Hot take here: Password managers are a solution looking for a problem.
I use the paid version of bitwarden and would recommend it to anyone who can afford the subscription and two yubikeys.
I use pass, its basically pgp with git. Works suprisingly well for such a simple thing
I can't imagine not using a password manager. I am a long-time user of 1Password and have been very happy with the service and apps. I recommend it to everyone. Worth every penny and then some IMO.
They are totally necessary - if you don't use the same passwords across the internet I mean.
How many accounts do you have on the web? I can count at least twenty accounts that I have and use from a variety of services. Keeping different usernames, emails (through alias) and passes in mind is no easy task, so a good password manager is absolutely needed.
People are recommending Bitwarden and I can't say it's bad, truly, it's a really secure and private alternative. Although, in my opinion, keeping a offline safe for your accounts is way better because only you have the absolute control over all the credentials. I use KeePassDX on my PC and phone, synced by Synching, and being loving it for some years still.
I used LastPass until they went for-pay with very little warning. So to protest I subscribed to Bitwarden premium (or whatever their paid tier is called)! Can recommend.
I use KeepassDX, one of the variants of Keepass. I don't know if it's any better or worse than the other variants but it has worked well for me so far.
The advantage is you are hosting your own password database so you aren't reliant on some cloud platform that inevitably gets hacked.
But a cloud platform is arguably more secure and has more resources for security than your personal database. True, you are a much smaller target and less likely to get targeted, but it still stands to reason that you are vulnerable.
I use 1password. I heard that Apple uses 1password internally. I figure their IT guys are more expert than me, a random internet dude. So I chose 1password. Works great on desktop, mobile, and even Linux. Family plan is a good deal. You can even share passwords between users for common things like bank accounts, etc, between family members.
Using Bitwarden for password manager, Aegis for 2fa, been working great for me so far.
At this point NOT using a password manager is absolutely insane from a security perspective. Password managers not only make your life easier, but if you use them correctly, you can setup each service with its own dedicated and complex password. Good luck doing that without one!
I don't but I should even though my threat level is zero.
But then isn't a single point of failure a problem? I guess we use these to make life easier with strong passwords, but what if the cloud with sync gets leaked, or someone keylogs my pass manager then I lose all passwords not just those incidentally affected by a leak or hack?
My opinion is that they are a godsend, and it baffles me why neither Apple nor Google have a proper client for this...
Thankfully Bitwarden exists.
Dang you guys made me feel bad for using Microsoft Authenticator lol.
Bitwarden's browser extension is great, which is something I can not say about their mobile app which is slow and not very user friendly. It does, however, make my passwords safer since I tend to use random ones.
Having a password manager is incredibly useful when someone dies and you need access to their accounts. I think bitwarden and probably others lets you grant emergency access to someone, definitely leaving it in my will.
I'm probably going to get grilled for this but I've Been using Firefox's Saved passwords, I really don't need anything better.
I use keepass and host the files "myself", means in my clouds, keepass droid is a nice adfree app, I just like to have control over my passwords after I read some articles about password "safes". It's a bit effort to setup, but since then works perfectly.
I personally use Firefox's built-in password manager and it works great for me. I use Relay to generate email masks and enter in random passwords that are saved and synced across my devices. It's been very helpful!
I toss my KeePass file (encrypted database) in Google Drive.
That way I have all the convenience of syncing through the cloud, but I also get the benefit of having my database access and database storage be managed by separate companies.
If Google has a breach and my data gets leaked, sucks, but the database is encrypted so I’m good. If KeePass encryption is broken, sucks, but attackers would also have to find a way to gain access to my Google Drive.
Have been pleased with 1Password going on 5+ years with a family plan. Bitwarden is also a great consideration. Avoid LastPass.
Using a password manager to keep your passwords safe is a good practice. I’m still a bit hesitant to use the cloud based options. Even though all is encrypted. I use KeePass and OneSafe. Currently looking into the new password manager from Proton to investigate whether that is a good and practical one to use.
Password managers are much better than using the same password again and again. I use 1Password.
