I used KeePass for years. Now I switched to BitWarden since it's open source and audited.

I don't like to keep any security stuff in "the cloud", written down anywhere, or even on my own devices. It's too easy to lose everything after one security breach.

Instead, I use password algorithms seeded from both the service name/identifier and one or more private passwords. This lets me keep thousands of service/site unique passwords in my head just by memorizing twenty or so words.

LastPass -> Enpass -> BitWarden

Tried KeePass (on Windows), 1Password and pass before settling with BitWarden.

I switched from LastPass to Bitwarden. I think they're great, being able to use a strong bespoke password for every service along with one nuclear missile arming grade password plus 2FA for the manager itself.

I don't know if this totally credible or not, but I found news that KeepassXC receives positive audit from independent security consultant. Very rare to happen in pass manager apps..

I got this news from Linux Magazine first as I remembered, so I think this is credible and best alternative solution for us to use KeepassXC than other (never heard other apps has been audits by independent security firms / consultants like this).

Currently I use Bitwarden on both my phone and my pc, but I'm looking into self hosting it with vaultwarden. This gives you access to premium features (such as TOTP support, for which I currently use Aegis Authenticator). It also gives you full control over your data.

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.

I use Bitwarden. Used to use Last pass, but that got crappy a while back.

Im using KeepassXC and sync it with Nextcloud

I like the simplicity of password-store. It's just a simple wrapper around a text editor, gpg, and git that allows you to make an encrypted, version controlled password repository that you can sync between devices using GitHub/Gitlab/etc. It also doesn't lock you in to any app since the passwords are just stored in gpg-encrypted files.

Bitwarden

Password managers are a requirement for me these days. With how many breaches occur daily that we might not even know about you probably want a password that hasn't been reversed or used before. For me I don't know what I'd do without Bitwarden. I previously used LastPass until they added some restrictions and I figured out that Bitwarden was opensource. I don't currently run my own instance of it but easily could, keeping my passwords off other peoples computers.

As with most things security it's about assessing your risk.

If you're a granny with a hand full of passwords then a notebook is probably fine.

I think for most people, who aren't CEOs, high value employees, or some kind of holder of the keys to a kingdom beyond their personal bank account, a solid full e2ee password manager that's cloud synced is a nice middle ground of security vs convenience. It beats a post it under keyboard or a notebook left on the night stand.

For those CEOs, or high value employees then something offline is in order. Or as I've seen others note perhaps a combo of full offline and cloud synced for less important logins.

I recommend Bitwarden as others have here. It seems to be the one that's come through unscathed thus far and the company behind it seems to be making the right moves to stay ahead of risks. https://bitwarden.com/help/is-bitwarden-audited/

KeepassXC on desktop with browser plugin, KeePassDX on android I find it less confusing to use than Keepass2Android.

It is only a bit difficult to setup sync, but you can use syncthing, or drive and it works nicely.

As others have said, bitwarden. I've also heard good things about roboform.

I really love that bitwarden is not only open source but has been professionally code reviewed, and can be self hosted if you've got the knowledge to do so.

Of course, if you're self hosting it make sure you have a solid backup strategy for your vault.

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.

I think the best quote on PW Managers was "Password Managers are the vegetables of the internet. We all know they're good for us, but a lot of people are still content with the equivalent of password junk food".

Password managers are great, and the time i have to spend unlocking Bitwarden to autofill my password, is about the same time that it would take me to type out a password on my own. AND my passwords are exponentially more secure!

Lots of love for Bitwarden in this thread; I’d also like to pitch in with 1Password. It’s got a great UX and I even got my mom on board.

Used to use Lastpass since ~2013; really glad I switched last year. Lastpass has turned to absolute shit.

Been using KeePass for years since I couldn't keep track of every single random passphrase I have. And yes, I recommend it highly.

Keepassxc for storage/backup and then I let the browser save the passwords I use. I like this setup.

Yes. I’m in the free KeePass ecosystem. Self hosted via iCloud and backed up to Proton Drive.

KeePass2Android no net on my Android.

Keepassium on my iPhone.

And KeepassDX on my desktop.

1Password since forever. Can’t imagine having to type passwords or remember them.

So many answers for Bitwarden but I too will agree. It's my go-to ever since I've found out about it, I don't know any of my passwords apart from my Bitwarden vault master password tbh.

So happy I got 1Password set up and it has treated me right during the years I’ve used it. I wish my parents had such a thing. They have all the passwords written on a sheet of paper that sits under the keyboard. Like the digital version of car keys up in the visor.
