How do you store your passwords?

Do you all let your browser store your passwords? Any good reason not to?

I have hundreds of unique passwords for all the various systems and sites and services I use. There is zero chance that I can remember all of those passwords.
Yeah, I'm lucky in that I only have about 20 or so passwords to remember

I set mine as my screen saver so when I leave my computer logged in under the administrator account for longer than 30 minutes (every day) it forces me to login again--which is annoying and everyone here says is pointless (I agree). That way I never forget my password.

Nope, any good reason - well, Lastpass can import them, that kinda tells me that an infection can export them - so.. yeah, no thanks.
of course, I suppose it might be possible for an infection to export an open vault on Lastpass as well, but that would have to be specifically programmed.

I'm with you on that. It seems like every government agency has different requirements, and many of them state that you cannot reuse a password period. I cannot keep 20+ passwords with their crazy and conflicting complexity requirements stashed in my head when I only use them once a month (to keep my account active).
I use LastPass currently. I'm waiting warily for LMI to do something stupid and I'll jump then, but at this point the effort is not worth it.

LastPass user. - Hopefully they don't break it.

Dashlane is way more expensive though. I can buy 3 years of LastPass for 4$ cheaper than a single DashLane year.

I use keepass. I have the database in dropbox and then I have a key file that's stored on each device (including mobile) so it does update all of the time.
It's not the prettiest or most convenient to do it that way but it works.

I wish my personal bank was like that. I used my default password generator setup and I was informed that I can only use letters and numbers, no special characters.....
