Password Manager

raptor1956:
I just upgraded my phone to the Samsung S20+ after 5.6 years with the Samsung Note 4 and rather than copy all the crap I had on the old phone over I'm trying to pare things down a bit.  With the old phone I had a password manager which should probably remain nameless for security reasons but at some point the ability to backup the database to Dropbox was borked and I've been living with the possibility of losing all my passwords if the phone were lost or stolen or just died so I decided to upgrade to a new password manager and that's what I'm here to ask about.

Could I get some feedback on the best options for, ideally, a 100% free app to properly handle passwords in a secure way that would also permit, ideally, the installation of apps on my Android phone as well as my Windows 10 PC's.  This would best be done using a cloud based database so that several systems could use the same encrypted database and also have the added security so that if my phone was lost or stolen or died I would not lose everything.

I use Keepass 2 (https://keepass.info/) since a couple of years now and am very happy with it.
Runs on nearly every plattform.
Highly recommended.
Daixiwen:
I use the open source Bitwarden which I can highly recommend too.
It has apps for every platform and save your passwords on the cloud, either Bitwarden's or your own server.

I ended up writing my own, since I wanted something that is hosted locally and is web based.  Could not find anything premade.  It's not fancy and probably not military grade secure but since it's local, if someone gains access to it I have bigger problems to worry about such as someone breaking into my house or compromising my network.

The nice thing though is I can access my passwords from any device/machine as long as I have access to my network.
rdl:
The number of passwords I need to remember is pretty small, less than twenty, so I use a piece of paper and a Sharpie marker.
