I use keepass 2 with a self hosted nas for the main flle .

I couldn't live without one these days. I personally use Bitwarden. I have tried most of the other manager suggested in this thread. They each their own benefits. I would recommend one of the hosted services for most people (1password, Bitwarden, not LastPass). I came to prefer Bitwarden for their combination of features and openness. I have self hosted it in the past, but these days just use their hosted service.

There are a lot of side benefits to using one besides just remembering your usernames and passwords for you too.

• It lets you use catch-all emails if you have your own email domain
  • allows you to give services their own address to track abuse
  • makes you more resistant to someone taking your leaked credentials from one site and using it for another
  • easier spam filtering
• Most password managers support random password generation
• Saving things that aren't logins
  • Family member's SSNs and DL numbers
  • Credit cards
  • Wifi passwords
  • Gate codes
• Sharing always up to date passwords and other secrets with people (for hosted options)
• 2FA is easier

I absolutely use one and regret I didn't use one earlier. I remember so often how I had to reset my passwords for different sites. Now every password I super complex because I don't have to remember it.

Butwarden. Always Bitwarden. Just like almost everyone else in here it seems like.

1Password for years, never had any issues.

KeePass. Putting your passwords on someone else's webserver is just asking for trouble.

If you are not using a password manager you are doing it wrong.

I've used Dashlane for a few years now and I can't say there are any issues with it at all.
I used to just use a list stored in Google Keep, "encrypted" in such a way that only I knew what the passwords were. That got really old.

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.

I used to use Bitwarden and it's a great App but you need to export your saved password list frequently somewhere safe just in case.

I now use Safe In Cloud, the backup can be restored from their servers.

Afaik, the backups encrypted and Safe In Cloud have no access anyway, check out the Playstore reviews for more details.

I use 1Password because I got my wife to use it. The paid plan is worth it just for the fact that she also uses it. If it was just myself, I would probably self-host Bitwarden.

I use Chrome password manager. Is there any difference to this vs. Bitwarden or other services? Chrome is super convenient since it suggests passwords in browser while signing up and auto-inputs them to apps/websites cross platform. And also integrates with GBoard to quickly search password to copy into a field.

Not sure if Bitwarden has any additional features other than the benefit of not keeping all my info with Google. Or if it's less convenient and I have to go into the Bitwarden app or something everytime to look up or generate passwords?

Keepass + Syncthing awesome combination

I just completed a study of Enterprise password management and move my company from LastPass to BitWarden.

1password was a close second.

Started with LastPass many years ago - but has changed to 1Password just last week.

Bitwarden and Dashlane were close contenders, but I found that 1Password's sharing feature was better in my usage scenarios.

It’s 1Password for me. Looks good, works good and is available for every platform that I use.

For work I use KeepasXC and Bitwarden+Vaultwarden as well.

Using a sheet of paper right now, am in the process of switching to a self-written password manager. It uses Vigenere encryption using a key that is not saved anywhere (that I have to remember) and saves to a .dat file. Should I use my own tool or a service?

Definitely recommend using one. Don't have a preference for any particular one, I use Google's for simplicity sake. But unless you have a complicated system that allows you to have different passwords for every online service (or maybe if you have a great memory) it's simply more secure to use a password manager. Most sites have emails as logins, and if you reuse the same email/password combination you're just asking for trouble for when one day one of those sites get hacked, your password is sold, and someone spams your combo across all popular services and somehow ends up in your bank.

I use Bitwarden with some trepidation. I keep hoping that eventually Proton Pass morphs into something that seems even more secure but right now it's pretty basic.

Used last pass for years until they decided no account sync for free users now I use bitwarden which I find is fantastic.

I've used password managers for as long as I've used the internet. I find it absolutely essential.

If you're not currently using one, it's likely that as the number of your login credentials increase, bad habits will increase. So it's probably better to use a password manager any way.

If you're using good, separate password, saving logins in the browser might work for you too. In that case I'd suggest you read up on the security your browser provides, ability to sync, migrate etc.

I used Bitwarden, I just signed up for pro last month. I like that it’s cross platform and there’s a web app too I believe.

I'm not going to say whether it's the best or not because I have not compared, but I have used Keepass2Android for years which seemlessly integrates with my cloud storage and key files (stored offline), has useful randomized password generation, and is overall unobtrusive

it is has become so much easier to manage my password after I started to use bitwarden it is just convenient

Does a sheet of paper count as a password manager?

I personally moved to Bitwarden from 1Password due to the cost, and I believe for an average user, Bitwarden is definitely the way to go as it is very value-friendly (at $10 USD/year), and it is open-sourced unlike many other proprietary password managers. 1Password may get more features, however it being $3.99 USD/month, many users don't need the extra security features and I strongly believe that common sense is the best security for any user.

I haven't heard anyone mention Google password manager, which is the one I started using recently. I assume very few people trust it because... Google?

I use pen and paper... yup.
