I use Dashlane. It makes things much easier and safer. I use free version, payed for one year, but i did not renew it, as i'm not getting too much advantage from payed version. Basically, you get Sync between your other devices and Dashlane. It works on Android too, so it can sync your passwords with your phone. But, honestly, i did not enjoyed the Android app too much, it does not work as well as the desktop one, so i just copy my passwords manually when i want to use them on Phone.
Automatically update, again, i don't find it necessary, i update them manually.

But as far as the manager goes, as i was saying, makes things much easier. Form filling, auto-fill passwords and usernames, password generator, it's great. Basically, when i fill out forms in order to make accounts, i can fill most parts of the form, like Name, address, e-mail, with one click. I want a strong password for that site, one more click, Dashlane generates an password and stores it for that site. When i need to login over there, open the site, Dashlane will login me automatically without doing anything. Very simple and easy to use.

Don't think i didn't tried others. I did, but i didn't liked none of them more than Dashlane.
Another vote for KeePass here. Open source, secure, full featured, portable... everything you want from a password manager and no bloat. I've been using it myself for so long that I only actually know one of my passwords: the one that unlocks KeePass.
I'll go with KeePass too, have been using it for almost 2 years now, also has an android version if you want to carry the database on your phone/tablet.
I'm using "password12345" everywhere, so I dont need to manage anything.

That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!
I would suggest keepass as well.
It's opensource, platform independent (also available for Android and iOS) and OSI certified.
I made a small javascript webapp which would generate a printable table of a-z columns and a bunch of rows with random characters in the cells based on a master key.
The idea was you could print the table, or just open the thing and generate the table from the master key. This could work as a sort of password generator for you. So gog.com you could just note down or remember the password OldGames so you'd read O1, L2, D3, G4, A5, M6, E7, S8 and have a really random looking password. If you rotate passwords you'd just start from 2 instead of 1 and have a completely different passcode with the same keyword.

The javascript would print your password if you entered keyword and start number, but you'd have to first generate the table from your master pass. And if you printed it....it just got tedious to read. So I ended up going with KeePass instead.
To note, back when i worked for subcontracting where they required you to change your password every 30 days, making new passwords when my 16 character monster password was strong enough was an annoyance. So i ended up using a plugin for Firefox which was something like one password to rule them all or something which i can't seem to find anywhere. Basically you'd have a master password, and you could select a preset or rules for how the passwords were generated, generally what characters and what the length of the password was. Then it would create a encrypted hash using your password. And when you clicked 'next password' it would go through to the next hash that your password would become, still generated from your master password. It also had it using several types of encryption and hashing functions which helped let you customize how it generated the password, which was effectively couldn't be brute forced.
Wow -- this field has definitely exploded since I last checked it. I've been using Roboform for many years and I've been happy with it. I believe it's now $20 a year (used to be $40, but competition drove it down). I can't say it does anything better than the other services -- it just integrates well with my workflow.

Smannesman: KeePass, it's very free and since it's open source there's also a couple of apps for Android.
Indeed. It's also available on a pretty impressive number of platforms and doesn't require you to trust third parties with your data. If you don't trust the developers, you can block the program from accessing the internet and store the database on an encrypted drive.

I use KeePassX on my computer and Keepassdroid on my cell phone. They work great.

I refuse to use Lastpass because the website is badly broken on android, so you're forced to pay for it. It's bullshit and I refuse to pay for the software because they're website isn't properly coded.

This is interesting idea, thank you!
I think the only weak point is limited amount of "start numbers" and common shared secret.
So if a password for "gog.com" leaks, then an attacker could reverse the algorithm if he/she gets access to whole printed table.

Also, its seems one needs to remember a "secret" for each password to decode it into full key. This can be optimized, I think.

Its nice to know that there are also people out there who came to idea that remembering (each of) the passwords themselves is very unreliable and unsecure thing.

As for software, I think it was a mistake move. But YMMV.

Write all your passwords on a .txt file and print it down. Seriously.

This is what I do. Keep it tucked away in my room. No one would ever be crazy enough to search my room for it and it certainly isn't something you can hack.
