Password Managers and Generators

Dear Lifehacker, I'm looking for a password manager, after you convinced me I really need to use truly random and unique passwords for every site. My browser is always asking if I want to save my logins. Should I just say yes and use that? Or do I need a dedicated password manager? If so, which password manager is most secure? Help!

If you’re using a password manager and it’s not the cloud-based LastPass, it’s probably KeePass. KeePass is a completely open-source password manager that stores all your sensitive data locally. However, this means that it isn’t quite as well-integrated as other solutions.
