Good Password Manager (iPhone)
 
I'm looking for a good and not-too-hard-to-use password manager.

Ideally an iPhone app that will generate and store unique passwords for my various online logins, and sync with my Mac and with my wife's iPhone.

Suggestions?

Here is, btw, an interesting article on the current state of password cracking. You should already know that companies (LinkedIn, etc) are sloppy in hashing and storing your password, so you can assume some of your password hashes are stolen every year.

My Eyes Only. Works very well.

I would use Password Safe, basically because I already have it on everything I use, and my passwords are already in it :) there's a port to iPhone and U3 as well as most other things. Password Safe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It was originally written by Bruce Schneier at Counterpane Systems.

Both Windows and Android versions work very well; unfortunately, the native Linux version is, uh, very "experimental". But the native Win32 .exe works perfectly under Wine, as do the only two other 'Doze programs I care about.


I also use KeePass (or KeePassX) for some work stuff (that's what they chose), which seems to have comparable support for different platforms; the Win32 version - at least - works fine.

I use Quick Password Manager. I recommend it highly!. I got it for free, but I believe it is now 99 cents. It allows import/export and will auto-generate passwords if you'd like.

Let's say you lose your iPhone. And let's say you don't have a screen password on the phone. Could an App like For My Eyes Only be compromised? I.e. are you comfortable storing your online Banking passwords in an app like this?

Thanks,

JA
