I know a lot of people are saying Bitwarden, but I've been using 1Password for 4 years and Bitwarden just isn't a viable replacment.
1Password looks much more modern and their organizational tools are not present at all in Bitwarden. I can't even sort by date created or modified in Bitwarden.
Not using a password manager is like not having locks on a house. Everyone should have one and if you don't, you're risking a lot of valuable stuff being taken from you.
I've been using Microsoft authenticator for work, and since it was there I also started using it for my personal accounts and passwords as well. It works well enough, never had any issues.
It's a must.
Since i started using KeypassX, My memory just got worse
Absolutely worth it. It's the only way to actually adhere to password best practices.
I use gpg to encrypt my passwords with my public key. Benefit is that adding credentials to a new file doesn't require me to type the master password (password for private key). I trust gpg the most for security.
I use Password Store, which is an Android port of GNU Pass. I sync my passwords with Syncthing, so my passwords never leave my devices.
Yes. 1Password. If and when they fuck up, I'm going self-hosted.
What's wrong with dashlane? Been using it for years, really don't want to take the effort to move to bitwarden or whatever the flavor of the month is...
Keypass is my ninja. I'm never not using a password manager.
I pay for 1Password for families. Everyone except one person uses it. The person who doesn't use it is always getting locked out of his accounts....
I also use 1Password to store what information I've given a website. That's come in handy when I've needed to change my phone number, email, or credit card.
I really like bitwarden personally. Its open source and works pretty well for my needs
Got a lifetime key for Enpass something like a decade ago and it's been as good as I could ever need. I still rely heavily on autofill via Android & Firefox, but I treat Enpass as the backup to the backup, the one with every last password. I'm meticulous about updating it with every account, every updated password, etc. I also manage all of my wife's passwords as a separate vault.
Password Store + OpenKeychain with syncing using git (forgejo) works very well for me
I've been using Safe In Cloud since 2012. I like it a lot.
As the rest of this thread seems to be saying, yeah Bitwarden seems to be the way to go. I've been using it for years and it's way too convenient not to have (not to mention the security benefits).
So apparently I'm alone in using RememBear...
Been using it and I like it 🤷♂️
I use Dashlane and I'm generally happy with it, plus you get a VPN for free.
But so many people use bitwarden it seems. Anyone use both and have a comparison?
I think it's almost necessary. I only have to remember one password now. Bitwarden has apps/extensions on basically any device/browser I've used that integrate well with auto-fill. It was weird not being able to "know" my passwords originally, but it's great not ever having to remember which variant of a password I might have used. Plus, you can easily share some accounts with people easily and it's just seamless (a lot of IoT devices only work with a single account for example).
Self custody is something you need to keep in practice. I use keepassXC everywhere.
I've had enough friends and family members lose access to critical accounts due to things like changing phone numbers, and relying on auto-signin until their cookies get cleared, that I've begun just recommending password managers to everyone.
But alas, most don't listen.
I started with mSecure for a short time, than switched to 1Password.
Lastly, I turned to Bitwarden which is open source too. I used the free version for a while, but then I paid 10$ for the premium version (mainly to support the team).
I tried NordPass, but Bitwarden it is just objectively better and cheaper.
Now all my logins have random password, additionally I have input my DuckDuckGo API Key to generate random alias within Bitwarden.
Started with Bitwarden years ago, then I used 1password for a few months and now I'm using Keepassxc (Keepass2Android on my phone).
And I recommend everyone to use one. Not necessarily Keepass if they are not very tech savy (database synchronization can be a little bit tricky but not hard). Bitwarden was good too but Keepassxc supports adding ssh keys which is a big plus for me.
It is an absolute necessity if you use a computer. If you dont have a password manager your accounts are not secure, unless you can memorize randomized passwords. I personally don't like the idea of my most sensitive file (password database), being on someone elses computer. I use KeePassXC to mitigate this, but if you want cloud sync I recommend Bitwarden.
