I finally exported all of my passwords from Firefox and Google, then deleted all of the passwords from both accounts. Also turned off their password saving options.

Dumped the exported data into my KeePass database (synced between all of devices via syncthing - works very well) and have been slowly going through it, sorting entries not already in KeePass into their respective folders within the database (I've used KeePass since high school, I have a system 😅), deleting duplicates, and changing insecure passwords/adding 2FA as I come across them.

After everything was imported to KeePass and backed up, I filled the CSVs with random numbers and saved them, a few times, then permanently deleted them. No version history either.

Use keepassxc, bitwarden became proprietary a while ago, I ain't letting my password manager do a lastpass and make me a vic of crippling identity fraud

That's not even true.

bitwarden became proprietary a while ago

I'm interested in hearing more about this. I recall there being a mixup in packaging and people asked a bunch of questions about licensing. But as far as I can tell the client and server code is still available as open source (under various licenses) and the repos are frequently updated.

This is an honest question, I promise. I haven't found anything that points to regular users being pushed to anything proprietary, and no new discussions since late 2024.

Afaik they pushed code that belonged to them and might not entirely be legal to compile yourself due to the code having a different licence. I believe they have 2 things now: the code is still open source, but a part of it is not free to use. The code can still be compiled by using different libraries and I think they support both but it was hard to understand so I don't really know.

Also the affected code wasn't on a super important feature iirc

I might be completely wrong though

It was an accidental fuckup on their end that they fixed

Well I invented a story then haha

Iirc it's about what it looked like at first, they just didn't intent to (at least officially. Who knows if they just reverted due to the outcry)

Get a password manager! I stopped memorizing passwords ages ago.

mfw I forget the master password and need a hacker to hack me

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

… Physically back up your passwords too.

Every password in your manager should be written in a little book somewhere in case of exactly that. Keep it with your birth certificate and other important documents.

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

A PHYSICAL PASSWORD BACK UP????? Are you CRAZY??? What if someone gets ahold of my passwords? Just like that, unencrypted? I don't live alone. There's people around me that could find said passwords and access said accounts!!!!

You might wanna hide it like this

All of my passwords?! Thought I only had one 😅

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Same until I fell for a phishing link made by my friend.

Yea it was mostly meant as a joke, I do use a password manager and individual passwords for everything. My fiancé on the other hand, shes a lost cause, even though I did the complete setup for her she refuses to use it as it requires her to do something different (but I my opinion easier) than just typing the same password everywhere.
