KeePassX.

Though it's a pain in the ass to use sometimes when you have a different password for every thing in the world, it just feels better than using something like Lastpass which is actually super convenient but I don't trust an in-browser password manager.

Bad thing is that it more or less makes it impossible for me to log into anything if I'm not using my normal devices, which is rare, but it is what it is I guess.

I learned my lesson years ago when some website database that had my information in it was leaked and I had several accounts hacked. You think Twitter is going to help you? Try regaining access to an account when the email address associated with it has also been compromised. It's a nightmare, and in the end, I gave up.

I was trying to remember this, thanks! And about not using normal devices, it makes almost everything harder, but it's the price for having security :/ Kinda sucks, but i think it's worth it. I would like to know how to check if my username:password has been leaked, just in case, but for what I remember, never happened to me.

Second on this; I too prefer to have one program for one purpose, and browsing the Internet and keeping my passwords safe aren't one.

Plus KeePassX has a nice extension for Firefox.

I literally did not know this. I've been ctrl+c ctrl+v'ing for years.

Hmm. I trust KeePassX more than I do things like LastPass. I may have to give that a trial run and see if it completely alters my internet life or if copy/pasting all day isn't so bad.
