Does it make a difference if the password manager is cloud-based? I've used Roboform in the past on my computers and usb-sticks with it, but the latest version is cloud-based and so I haven't coughed up the money to upgrade yet. Should the fact it is cloud based be any cause for concern, assuming I have a strong master password?<br>

Using a password manager (1password, lastpass, or similar) with a very<br>
strong passphrase as the master password is what I use personally, and<br>
it's actually more convenient than using the same password every time.<br>
1password will generate a completely random password for you for<br>
every website, and it will also handle valuing the text fields and<br>
attempting login for you if you configure it right.<br>
<br>
1Password also supports Dropbox so you can have backups and system<br>
independence built in.<br>
<br>
You'd think there would be an elegant solution, but in practice if you<br>
control the passwords and accounts yourself it's not so bad.<br>
