Used Dashlane for a few years, but the lack of support for hardware keys made me switch to Keeper. Not sure hos happy I am with Keeper. Might have a look at others like Bitwarden when the subscription is about the end.

I could not recommend getting a password manager enough

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.

Absolutely recommend it to others. It's much safer than reusing passwords, which is what inevitably happens if you don't use one. I use Bitwarden, but KeePass is also good if you want to avoid the cloud. Or you can use a paper notebook, but that's less convenient.

I also use Bitwarden. I would recommend it to anyone who can benefit from a cloud-based password manager because the basic functionality is free and the more advanced features (premium, family) are very affordable.

Using Bitwarden safely will make your digital life safer, but it will most likely be more complicated than it is now. You will need to:

• Use a randomly generated password for the master password, which is unintuitive but increases your safety
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for all of your accounts that offer it.
• Make an encrypted backup of your Bitwarden vault.
• Create an emergency sheet with your master password, 2FA recovery key, and other important information.
• Plan for what will happen to your passwords if you become sick or die.

You can think about increasing your safety/convenience step by step by keeping a book of password (which can be lost, so has to be kept secure and probably make backup) with

1. Random password/passphrase generator
2. Yubikey + recovery numbers
3. Drop the book, use an offline password manager (which some consider safer)
4. Switch to cloud-based cross-platform password manager, which maximizes convenience

I really recommend Bitwarden.

I use gpg to encrypt my passwords with my public key. Benefit is that adding credentials to a new file doesn't require me to type the master password (password for private key). I trust gpg the most for security.

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

I have been using proton pass. Enjoying it so far

Started using RoboForm on Windows XP, switched to Mac, used several there, came back to Windows 7, used LastPass and then dumped LastPass after they were acquired by LogMeIn which, as predicted, poorly managed the product to where people are getting locked out of their passwords. So now its 2023 and I'm back on RoboForm.

(If anyone has any reason to not use RoboForm I would appreciate, however I need to use password sharing occasionally, which is a feature) Edit: just realized this is an Android group but RoboForm has a pretty good Android app, FYI.

Absolutely necessary In the current times. Be it for peace of mind or to free space in the mind. I've been using Bitwarden for over 5 years and I will never look back. The only password I know is the master password of the vault and don't have to worry about the tens of other stored in there.

The yourselves a favour and just go for it. It will be a million times better.

One another Bitwarden user chiming in!

I started with LastPass but they started making things difficult enough on the mobile side that I decided to jump ships. Bitwarden also is a smoother app to use - LastPass felt clunkier (I've used only the free side on both).

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

What's wrong with dashlane? Been using it for years, really don't want to take the effort to move to bitwarden or whatever the flavor of the month is...

Been using 1password family subscription for years. Absolutely swear by it.

As the rest of this thread seems to be saying, yeah Bitwarden seems to be the way to go. I've been using it for years and it's way too convenient not to have (not to mention the security benefits).
