I finally committed myself to getting BitWarden set up, maybe a year ago. I wish I had done it sooner. I use it to generate all my passwords, and I have it installed on my phone and desktop. I love remembering only one password and knowing all my other passwords are secure. For me it's a no-brainer.
I couldn't imagine not using a password manager anymore, so I'd certainly recommend it. At work we use 1Password, and I use NordPass privately. Both are great IMO.
Having a password manager is incredibly useful when someone dies and you need access to their accounts. I think bitwarden and probably others lets you grant emergency access to someone, definitely leaving it in my will.
Ive used 1password since almost the beginning. Cant say I have any complaints at all!
Keepass with key file. I synchronise only the database with cloud servers while the key file stays on my devices and never gets synched. I think that's a good tradeoff for security and convenience.
Yeah I use Lastpass, it's very useful. I'd like to switch to something FOSS and locally encrypted, but honestly I've tried a couple times and never got it working properly, meanwhile Lastpass always works. I hate their blinding white UI lol.
I would not recommend cloud based password manager. We all know what happened to LastPass. But locally encrypted ones are great. I love to use KeePassXC.
I'm probably going to get grilled for this but I've Been using Firefox's Saved passwords, I really don't need anything better.
Does anyone have recommendation for a password manager that works well on both mobile and desktop? I browse with Firefox and while Lockwise is integrated into Firefox now and works fine on desktop, it's kind of 'eh on mobile in my opinion. It "works" but I find it to be fairly clunky and a lot of the time I need to open the Firefox app and just find the password in there and paste it in.
Does any other application work better for transferring passwords made on desktop to mobile more seamlessly? Looking for better detection of the user/pass via app or website.
+1 for bitwarden. I use the desktop app + browser extension + Android app. I have to manually hit the sync button on the android app every so often but other than that it just works.
I also use Firefox on all my devices (PC,Mac, Android), In Android only 6/10 times it will show Search Password in Firefox when I select any login form in the browser or any app. It's kinda annoying. I spent more time in my Mac so I don't consider it a big deal.
Keepass with syncthing is GOAT
KeePassX(C?) both on Windows and Linux. I used the windows version KeePass2 but there was a recent security vulnerability in it so I switched to KeePassX. Maybe it's already patched... auto-type doesn't seem to work in KeePassX on Windows so I might switch back but it's not that critical.
I use KeepassDX, one of the variants of Keepass. I don't know if it's any better or worse than the other variants but it has worked well for me so far.
The advantage is you are hosting your own password database so you aren't reliant on some cloud platform that inevitably gets hacked.
But a cloud platform is arguably more secure and has more resources for security than your personal database. True, you are a much smaller target and less likely to get targeted, but it still stands to reason that you are vulnerable.
I personally use pass, which uses gpg for encryption and can also use git repositories (I use it with my personal gitea instance).
It's kinda ridiculous that no one made better system for credentials, soma of requirements policies are ridiculous.
I would never use cloud services if not hosted on my server.
Keepass with custom sync is best option.
I use pass
which is a frontend for GnuPG
. It's sort of primitive and I had to write user interface for it but it's super flexible. Since every password is saved in encrypted file syncing is easy and we use Git to share company passwords amongst ourselves.
I use the paid version of bitwarden and would recommend it to anyone who can afford the subscription and two yubikeys.
I recommend one. Try to get one without a subscription. I bought the pro version of Enpass before they put up a subscription wall, and I've been riding that one ever since.
