Not finding a comparison between Sticky Password Premium and just plain Sticky Password. Perhaps it is in my face just don't see it.
Suggestions for a free, or one-time purchase lifetime license password manager.

Does the requirement of no common words, special characters and limiting number of characters possibly make for a weaker password?

Okay. So it seems the main difference between Premium and Free is support for different platforms and cloud backups. That would not affect me as I only use Windows and I don't want my PWs on my phone. And don't trust the cloud. Thanks for posting that.
That said, $29.99 for a lifetime license might be too hard to pass up.

That's true. But I can only see a very limited distance into the future. One day I might want to sync my PWs to my tablet or phone, for example - or have an easy way to copy my PW database to a second computer, my laptop, for example.
Sadly, I am discovering it takes a long time to test out a PW manager when you are looking to manage 100s of PWs grouped into a dozen or so categories. And oddly, I find I have less time for things now that I am retired than I did when I was working.
A couple issues with Sticky I am not happy about.
First, when I click on the icon to call up my SplashID PW Manager, Sticky has tossed up a popup reminding me my trial copy of Sticky expires in x number of days. Don't like the idea Sticky injected itself into my SplashID PW manager. IMO, it does not need to know what I am clicking on, unless it is its own icon.
Second, when I call up SplashID and enter its master PW, it now takes ~5-6 seconds to load and fill the page of my list of accounts and passwords. It used to "pop" open. At first, I didn't make the connection and thought something else was affecting the performance of SplashID. Then I noticed Sticky's icon was "hidden" (by default, apparently
) in my System/Notification tray.
I exited Sticky using that hidden icon then started SplashID. It popped open as expected. I started Sticky again, and sure enough, SpashID slows down again. Exit Sticky and SplashID's quick performance returns.
So now I have reconfigured Sticky to NOT load with Windows - which should be the default, IMO - and will see how it goes over the next few days.

Because Windows downloads apps via browser, they are more likely to attract malware. I'm not a Mac fanboy, but at least apps come in through the more protected OS.
