Password manager

[Anonymous]

Which password manager do folks find easy to use and minimal complications? I'm sick of trying to remember the password for everything and what may/may not be the minimum requirements. I want something that is user friendly and won't have me get frustrated within 15 min to just set up the darn thing. I'm not a luddite but I want the instructions to set up something for using on both my phone or my laptop to be fairly straightforward and make sense. Don't have it written by and for someone who is super techy. Make it so easy to set up my 76 yr old mom can do it. I'm okay paying an annual fee if needed.

I've also seen where some companies will search on the dark web and alert you to any breaches. Okay, but then what? Will the password manager automatically update the password for me? I currently get this info via myid and other services provided by the govt when they were hacked and my info was breached, the downside being the alert is usually a few months old (or more). But if one of these managers will update me in real time and then auto fix it for me, that would be great. I'm trying to make my life simpler.

I heard about 1password and then went down a rabbit hole, so now I'm considering Norton Password or Dashlane. Anyone have experience with these?

OP here. Absolutely not. With two data breaches, that's a nonstarter.

I have been using Bitwarden for several months and like it.

Old school here. I bought a password book from Amazon.

I use Notes in my iphone. It's called Constipation Log so people will not want to click on it.
.
My friend's password list is called Gomutra Recipes. You get the idea.

I considered using using a physical book but didn't want to always need that nearby.

1Password is pretty good. I've been using it for a few years.

You seem aware of 1Password, and went down some rabbit hole? What exactly is your worry?

If for you alone, BitWarden is great.

If you want a family cloud password manager (so kids and wife stop asking for D+ password etc) 1Password is a good option.

LastPass hack was egregious

You can also use keychain, it’s in settings passwords on iPhones.

My problem with notes, to copy any text it has to be in edit mode, and it’s way to easy to fat finger it all away.

Yep, it seems less likely that someone will break into my house than they'll break into my computer.
