So I was wondering what does /g/ think about password managers such as lastpass or 1password? I never really cared much about them but recently I started reading about it and was wondering if anyone here is using it, have used it before? Are they good, is it worth to get the paid versions, etc?

You're just handing your passwords to the N (S) A.

Ok, so I assume it's not a good option then?

Just use a goddamn paper to note all your passwords. If you live with a family, just hide it in the best spot you can think of.

Unrecoverable single point of failure. Sounds brilliant to me.
Passwords are for access control, they're not encryption keys. You don't need to make them into encryption keys.
My ATM PIN is 4 digits. A computer can run all 10,000 possibilities in a microsecond. Does this mean my account is pwned? No, since an ATM machine will eat the card after 3 wrong tries.
A password only needs to be good enough that it's unlikely to be stumbled upon before their tries run out.
Password strength is not likely to help much if their DB has been breached and the accounts are open to offline attack.

I use lastpass solely for the convenience of autologin and shit like that, I couldn't care less about security

I think the point of a password manager is not so much using strong passwords (though you may as well), but to use many passwords - ideally a different one for every site you use. If you're using the same password for everything, then all it takes is for the MLP forum you frequent to get hacked and bam, they have full access to your life - no guessing required.

You don't need a password manager to not use the same account name and password on every account.

True, and honestly I just use a text file. But I can see how a cloud-based password manager could be more convenient.

Then you dont need lastpass...the browser password manager will do all the auto-login stuff
