Best Password Manager for Android? Technology

[Steve]

My head is wrecked having to constantly change login passwords when I use my android phone and tablet. I need a password manager that will update across android devices.

I changed from iOS devices recently and all my passwords are a mess.

I am hoping for a free one. I feel that the review websites are not exactly impartial.

Recommendations?

I need to research this myself. I am increasingly moving to using random passwords with a new one for each login. Need one with Android support and a Chrome plug-in. Right now I am relying on the browsers' password storage.

My first thought but I have not used it so am reluctant to recommend it. Another admin on the board I run has it and is happy. She's a retired IT security consultant so should know what she is doing.

We had been using LastPass on our mobiles and computers but it seems like a data breach occurred last month. We received an email from LastPass and also this article confirms that extent of the hack.

LastPass confirms users' password vaults were stolen by hackers

Passwords contained in the vaults remain encrypted, but cybercriminals may use brute-force techniques to access them.

What you need to know​

• LastPass says that customers' password vaults have ended up in the hands of cybercriminals.
• The hackers used information they obtained from a previous incident that LastPass disclosed last August.
• Master passwords remain secure and LastPass says it will take millions of years for hackers to guess them.

The security breach revealed by LastPass in August is worse than previously thought. LastPass has confirmed that cybercriminals used information obtained from the previous incident to obtain encrypted password vaults and other customer data.

According to the latest update (opens in new tab) from the password manager, hackers were able to "copy a backup of customer vault data from the encrypted storage container," which contained both unencrypted data like URLs and encrypted data fields like website usernames and passwords, secure notes, and form-filled data.

LastPass said in August that while hackers gained access to parts of its development environment, no customer data was compromised. A few months later, the company revealed that "certain elements" of customer data were actually affected by the security incident.

BitWarden is the best one, in my opinion. It's completely open source and no security leaks to this day. And it's free.
