I personally moved to Bitwarden from 1Password due to the cost, and I believe for an average user, Bitwarden is definitely the way to go as it is very value-friendly (at $10 USD/year), and it is open-sourced unlike many other proprietary password managers. 1Password may get more features, however it being $3.99 USD/month, many users don't need the extra security features and I strongly believe that common sense is the best security for any user.
Password managers are much better than using the same password again and again. I use 1Password.
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.
Using Bitwarden for password manager, Aegis for 2fa, been working great for me so far.
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.
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 am happy since years with 1password
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.
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.
Another vote for Bitwarden!
I have no idea how anyone lives without one, there's really no downside to using one if it's set up properly
I just use the Google password manager so i don't have to put everything in every time i log into an app or a website
I get 1Pass through work, and the ‘personal’ vault detaches if I ever leave my job. Super useful to have, to the point that using devices where I’m not logged in feels so much worse.
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.
Have been pleased with 1Password going on 5+ years with a family plan. Bitwarden is also a great consideration. Avoid LastPass.
Using no password manager and a different password for every account would be the most secure option but most people (including me) would be too lazy for that. Instead I used to use the same password everywhere, which is obviously very unsafe. I then switched to Bitwarden, where I can just generate a secure password for each account and I can access them all with one password. I still need to remember only one password but it's a lot more secure than using the same one everywhere.
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.
KeePass
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!
1password family user here. I cringe nowadays when people still try to remember their passwords and accounts and say they have a "good" system. It's a necessity nowadays. Sounds like the consensus favorite around here is Bitwarden. Anyone wanna tell why they prefer it over 1password? Is it because it's self-hostable?
