose a good long password that I will use everywhere. For example qwerty (don’t use that, just an example). Now for every site, your password will be the md5 (or sha1) of qwerty + site name. For example:

$ echo “qwerty http://www.facebook.com” | md5
9d7d9b30592fd43dd6629ef5c12c6e9a

$ echo “qwerty http://www.twitter.com” | md5
cdf0e74e19836efb20f29120884b988d

That way my password for facebook is 9d7d9b30592fd43dd6629ef5c12c6e9a and for twitter is: cdf0e74e19836efb20f29120884b988d

Both long and secure. If someone steals my twitter password he has no way to reverse back to figure out the other passwords. Plus, doing that you don’t need any password software stored (just the md5/sha1 binaries which come by default on Linux and are easy to find on Windows).


Lastpass is another good alternative.


Something like Keepass on a USB drive that you always have available might be a workable solution as well.


I recommend KeePass: Keepass.info

The latest version has built in sync option so you can setup a local ftp server or a network share and use keepass. Network share might be simpler as keepass implements its on file locking mechanism so it will tell you if someone else is using the password database. It also has many ports so you can even put it on ur mobiled phone, home computer (ftp sync), etc..
