[clug] Password Managers for Ordinary Older Mortals: Recommendations?

[Chris Barton]

Big fan of LastPass (https://lastpass.com/) personally. Plugins to most
browsers on Linux and apps for mobile devices. For even more security
supports Yubikey (which gets you premium for free) which works really
well. Able to import/export and tightly control mobile access.
