I second the recommendation for Bitwarden.
I switched over from Dashlane and never looked back. They even have a browser extension for mobile Firefox (the browser you should be using anyways) so it’s easy and convenient on all my devices.
+1 for Bitwarden. There were growing pains at the start to move off of iCloud Keychain. Once done and being more proactive with managing passwords it’s so good and trustworthy
Agreed. Bitwarden has been fantastic. I just wish it was easier to swap between accounts on the browser extension. You can do it on desktop and mobile pretty easily.
when lastpass screwed around with it’s free tier offering, i switched to bitwarden and haven’t felt any reason to use or even try anything else, it’s rock solid
Been using KeePassXC (and before that, KeePassX) since I abandoned LastPass about a decade ago. The apps integrate with Nextcloud perfectly and at least for me, it’s a breeze. I use it for TOTP too, and I second the recommendation of a hardware token for an additional layer of security. There are some USBc options that work on phones (I’m using a pixel 7 pro).
I made a hardware-based password manager that I keep on me with the 3-2-1 rule. (One on me, one at home, one in a remote location) It’s barely-secure, but the data is not accessible except when I’m updating it. It’s similar to the mooltipass but all the passwords are stored on eeprom.
Could the eeprom be hacked by someone and all my passwords probably read in cleartext? Yeah. How many fucking people actually know how to do that though? Virtually none.
Honestly, I’d love to just simply be able to afford a mooltipass though. :(
This is what I based my personal one on: https://www.instructables.com/PasswordPump-Passwords-Manager/
And I usually generate the passwords with an online tool so that I’m never using the same password twice.
Why not keepass and its editors and just keep the vault file on a flash drive?
Exactly. Plus, if you’re a windows user, you can keep the portable version of KeePass on the drive as well.
Not OP but this is exactly what I do and it works great
Bitwarden, been using it for 3yrs
Bitwarden gang
I use KeepassXC for years, but lately I’m having problems connecting it. I use it only offline and the Firefox plugin doesn’t work very well. It has many options, too many in my opinion. I don’t like having my passwords in a company’s cloud. The selfhosting is the solution, but i dont have to know
Bitwarden - does everything, and is free. You can even setup a shared vault so 2 people can have access to shared stuff like online shopping and streaming sites. Takes a bit of admin work but it is not hard.
Sadly that second but requires the other person to care enough to make an account and not just text you when they need the password 😂
Just send a photograph of your screen showing the requested password of 25 random characters so they have to type it out. Guaranteed their next question will be where they sign up for an account.
lol that’s generally what I do. Sometimes I’m nice enough to copy and paste. We don’t share a lot of accounts so it’s not a huge issue.
LastPass did not make the list, I am shocked, shocked, well ok not that shocked.
How are you shocked? LastPass is trash
Quick question - any issue with just saving passwords on Firefox? I use FF across all my devices and the sync between them without the need of an extra app is super convenient.
Or am I just being naive?
Wow, so 1Password is not recommended anymore? How come? I’ve been using them for years.
I use KeePass and keep it synced with self hosting Nextcloud. I get the appeal of bitwarden, but I’m really trying to get off other people’s computers.
Vaultwarden can be easily hosted for free

I’ve settled in with Keep Ass myself.
Bitwarden. Tried Proton Pass but ultimately stuck with Bitwarden.
It has been my password manager of choice for quite some time and I didn’t see any reason to change.
