 I have been using Keepass for a decade now. Then because I started
using Mac OSX and Windows at work, went with KeepassXÂ which works on
all platforms.  I started using Strongbox on my iPhone because it reads
Keepass databases. My database is stored on Dropbox with a unique name
that wont make sense to anyone who gets access to my Dropbox and besides
the DB is encrypted with both a password and a keyfile (a small file
somwhere also on Dropbox with a odd name deep down in some
sub-dirs.     The reason I went with Strongbox is that it has a offline
access mode in read only so on my phone with no net access I still have
my passwords, like when on vacation in Europe. Strongbox does not work
on Windows however, so I keep using Keepass on Windows at work. Keepass,
KeepassX and Strongbox all use the same database.
 Stongbox on a mac is also integrated with the web browsers so you just
type in the strong box password and it inserts your user/pass combo in
the browser, really handy to not have passwords stored in the browser,Â
on Windows Keepass does not integrate so its one extra step but I feel
very secure.
 I like having a password and a keyfile for security, to open the
encrypted DB the app needs both password and the keyfile to open, in my
case the keyfile is a word doc file for a recipe card, so no one would
figure it out that it is important (well there is probably a way, but
bigger fish out there).

My question about remembering the 400 passwords was actually
rhetorical. I too<br>
have a password program that encrypts the db. I only need to
remember it's password. <br>
<br>
The down side of this, is that I can't truely go moble (unless I
use a
laptop with the program and db installed) and do things like log
into all
the sites that require <br>
it. :)Â Â But I can live with that.<br>
<br>
I just hate the fact that I have to have so many. I probably
only
need 10 of them.<br>
