I held off on using a password manager for a long time. I used an open source one for my buisness for a while but almost lost the file in a computer failure, lucky I had a backup.... . somewhere.

After that I looked at a cloud option and finally settled on one, then the business died down and I kept using it for my personal stuff. I can't believe I didn't use one earlier. Life is so much easier now, no need to go between my bad password, Medium, and strong. Everything just gets a random password now and no need to worry about a string of 2fa messages hitting my phone when a password gets pwned.

Self hosting one isn't difficult and allowz you to maintain a high level of security

For convenience, yes. I can't come up with and remember a different password for each different website.

[–] Bannanable@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I use one on desktop. For me as pong as the passwords are stored locally or at least end to end encrypted if stored online, then its secure enough. Assuming that the master password is secure.

I think having to use a different password for each website but struggling to remember it is determinant to the centralization of the internet, but have an anecdote as well:

Trying to send a Marshall Rosenberg video to a homeless I've sent him my health coverage instead. I immediately changed it and nothing else happened. It only took me a few minutes.

Used Dashlane for years. Works great on PC, android, macs. Comes with VPN which i rarely use but nice to have when needed.

Yea, if you want any kind of security for your online accounts it's a absolute must! I use Bitwarden, it's free, open source and easy to use with clients for all debices you might own but for more technical users Keepass is also a great opzion with even more clients available
