I'm using KeePass currently, since I don't really want to use anything publicly hosted. But I was curious to see what other people have been using!

I used KeepassXC and Keepass2Android but the implementation seems a bit janky at times and the need to sync it manually or let it sync via a cloud is not all that comfortable.

I switched to Bitwarden about a month ago and consider it still as a test phase for now. I'm not that happy with just having my passwords lying around on a random cloud server.

You can always self host your bitwarden instance if you want.

For me, bitwarden is a good middle ground, it's super easy to setup, works super well on desktop and android, and it's still way better than using the same 8 character password everywhere. I think it's easier to recommend as a starter to anyone that's not using a password manager.

Self hosted Bitwarden out of my house. I bought an old server a while back and it's been running like a champ. The official version s a bit cumbersome, but it seems to work really well. No complaints.

Selfhosting Vaultwarden (Bitwarden)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I used to use Dashlane but when I found out bitwarden was free I just started using that

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

KeepassXC with syncthing

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

KeePass still too! I use keepass2 on Android and it's basically changed my life. Auto fill w/ bio unlock...it's the BEST

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

KeepassXC on desktop and Strongbox on mobile. Syncing works through any cloud provider of choice

I just use hunter2 as my password literally everywhere. Otherwise it's easy to forget if you use more than one. I also use Bitwarden to manage all those passwords. It's really easy cuz you only need to type "hunter2" only once when you log in. After that you can just click it.

Self hosted vaultwarden for personal use and pass at work.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Keepass and Strongbox.

I don’t like the honeypot that is anything too centralized, even if it is e2e encrypted. I’d be worried about exploits or compromised client payloads.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dashlane here. I self host a lot and could definitely use Keypass or something locally, but the risk of losing all your passwords if I fuck something up was too great. I'll pay professionals.

I used to use KeePass, but switched to https://www.passwordstore.org with a YubiKey after discovering how janky the KeePass 2FA system is designed a while back.

1Password is a genuine life saver.

KeepassXC and Keepass2Android

Enpass, no puplic hosting. Clients in phone and PC. You can use your own services if you want to upload or keep it in a folder on the phone.

1Password. Wasn't thrilled with their move to electron, but it hasn't been as bad as I feared, and they've earned my trust at this point

Doesn't hurt that my work now uses it, so I get the family plan for free either

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I’m entirely in the Apple ecosystem, so I use the built in Keychain, synced across devices through iCloud.

It would be Bitwarden otherwise.

KeePassXC and Keepass2Android auto-synced with my Nextcloud instance. Works great cross-platform for Linux/Windows/Android.

I know what you mean, trusting a SaaS provider with my master password list always felt like a bad plan.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Bitwarden all the way

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Another happy KeepassXC user here! Keepass2android on Android. I keep the passwords synced with nextcloud

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I've been using KeePass and KeePassdroid for at least 10 years now. "Sync" my dB through one drive, only because at one time we were allowed to use our personal one at work, but since they blocked personal folders in favor of corporate ones it is much less handy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Another vote for Bitwarden. Works on everything I use!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

For work I use 1Password, for at home I use Bitwarden.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Password managers are for suckas, I just use password123 for everything.

I rolled my own, actually. I don't store any passwords (even encrypted). Instead, I just append the site name to my base password (which is in my head), hash it, and base-52 it. (I also start each password with the same uppercase letter, lowercase letter, punctuation mark, just to ensure it gets past any bullshit filters)

I like that there's nothing that can be leaked (except what's in my head) and nothing to be lost and nothing to back up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's ingenious.

Can you elaborate on a detail for me?

I understood everything up to "base-52 it."

I understand how converting base-10 to base-52 works, but that doesn't include alphabetical characters. What are you converting from? Are you numbering A=1, B=2, C=3...?

Keepass on OneDrive, so I can access it from my computer and phone.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I simply use Google/Chrome
