Okay so yesterday, I changed my password as a precaution because of the hack, and just now I decided to clean my browser tabs and re login and almost forgot my password. I'm done dealing with passwords.

What password manager do you recommend?

Features I’m looking for

-Open Source

-Can be synced to cloud (I don’t want self host)

-Can be accessed via a browser

-Cross platform, the more platforms, the better

-End to End Encrypted, and Encrypted at rest on my device, also need some way to authenticate before releasing the password, like a pin or biometrics

-Autofill for browser and apps

-Free (can be a freemium model, but I need the base tier to be free, too broke to spend money on this lol)

-Can export the passwords to a file

I never used a password manager before so sorry if I seem like a noob.

I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.

Edit: Woah, those replies are fast. I think I'll use Bitwarden. Thanks for recommendations! Now I don't need to worry about forgetting passwords anymore. πŸ˜„

Edit 2: It seems I've forgotten my email password as well as a few other accounts I haven't logged into for a while. Damn, should've used a password manager earlier.

Hummm am I the only one using 'pass' ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

What I don't like about pass is that every entry is visible in the file system. An attacker needs just a directory listing to know where I have accounts.

You're not alone

If you’re comfortable around *nix stuff: pass. Open source, free forever, you can β€œhost” it with Github private repo.

Love pass. Been using it for years. Although I'm not sure how you would get it to form fill and stuff, but I don't need all that.

bitwarden, proton pass,1password

What's people's thoughts on Dashlane?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've used it for a few years (paid family plan) and it works pretty well. I have no reason to try to switch to something else, at least for now. Password sharing is handy, and the Android mobile app is nice and integrates nicely into Gboard. It'll remember apps and autofill those as well.

That said I've been messing around with Proton Pass, since I'm paying for Proton Mail and other services. Seems pretty decent but I haven't tried the Android app much.

If you're going through all your site's changing passwords maybe take a look at http://simplelogin.io to also hide your email address. Some sites block you, which is ridiculous, but for the majority of sites it's a good idea.

Now I don't need to worry about forgetting passwords anymore

Only problem is now I don't know any of my passwords, apart from master password for BW. 🀣

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Chances are that I don't really care about the account if I used @duck.com as a mail alias and a bitwarden password which is the only constellation where an account might be unrecoverable without BitWarden.

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

pass would meet your requirements. It is a super simple implementation of a password manager levying PGP for encryption and git for syncing. You can therefore use any git server for syncing. There are browser extensions for autofill etc and scripts to import/export passwords etc.

Bitwarden is fantastic, been using it for a long time now withour complaints.
