Switched from LastPass to 1Password after their ridiculous security breaches and haven't looked back. 1Password also kindly gave me the first year free after sending them my LP invoice.

Used last pass for years until they decided no account sync for free users now I use bitwarden which I find is fantastic.
Have been pleased with 1Password going on 5+ years with a family plan. Bitwarden is also a great consideration. Avoid LastPass.
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.
Using a password manager to keep your passwords safe is a good practice. I’m still a bit hesitant to use the cloud based options. Even though all is encrypted. I use KeePass and OneSafe. Currently looking into the new password manager from Proton to investigate whether that is a good and practical one to use.
Absolutely recommend it to others. It's much safer than reusing passwords, which is what inevitably happens if you don't use one. I use Bitwarden, but KeePass is also good if you want to avoid the cloud. Or you can use a paper notebook, but that's less convenient.
Dang you guys made me feel bad for using Microsoft Authenticator lol.
Another vote for Bitwarden!
I personally use Firefox's built-in password manager and it works great for me. I use Relay to generate email masks and enter in random passwords that are saved and synced across my devices. It's been very helpful!
KeePass
Password managers are much better than using the same password again and again. I use 1Password.
I get 1Pass through work, and the ‘personal’ vault detaches if I ever leave my job. Super useful to have, to the point that using devices where I’m not logged in feels so much worse.
Yep, would totally recommend using one. I started with KeePassXC but switched to BitWarden later coz of simple convenience (sync and all that jazz).
Using no password manager and a different password for every account would be the most secure option but most people (including me) would be too lazy for that. Instead I used to use the same password everywhere, which is obviously very unsafe. I then switched to Bitwarden, where I can just generate a secure password for each account and I can access them all with one password. I still need to remember only one password but it's a lot more secure than using the same one everywhere.
I use pass, its basically pgp with git. Works suprisingly well for such a simple thing
i am happy since years with 1password
They are totally necessary - if you don't use the same passwords across the internet I mean.
How many accounts do you have on the web? I can count at least twenty accounts that I have and use from a variety of services. Keeping different usernames, emails (through alias) and passes in mind is no easy task, so a good password manager is absolutely needed.
People are recommending Bitwarden and I can't say it's bad, truly, it's a really secure and private alternative. Although, in my opinion, keeping a offline safe for your accounts is way better because only you have the absolute control over all the credentials. I use KeePassDX on my PC and phone, synced by Synching, and being loving it for some years still.
I just use the Google password manager so i don't have to put everything in every time i log into an app or a website
I can't imagine not using a password manager. I am a long-time user of 1Password and have been very happy with the service and apps. I recommend it to everyone. Worth every penny and then some IMO.
I have no idea how anyone lives without one, there's really no downside to using one if it's set up properly
Using Bitwarden for password manager, Aegis for 2fa, been working great for me so far.
