Password Manager

[Brains]

In this day and age the number of passwords, log ins, web addresses, numbers, door codes, account codes, etc. that we all are supposed to to remember is beyond what is possible.

Which means the more convoluted and awkward the access code is made, means it has to be written down which thereby negates all the security entirely, however that is not today's issue.

I have a, not very secret, place where all my codes are stored, it now contains well over 150 entries, which of course is ridiculous, but I use them all day every day, so I need a single place to put them electronically as I cut/paste them back and forth. I can access them from home, on the phone, at work, and if needed halfway up a mountain with no phone signal or Wi-Fi

I'm looking for an 'password manager' App, iPhone and PC compatible
The spec is:

• Easy to access, on the phone via fingerprint, on the home or office PC via a simple password (say max 4 chars)
• Fast upload, sub 10 seconds (I can get a PIN number from current set up faster than a PIN machine can connect)
  
• Simple to cut/paste in and out
• No need for 24/7 Wi-Fi/internet access
  
• If updated in one place will update the others (when connected)
  
• With a search feature

Basically something like password protected Word or Excel would do, or even Access or Notes
It does not have to be ultra secure, but I want to ensure that if someone logged onto my phone or PC they could not open the app without another password

Any ideas or recommendations ?

I remember mine, but without a smartphone my exposure to needless passwords for apps is less than the norm.

Your name is Brains. Why are you asking us? I'll get me coat.

Agreed, it is a PITA.

I am another LastPass user - very happy, although for a lot of sites I also let Chrome remember my passwords, obviously anything financial I don't.

Keepass. Will synchronise via the cloud storage of your choice.

LastPass here.

I would guess the danger of using a Word document is you leaving it open inadvertently (easy to do on a smartphone), because the unopened document itself would be secure.

I use one called EnPass - which seems to work well. I think it does all the things you have mentioned.

I use oneSafe on my ipad. I got the free version first and i liked it so paid £4 for the ad free version. You have a wallet for credit cards etc. There are sections for documents, internet sites and computer. You can add a image and all sites are stored alphabetically. Four number unlock.
