Has anyone ever considered using Keepass?
I have used it for 10 years now without any problems.
The program and data is stored on a flashdrive, there is a master password to open files and you can then drag and drop your user encrypted name and password into the password box.
Nothing stored in the cloud and its FREE.
Of course you will need a backup on a seperate flashdrive stored in a safe place.

I'll just wait to do anything until Bob writes an article titled:

"Here's the END of Passwords"

PS: I am certain that I will not hand over all my "weak" passwords to anybody.

Try NORTON password generator. It works and will sign in to banking sites thru Norton identity safe.

Mark comments that Enpass keeps my passwords encrypted on my computer, and not on their server.

He also comments that Enpass can automatically send a new password to a destination website such as my bank.

The inference of the first statement is that Enpass' has no record of my passwords.

But if the program can send my password to the bank, how can I verify that it does not send the same information to Enpass?

@MmeMoxie - Straight from Bitdefender's website:
"This issue occurs when a web browser is accessing a website that has a security certificate installed (for SSL/TLS data encryption) which cannot be verified or installed by the web browser.
To solve this issue, we recommend you to temporarily turn off the Scan SSL feature in Bitdefender as follows:
1. Bring up the main Bitdefender interface.
2. Click on Modules in the bottom left corner.
3. Choose Web Protection from the Protection tab.
4. Use the switch to temporarily turn off Scan SSL feature.
Now close the Bitdefender window and try to access the webpage again."

I have used Mask Me now taken over by Blur but still using original for some 13 years. Can sync it and easy for reinstall etc. Never had a problem getting into any site including bank.
So will stick with it.

However I do have a problem Bob may know about but no answer I've found - now and then my pc starts to type backwards.

Samantha,
PC starts to type backwards?
Don't worry there are support groups for it, or you could view your PC through a mirror.
Sorry,had to say this.

I thought LastPass sucked up your password and changed it to a random password of its choosing. What am I missing?

I had endless trouble saving pw's in Dashlane free pw manager, the next time I logged into a site the pw would be rejected, so I was endlessly making pw's which again were rejected on the next login, until I twigged that Dashlane free saved the pw but only stored about 16 of 20 digit pw's which I had saved so the next time I logged in they were bound to be "wrong password" it does sometimes give up offering to save pw's I also wonder if it's Chrome at fault

Here's my easy password generating scheme I've used for years. I've got 5 pages of passwords that I update in excel.
If I misplace my print out, or someone were to get my list - they wouldn't be able to figure out any password.
I use my past home street names and a two digit address of an old address.
Of course, if you've only lived at one address, you'd be limited to your passwords.
But instead of using past addresses, you can use past schools, past jobs, past wives, past cars, etc.
A written coded password would look like this : Born Home + 1st Home + 2nd Home Number.
Or, 3rd Home + Where Worked + 2nd Home Number.
Works foe me. Happy with Sticky Password.

Been using keepass for a whole bunch of years and it has never let me down. I have a bit of an issue if I'm on my admin account because I don't know how to share access to the database across accounts, but that's a MS (or user knowledge) issue, not keepass.

I understand that LastPass will work on desktops and mobile phones. What about accounts that are accessed on streaming devices, such as Netflix on an Amazon Fire?
