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 Iโ€™m looking for

-Open Source

-Can be synced to cloud (I donโ€™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I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.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. ๐Ÿ˜„

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.

I self host bitwarden currently, but have been playing with the idea of using Vaultwarden instead, just havenโ€™t gotten around to uprooting my working system.

Selfhosted or not, you can also make keepassxc portable with a usb drive.

Here is a old thread from redit explaining how to do it:

Dude.... KeepassXC has portables for linux, there is no need to mess with wine or mono. As long as you have both portable versions of KeepassXC, you will not have a problem. You can totally have your database sync between OSs.

  • For Linux, just get the AppImage for the portable.
  • For Windows, get the Portable ZIP archive.
  • Shove them both into a USB, you have KeepassXC portable for both OSs on a stick.

I use LastPass because my company pays for it, I also export to all of my browsers because LastPass doesn't fill or save passwords right on some sites and the browser auto fill works better. Sometimes that means I have to search a bit for the right password for an account, but the system works and I haven't had a compromised password that was my fault in a long time since I use autogenerated passwords. As always 2FA the important accounts.

My brain. Comes up with the whackiest excuses for why this-and-that password would be a great choice and how easy it would be to remember, only to later explain to me rationally why it was the wrong choice and how I should've known I'd forget it. Then again, that's just extra security. If it's only stored in my internal memory and even I can't remember it, no one else is getting in for sure.
