Started out with lastpass many years ago, until it was bought by logmein. Have been using Bitwarden since.
Keepass. Keepass2Android - can sync via cloud, I have my password file synced via OneDrive.
I do not trust cloud based password managers even if they claim to be E2EE and all other stuffs. I only trust offline password managers like KeePassDX (using it right now) etc.
Bitwarden has literally changed my life.
I am also using 1Password since ages. Using a password manager is a great investment into your security. There are so many data leaks and reusing passwords is bad practice and will create headaches.
I am looking for alternatives though, since 1Password is getting worse.
KeePass synced across all devices with NextCloud. All the advantages of commercial password managers, but free and on your own network.
If you don’t use one, then what the hell are you doing?
Also, Bitwarden. Selfhosted
I'm going to be super original and say Bitwarden. I used LastPass many years ago, but there was a data breach or they dropped the free tier, or something and I followed everyone to Bitwarden.
Not only was it significantly better on Android than LastPass, had a free tier (but even the payed is stupid cheap), but the interface is just so much easier to use.
Just started using bitwarden maybe 3 months after I noticed an uptick in unwarranted 2FA requests, possibly the best decision I've made. Getting used to it took a little while, being used to builtin auto fill features from browsers, etc. But after getting the hang of it, logging in has become a breeze, same with credit cards.
100% recommend. It was a way easier switch than I expected, and I feel much more secure now.
I use Bitwarden.
KeepassXC
Absolutley. You should absolutely use a password manager.
Personally, I use keepass synced via google drive with a yubikey to authenticate.
But, I'm happy if someone is just using the password manager at all.
Use KeePass, sync the passwords with your preferred service (I use Dropbox), then use another method to transfer and save a key file to use together with your master password.
Don’t trust bitwarden unless you selfhost.
Bitwarden all day, every day. Awesome stuff.
Using a password manager was a game changer for me and I recommend it to everyone. I use both Bitwarden and 1Password. I find Bitwarden to run better on Android and 1Password better on iOS. But both are the best password managers in my opinion.
Bitwarden is my chosen service, good pricing point and decent features. In terms of using a password manager, it has definitely made my life demonstrably easier and removes a lot of friction from my online life.
I use bitwarden. I like it a lot, especially because I like to switch between operating systems and web browsers. It works really well for my use case and I do recommend it to friends and family.
it simply is not plausable to remember so many complex passwords and services. i use bitwarden and i just need to remember one password, that's it. can not recommend it enough.
Using Bitwarden for some time now, the Android app doesn't always detect the login fields so i prefer 1Password, but Bitwarden is free.
Not using a password manager (be it digital or simply a paper notebook) is just asking for a breach or getting hacked.
No one can remember the amount and complexity of passwords that are needed to live a secure digital live.
Every service/account you register for years now and couldn't live without it. I've set up a paper notebook for my mother and that works too.
But reusing passwords or using too short or insecure passwords is the number one reason why people get hacked or stuff gets leaked and stolen.
As a side note: a secure password doesn't have to include weird characters. Just make it long. Everything with 32 chars of letters and numbers or longer will be super secure for a while. And because your password manager takes of it, you don't even notice.
I self host a Bitwarden instance.
They are a must in this day and age.
I use Bitwarden, and pay for their premium services. I really like it, it helps me keep track of all of my accounts, I'm able to keep all of my individual account passwords secure and unique, and I'm able to autofill my login credentials on all of my devices.
KeePass user here for.....a long-ass time. Won't use anything else. Official KeePass 2.x on my computers, and KeePass2Android on my phone. The database is synced to my Google Drive, and a strong passphrase plus a key file keeps it nice and secure.
Keepassxc works great with nextcloud sync
I begin to use KeePass and without any browser plugin.
I would NEVER allow to store my password on an online service
Absolutely necessary to have and use. KeePass offline works well for me. Clouds are for rain!
I pay for 1password. Previously I used KeePass and kept the database in my Dropbox folder. I would definitely recommend the 1password family plan. My wife forgot her password and I was able to unlock her account without her losing everything.
I personally use keepass and only sync my database between devices with either syncthing or a flash drive
I’ve been using passwords manager since a few years, but I switched to Bitwarden around Christmas last year after the data breach from LastPass. It’s so much safer than storing them in the browser or on one service that’s not available elsewhere
KeePass with Keepass2Android on my phone with the vault synced via Dropbox. Use biometrics to access both apps. I also use Secure Password Generator on Firefox to get passwords + several options in KeePass (readable passphrase, diceware, etc.)
As other have said: Bitwarden.
Once you taste it, you can't go back.
I don't like to keep any security stuff in "the cloud", written down anywhere, or even on my own devices. It's too easy to lose everything after one security breach.
Instead, I use password algorithms seeded from both the service name/identifier and one or more private passwords. This lets me keep thousands of service/site unique passwords in my head just by memorizing twenty or so words.
I used KeePass for years. Now I switched to BitWarden since it's open source and audited.
