What is best android password keeper?

1Password is pretty good, I would try it out and I believe it has Android support.

Why can't you use Google?

LastPass got hacked again last week, so I would stay away from them. The others are only a matter of time. A password protected Excel file in your OneDrive is probably infinitely more secure based on the security via obscurity model.

I just started using Keeper after the LastPass debacle and I have zero complaints so far. Works perfectly on my Pixel 6 Pro and browser extension.

One interesting thing it does better than any other password manager I've used is walking you through creating a new password for a site that requires you to every 6 months or whatever. Every other solution I've tried is terrible at that, but to be fair, I haven't tried all of them.

I just can never understand the logic of using these services. If you start with the assumption that EVERYTHING will get hacked at some point, then how can it be smart to concentrate all your passwords in one place?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Who assumes EVERYTHING will get hacked at some point?

Even if everything did get hacked at some point, they won't all get hacked at the same time and, therefore, having different complex passwords means the rest of your stuff stays safe. If you use the same password for everything, then multiply your agony by however many different websites you log into regularly, including financial institutions.

You should also always use two-factor authentication. Password gets compromised? Doesn't matter unless they have your phone, have it unlocked, and have access to the app you use for 2FA.

There will always be security risks. Those will never go away. But I feel much better about my assets and personal security knowing I have a really good master password, 2FA, and over a hundred complex passwords I couldn't even tell someone with a gun to my head because I don't know them.

I have been using Keeper Security and it works well with Android.

Is OneDrive and Excel actually more secure? I bet it isn't, much less "infinitely" so. Excel wasn't really made for this purpose and has plenty of known vulnerabilities. If you get malware on your computer, you can easily be compromised.

The password managers use an architecture where the actual password is not accessible to anyone, even them, without the master password. As someone else mentioned that's the main potential weak point and it should be made as strong as possible with 2FA. PMs will generally also be monitoring and alerting for security breaches and other issues, which you won't get with Excel.
