I finally committed myself to getting BitWarden set up, maybe a year ago. I wish I had done it sooner. I use it to generate all my passwords, and I have it installed on my phone and desktop. I love remembering only one password and knowing all my other passwords are secure. For me it's a no-brainer.
Loving vaultwarden. Easy to share with family for passwords, great browser extension.
Ive used 1password since almost the beginning. Cant say I have any complaints at all!
it simply is not plausable to remember so many complex passwords and services. i use bitwarden and i just need to remember one password, that's it. can not recommend it enough.
Keepass with syncthing is GOAT
I honestly don't know how anyone manages without one these days. How would you even keep track of it all? Even if you go the 'same password for everything' route of horrible security, different websites have different requirements for both username and password. Wouldn't be able keep it all straight at all.
I personally use 1password, which is better than Lastpass for sure. Probably not as good as Bitwarden, but I'm too lazy to switch a second time.
Does anyone have recommendation for a password manager that works well on both mobile and desktop? I browse with Firefox and while Lockwise is integrated into Firefox now and works fine on desktop, it's kind of 'eh on mobile in my opinion. It "works" but I find it to be fairly clunky and a lot of the time I need to open the Firefox app and just find the password in there and paste it in.
Does any other application work better for transferring passwords made on desktop to mobile more seamlessly? Looking for better detection of the user/pass via app or website.
I also use Firefox on all my devices (PC,Mac, Android), In Android only 6/10 times it will show Search Password in Firefox when I select any login form in the browser or any app. It's kinda annoying. I spent more time in my Mac so I don't consider it a big deal.
+1 for bitwarden. I use the desktop app + browser extension + Android app. I have to manually hit the sync button on the android app every so often but other than that it just works.
It's kinda ridiculous that no one made better system for credentials, soma of requirements policies are ridiculous.
I would never use cloud services if not hosted on my server.
Keepass with custom sync is best option.
I prefer a password with pronounceable content of nonsense words, separated by dashes, with some numbers and symbols in there somewhere. Such as: tostog-Meenish-flurbit-dalsag-3023# . It's long enough to be very secure, and easy to transcribe if I have to type it. None of the words are in a dictionary. I keep a big list in a note on my desktop, and peel'em off as needed, finally keeping the utilized PWs in Enpass.
Switched to bitwarden last October and couldn't be happier. Was previously just storing everything in chrome/my Google account. Reused the same password on pretty much every website. When I saw a few articless about chrome causing issues with ad blockers I decided to switch to Firefox which meant having to figure out my passwords. Decided that was a great time to figure out a separate password manager. I still occasionally run into websites I don't use often that still have my old password but for the most part everything is switched over and if 2FA is an option I have it set up. Going through my main sites was a drag but I felt so much better afterwards. I was really shocked at how many websites have really low limits on password length. And how some of the accounts I would really really prefer to have 2FA it's not even an option, looking at you banks.
My work actually just switched payroll companies and when creating my account I noticed the password field was 0/127 so of course I bumped up my password generator to 127 and maxed out the password field 😂
Use KeePass, sync the passwords with your preferred service (I use Dropbox), then use another method to transfer and save a key file to use together with your master password.
Don’t trust bitwarden unless you selfhost.
Keepass with key file. I synchronise only the database with cloud servers while the key file stays on my devices and never gets synched. I think that's a good tradeoff for security and convenience.
I use pass which is a frontend for GnuPG. It's sort of primitive and I had to write user interface for it but it's super flexible. Since every password is saved in encrypted file syncing is easy and we use Git to share company passwords amongst ourselves.
1Password all the way. Holds my passwords and all of my 2FA codes. I understand it’s a single point of failure but I’m comfortable with their architecture and I don’t feel like self hosting stuff.
Loved bitwarden but switched to 1Password recently because their UI is so much nicer. ik, weird reason.
also because it was free with GitHub Student.
They're much more than passwords managers nowadays, they're secrets managers. You can't store sensitive info like passport info, insurance cards, etc in a way that you know is safe if you make sure to use a unique and strong password as well as 2FA.
Password managers are a great tool for digital hygiene. The main way an average Joe gets his accounts taken over is because it reused the same user and password combination.
