What is something you can’t live without, technology wise that saves you time?

I have to say it’s my virtual assistant I’ve made. It saves me a lot of time with making reminders and such alarms for meetings or interviews, music etc.

Password manager (saves time typing passwords) and adblocker (saves time wasted on ads and of course malicious content).

What password manager do you use? I use Keeper, but I wonder if there's a cheaper alternative that's just as good that I haven't looked into. I never hear of anyone using this one on Lemmy.

The best is Keepass. The easiest is Bitwarden. Both are free :)

How do they make money?

[-] asret@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

From people like me who pay for Bitwarden.

https://bitwarden.com/pricing/

Well I like free and I really need to tighten my budget with how expensive everything is getting. Thanks for the recommendations! Now for the hard part of figuring how to change all my passwords from one manager to another lol.

You should be able to export them in an appropriate format from your current pw manager and then import them into keepass or bitwarden. Unless your current manager has a proprietary format for vendor lock-in. I've transitioned google > bitwarden > keepass and it was fine. Consider making a donation if you find them useful.

I might have to do this too
