best software for password similar to bento?

I bought new macbook pro and I wanted to download a software similar to Bento (which I use on my older mac only to save my passwords).

There are many of password protection software in the market, I downloaded 1) dashline password manager, 2) Keeper password manager

Unfortunately both are short of being useful!

They are both gives you the facility to put username and password but somehow never thought to put extra fields for security questions you may need to use, sometime if something goes wrong with your accounts or someone tried to hack through your password you are asked these questions from the bank or the providers. Bento does have these extra fields and the extra fields are as protected as the main password.

Can you please help in directing me to the right reasonably priced( or free) software which can match bento (I only want to use it to save passwords, pin numbers & security questions).

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Jassos, have you looked at 1password? It is what I use and recommend. Bento was a personal database program that has been discontinued from Filemaker. I do believe they have a trial period if you download the software from their website (https://agilebits.com ) it is also available on the Mac App Store. It's a great program.

Hi Paul

Does it give you the option to add more than one password (i.e.,security answer) for the same website/ bank..etc?

Thanks

I downloaded the free trial of 1 Password, unfortunately it is similar to the other 2 and not useful when you try to add extra passwords to same title.

Jasso, you can add your own fields. I'm assuming you would need to name the field something like password 2 or some such thing. I also use the secure notes that allow me to type anything I want into it. What item type were you trying to additional passwords to?

for example in some international banking you have to put your username first, then password then memorable date and finally pin code, so I need 3 fields after username. In UK banking such as Nattiest, I have one user name and one password but if made mistake or for whatever reason I needed to reset the password then there will be 3 security questions I need to answer before I can reset the password, so the answers for the 3 security questions will need to be encrypted as well

You can definitely record them in 1password so that they will be available in the application. I'm not sure if you can get them pasted into from the browser extension. But if you just need to store them somewhere secure 1password is for you
