Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don't use a password there that you've used anywhere else.

I want to suggest 1Password even though it’s not free (I used bitwarden for many years though). It has its own SSH agent which is a dream.

[-] Belazor@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

The only problem with their SSH agent is, if you store let’s say 6 keys and the server is set to accept a maximum of 5 keys before booting you, and the correct key happens to be key number 6, you can end up being IP banned.

This happened to me on my own server :P

That being said, my experience was using the very first GA release of their SSH Agent, so it’s possible the problem has been sorted by now.

BitWarden is awesome. Been using it since 2 of my colleagues went to work for them

How is this better than Firefox built-in password manager?

[-] Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Firefox is extremely easy to get your password from behind the *** if it autofills. Requires physical access, but literally takes seconds. Right click the field, inspect and change the field type from password to text.

So if my passwords are behind fingerprint there's no problem?

[-] Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

On mobile I'm assuming. I personally don't know a way to bypass the fingerprint locks. And if you're also having Firefox create random difficult passwords, its significantly better than reusing the same one. So you're probably a much harder target than the majority of people. I'd have to double check but I think even on desktop if you have a master password for Firefox and don't just have logins auto filled you're probably good there too.

Thank you. I do use master password on everything. This does ease my mind a bit.
