+1 for Bitwarden. Has plenty of free features and a subscription is cheap.
Same here. Bite arden is great, better than Dashlane and it's FOSS.
FWIW you can use a Yubikey with Bitwarden as another layer of security if you’re using it to store your 2FA/ recovery codes too.
Apple Keychain
My wife uses it manually just opens it on her phone and types everything in.
That works for her. I don’t get it whatever
Bitwarden. 100%
I use Bitwarden.
1password. I’m keeping a close eye on Apple’s own keychain stuff. It sure seems like they’re moving toward a password manager app of sorts. Once that happens, then I’ll probably jump ship from 1password as it’s getting expensive, and I don’t love 1password 8.
Couldn’t agree more with this. 1Password 8 is so bad and frustrating while apples product is looking more and more enticing. Especially with shared passwords.
I've not found that to be the case. It's been bullet proof for me. I plan on sticking with it.
Used Bitwarden for years across various devices. It’s reliable and just works for me.
Raivo looks nice, I've been using authy for a long time. To sync all my authenticators since I used to swap phones often.
Shame its ios only.
Bitwarden is the best bang for buck.
KeepassXC (Strongbox on iOS) + Syncthing to keep database in sync across all devices.
Self hosted Bitwarden
Same. I left 1Password 6 for bitwarden-rs, which is now called Vaultwarden and I couldn’t be happier with the setup. If you go this route, please do not forget to have a proper backup strategy in place.
KeepassXC on desktop and KeePassium on iOS. No vendor/cloud lock in and can pick how you sync the database.
1Password for my personal stuff, but Bitwarden st work. 1Password is a far nice experience imo, even on version 8.
But as someone else said: holding out for Apple to do standalone key chain and would likely switch then.
I currently use Strongbox on macOS and iOS. While it is definitely a product tailored to more advanced users, it is still easy to use IMO, and there's currently no better option for those who want a native Mac app built exclusively for the Mac. There's no proprietary cloud storage like popular commercial password managers (you can use iCloud, OneDrive, Dropbox, WebDAV, transfer over your local network, etc.), and it uses KeePass, so there is no lock in either. Additionally, if you suffer from subscription fatigue, there's an option to purchase a lifetime license. I love it, and would recommend the product to those who are on Apple platforms. It doesn't have all of the features of 1Password just yet, but the developer is very responsive, and it is getting better all of the time.
I switched over from 1Password, as I was not very impressed with the direction they were heading. 1Password 7 is better in every way compared to 1Password 8, IMO. Also, moving from AppKit to Electron for their Mac app was simply not acceptable to me either, and there was no way I was ever going to pay an annual subscription for the "pleasure" of using it. I only ever paid up because of their high quality apps, and when that was no longer the focus, I was out.
Keychain and Bitwarden
1Password since like 1Password 3 days; early adopters family plan right now. I’m not a huge fan of the new 1Password extension on iOS, but on the Mac front, it’s treating me well. I don’t think I’ll jump to Apple native keychain until feature parity is reached.
KeepassXC on desktop, KeepassDX on Android.
Syncthing to keep it in sync
Edit: Just saw what subreddit this was in, i used Strongbox when I used an iPhone
BitWarden and Apple’s keychain. However, passkeys are the future. Once you’ve used one you’ll understand how much worse passwords are.
What websites are using passkeys? I understand MacOS supports them, but I have yet to see an option to use them.
I’m on 1Password from ease of use with work. Wondering if I should switch to Bitwarden to save a few bucks.
Nice try, Mr. Hackerman!
Dashlane.
I switched from lastpass to 1Password shortly after they sold to logmein or whatever. I have lately been eyeing the whole suite offered by https://proton.me
I would entertain the idea of using Apple keychain, but I am really hooked on password sharing with the family. Have not seen a good implementation from Apple yet, but maybe it is on the way (or I missed it!).
Strongbox (KeePass client) on all my devices. Synced via iCloud. Works flawlessly. Supports native password autofill on Mac and iOS, so it works in Safari and everywhere else. No plugins necessary.
A mix of KeePassXC and Keychain (until there's a KeePassXC extension for Safari on macOS)
I was a longtime LastPass user until they nerfed the free accounts (I was a paid account holder, but i disagreed with the change) and have been using Bitwarden since.
Google sheets
I’m using Keeper as it works across devices and has been sanctioned by the government via fedramp. It’s kind of expensive so if someone wants to talk me out of using keeper, please do.
I used to use LastPass, but after last year I have switched over to NordPass. Been mostly happy with them especially for sharing passwords in the family.
