What is a really smart choice for password manager apps? Concerned about privacy and politically involved CEOs.

I've used:

  • LastPass
  • 1Password
  • ProtonPass (Now using)

I thought ProtonPass was a good choice but I'm starting to read more about it. What's just a really solid choice all around, that you can feel good about? Free or paid.

Update: I decided to go with Bitwarden and Bitwarden Authenticator. The features and the experience are better than the three listed above that I've used before. Awesome advice here, thanks everyone.

KeePass is really good. I use Keepass DX on my phone and use syncthing to sync them. Works amazing.

+1 for keepassxc + syncthing

Also generally recommebd syncthing as a replacement for cloud storage for you phone pics and music and stuff.

Samesies!


One very important word of caution (unfortunately coming from experience): Syncthing, as the name suggests, makes it so the content of one device is the same as that of another device. So, even if you have one device set to only receive data, it means that if you delete a file from the sending device, the receiving device will also delete that file to stay in sync with the sending device.

There is a way to use Syncthing as a simple backup storage program (not necessarily the best solution but much better than manually backing up your files every few months and just hoping for the best). But it means that you have to use the advanced folder option "ignoreDelete". I also use the file versioning system, so even if something is automatically deleted by mistake, it's still versioned in a special subfolder and accessible to me.

Yeah i basically view it like a network drive in its default configuration. As if you were carrying around a USB drive.

Samesies. KeePass works great for me as well, storing it on a server so it's accessible for both phones (using KeePassXC), and desktop using the web app for keeweb.info (app.keeweb.info).
