Windows 10: Good Password Managers

A year or so ago I spent some time looking at password managers. Mostly Dashlane, Lastpass and Bitwarden. I tossed Bitwarden because of some of the things it didn't do well (which I cannot recall what any more), and got down to Lastpass and Dashlane. Wife preferred Dashlane by a tiny margin so that's what we went with.

Dashlane is getting rid of their desktop component and forcing everything into browsers, AND of greater concern, there's no way to export anything but the passwords except in THEIR encrypted format. So they're making it VERY difficult to move elsewhere. And, of course, their support is pretty dreadful. So, it's time to move to a different, HOPEFULLY better, tool.
We've got a bunch of passwords, a bunch of secure notes, financial stuff, software licenses, activation codes and sundry things, none of which are accessible for export, so I'm going to have to pull the data manually. I'll then drop it in a spreadsheet and set the headers for whatever we move to and import as needed.

This is going to be like the backup thing and the antivirus/anti-malware thing - Ease of use, convenience, robustness, reasonable cost, extremely effective... Which tools are the best fit for ordinary users? I have HEARD that Lastpass CAN ALSO handle usernames and passwords for LOCAL applications like Adobe Creative Cloud, but I've never actually had anybody confirm this absolutely. I've also hear THEIR support is as atrocious as Dashlane's...

So, who's the best fit?

I looking for a good password manager. I used to use RoboForm but you have to pay for that every year. im looking for a good free one or a cheap one that you only have to pay once. thanks for any help

 

Long boot time and passwords missing

The only reason I mention the account is that a Windows update recently was causing people to be signed into a temporary account, your password manager may be installed for all users but the list of passwords would be user specific, therefore the blank password list suggests a different account. *Smile
