I have a small notebook I keep at home with all passwords. If I travel I throw it in my laptop bag. For sites I sometimes want to access away from home I have a few of them stored in the "notes" section of my smartphone. I don't like aps because then you have all your passwords held by a third party and they WILL be hacked eventually. That's why I like mSecure, you can choose whether to use cloud storage/sharing or just to keep all the data locally on your phone - I do the latter. Same with eWallet, which is why dh choose it. The main storage is on our desktop and when you want to sync with a mobile device, both have to be on the same network. There is an option to use a secure Dropbox, but we have never used that option.

I just spoke to Apple. Why? Because I know Keychain does something with passwords. Golly.....geee.....it saves them. It also syncs them across my laptop, iPad and iPhone. So without spending more money or typing again they are saved. I love Apple! CeeScraps I have brought this back up because I was wondering if you have used the Keychain thing? I started to, then I saw searched and saw this post and went to try it. When I go to set up a new entry, I can't find a way to save it. I tried on my phone and iPad, both currently updated. Have you had any better luck than me? Looking forward to your answer. I was using My Eyes Only and it crashed with the ios11 update. They have fixed it, but now I need to find a new place to put my stuffs!

When I type in a password the computer asks if I want to save it. I tell it yes. Then the next time I'm on that site it will ask if I want to have it fill in. I then click yes....it's done.
You can see what you've already saved.... Top right corner click the magnifying glass TYPE: Keychain PRESS: Return
The application will open up.
Left side of the window: CLICK: Passwords TOP RIGHT: within search box type what site you wonder if you've saved the password....you could type 2Peas Refugees
Your site will appear in the box. DBL CLICK: on the site that appeared (the info for the site will appear) BOTTOM LEFT: CLICK: the box that says show password
I use either a desktop or laptop computer for the internet. I haven't tried with my iPad or Phone.
You could also call Apple for help! 1/800/275-2273

Sorry, I just got back to this link. It is an application that is on your Mac computer. Look at my post above and it will give you the steps on how to find it.

CeeScraps Ok! So I can’t just go to it in settings and add my passwords from a list. I will be prompted when I log in to an individual website. Thank you for that awesome explanation!

I was watching this thread because I too have been searching for an app. After reading through this I went and did some research. I found this comparison in case anyone is interested.
