Password Manager Ideas for Iphone/iOS

Introduction:

I use password managers on Windows, Web browsers, and Android.
I wrote this for a friend who wanted some ideas for an app for his new Iphone.
Hence the statement: I haven't used any on iOS. You will need to try some solutions and see what you like.

Google searches to try:


best free iphone password manager app 2013

Lastpass, I use it:

Free on Windows/Mac and any browser, $12/yr on android. I paid the $12.
Easy to use - although sometimes frustrating.
It automatically adds new sites to your data file when you register for a new site. Handy.

Keepass - Good but may not be as easy as you might want.

I use keepass on windows, and android. Sync the data file with dropbox.

I edit the file on windows and open it in android. I don't edit it on android. That way I know where the master file is with no doubts.

A free solution...

I wonder how syncpass for iphone is? I think it is not free.

This is opensource software. A very good attribute.
