The one that's pre installed on your Mac called Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities
If you are using Safari, go to Safari > Preferences then select the Passwords tab. Select: AutoFill user names and passwords
When you visit a website and enter your login data and password Safari will prompt you to save that to a new keychain. That data is safely stored on the hard drive. Never share your Mac's admin password.
Better to not store your personal data with online password management as those sites can be hacked > LastPass was hacked: Here's what you have to do | Macworld
After having numerous problems with Keychain and not being able token all of the personal information I wanted to keep, I decided to switch to !Password. I really like how it is able to sync the encrypted database it uses between all of my devices.
Thank you very much. I am leaning toward 1Password. Other thoughts?
I'm happy with LastPass. Works on my iPhone, Mac, iPad and Windows PC as well. $12 per year for the premium version on unlimited devices. https://lastpass.com/

The headline of that article is scary but the details are reassuring. They have been under significant attack twice in the years I have been with them and both times generated a lot of headlines but no actual usable access to user passwords or data. I've studied both attacks (out of self-interest wondering if I should continue with them) and am more comfortable after than before. I'm happy -- but not everyone is comfortable with online storage and that's OK too.
