We have a service provider for our password securities...the one from BeyondTrust (https://www.beyondtrust.com/solutions/en...anagement/). But for personal use, I also installed lastpass to my desktop and mobile phone. It is free if you'll download it from the web. But for iphone, i had to pay for it.

I heard about that too but their services are more for high-end consumers/business.
