I know there are services like 1Password, KeePass, Lastpass, Dashlane, RoboForm, SplashID, Passpack, mSecure, MyLOK+, Password Genie, PasswordWallet and you can find much more alternatives for example here: <a href="http://alternativeto.net/software/lastpass/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;alternativeto.net&#x2F;software&#x2F;lastpass&#x2F;</a> and LifeHacker has for example an article about this topic: <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5944969/which-password-manager-is-the-most-secure" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lifehacker.com&#x2F;5944969&#x2F;which-password-manager-is-the-...</a><p>But is there a password service which is working similar to Evernote, but which is safer? I want to make secure notes of passwords in Evernote style.<p>And Wade Roush of Xconomy has made a interesting quick overview, he listed also Clipperz (you can pay with Bitcoin), PasswordBox and PasswordGenie:<p><a href="http://www.xconomy.com/national/2013/06/28/passwordbox-unbreakable-passwords-that-you-dont-have-to-remember/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.xconomy.com&#x2F;national&#x2F;2013&#x2F;06&#x2F;28&#x2F;passwordbox-unbre...</a><p>Finally here is a interesting aspect which I just found here in the comments of a Dashlane review: Quote: &quot;David Pogue (NYT) raved about Dashlane, too, so I took the plunge. Immediate problem was that my login information wound up permanently entered in one of my credit card sites; it was an auto-login I could not disable. So if someone DID steal my laptop, it would be a happy time for him. Trashing Dashlane had no effect; I had to do a force quit of the Dashlane agent using Activity Monitor, then trash it and other attendant files. So many of these password managers, including the incredibly wonderful 1Password that everyone swoons over, imbed themselves so deeply into browsers and other functions that I don&#x27;t trust them. I will stick with Password Wallet, which sits isolated off to the side and doesn&#x27;t try to do too much. I understand it and am less likely to make mistakes.&quot;<p>source: <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/2043301/review-dashlane-is-a-robust-password-manager-with-a-gorgeous-interface.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pcworld.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;2043301&#x2F;review-dashlane-is-a-...</a>

Depending on what you are planning to do. If you want to store your browser passwords, you should look up services like 1Password. If you want to store your passwords for everything else and don&#x27;t need automated fill-ins, I would recommend a Truecrypt container with a text- or excel file in it. You can store it wherever you like (S3, Dropbox, etc.) as long as you decide to use a strong password or keyfiles.
