So apparently I'm alone in using RememBear...

Been using it and I like it 🤷‍♂️

I use Dashlane and I'm generally happy with it, plus you get a VPN for free.

But so many people use bitwarden it seems. Anyone use both and have a comparison?

I get 1Pass through work, and the ‘personal’ vault detaches if I ever leave my job. Super useful to have, to the point that using devices where I’m not logged in feels so much worse.

If you don’t use one, then what the hell are you doing?

Also, Bitwarden. Selfhosted

After using one for like 8 years I really don't know how people have the time/energy to make up and remember all their own passwords

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’d say they’re pretty much necessary so you can have unique, complex passwords.

I’m currently test driving Proton’s new password manager, I’ve been using 1Password for ages.

Anyone not using a password manager is shooting themselves in the foot and often time not realizing till its too late. Along with that sign up for a service that notifies you of data breaches, I think bitwarden has one built in (might only be for subscribing members though) and there is always https://haveibeenpwned.com/

I dont use password managers.

I just use a set of random words + random numbers, usually something related to the website, the time period (like major global events), maybe just the mood I'm in when I created the password.

Example: For Lemmy, I might use IslandMazeMouse0216 (I do not use the password btw, never used this before and now never will, don't try hacking me lol)

"Island" because the fediverse is like a bunch of islands, that formed together into one fediverse, "Maze" because this shit is confusing, and "Mouse" because the Lemmy logo looks like a mouse, 0216 because of June 12, the day the protest began, 0612, but reversed, but not reversing the 0, so 0 216.

Now I feel dumb for explaining, but also want to hear opinions.

But you see, it doesn't matter. Most websites have login limits so you can't really brute force the password. I just hate "password managers", if I were getting old, I'll probably just put my passwords inside a Standard Notes note, or just put it in a txt and use 7Z AES256 and upload it to a few cloud services.

For offline passwords, like a Windows Veracrypt encryption password, I use 5-8 random words with 5-7 random numbers and increasing the PIM.

For mobile, I use like 16-25 digits numerical pin, alphanumeric passwords are just too hard to type. I've been experimenting with long alphanumeric password + biometric, or a pin, and honestly idk which is better. I don't want someone accessing my phone while I'm sleeping, I might forget to turn off biometrics before I sleep.

I'm not gonna encourage everyone to do what I do, I am not a security expert, just some dude on the internet, but I just want to share how I deal with passwords. Feel free to criticize any flaws. 😅

Password managers are as important as adblockers in this day and age imo

They are great:

1. Convenience - no more forgot password because of arbitrary condition of having two digits and min. 16 characters etc.
2. Security - when db leaks and somehow the service you registered for wasn't hashing passwords properly, it's just random set of characters instead of combination of email and password you probably use for a lot of other things.

I started with mSecure for a short time, than switched to 1Password.

Lastly, I turned to Bitwarden which is open source too. I used the free version for a while, but then I paid 10$ for the premium version (mainly to support the team).

I tried NordPass, but Bitwarden it is just objectively better and cheaper.

Now all my logins have random password, additionally I have input my DuckDuckGo API Key to generate random alias within Bitwarden.

I've just started using 1Password is there anyway I can copy my passwords from Firefox and Samsung Pass to it automatically?

pass

Keep it simple.

I use dashlane and I want to change. Any ideas on something that can offer the same functionality?

ie awesome with input fields for autocomplete, ability to save documents and with a good android app?
