I might as well throw in my 2¢

I use KeePass across a range of devices, including my phone and laptop. I keep the dictionary synced with Syncthing.

I use it regularly to generate new passwords for websites, refreshing old website passwords (hello Heartbleed!) and logging into existing accounts. I also lock down the security questions so they can't be guessed. I'm now logged out of most services by default, especially banking, and the dictionary auto-locks after a short time.

Once I accepted a small price of inconvenience in setup and use, it has a positive impact. Now I remember only one password and updates are kept in sync across all my stuff.
