If you are not using a password manager you are doing it wrong.

Well, shit. I don't use a password manager but now I feel like I should lol. Gonna check out bitwarden I guess.

I've used 1Password for years. Works well on all my devices (MacBook and Samsung Galaxy phone). I'd absolutely recommend you use one.

Not only are they great for handling complex passwords, but a benefit I've not seen mentioned here is that they are a way of just keeping track of just how many sites and accounts you've registered with.

For example - You buy one product once from an online store, save a password so you can monitor the order status but never use that site again. Before I used 1Password I'd just have forgotten I'd even used that site. But now I can just look down my 1password account and see a whole list of all these passwords and accounts ive created. And there's loads. You forget just how many online accounts and passwords you have out there.

I use keepass 2 with a self hosted nas for the main flle .

Butwarden. Always Bitwarden. Just like almost everyone else in here it seems like.

I absolutely use one and regret I didn't use one earlier. I remember so often how I had to reset my passwords for different sites. Now every password I super complex because I don't have to remember it.

I can't imagine not having a password manager. I even got my mom to switch to bitwarden. I'm not sure if I just don't know how to do it, but the only thing I wish I could do with bitwarden is share a password with another bitwarden user.

Is it bad that I just love built-in Chrome/Google auto-fill manager? Is this not safe? Autosync to Android does it for me + the fact that i can auto-generate and save/fill passwords seamlessly without having to switch between apps

Keepass + Syncthing awesome combination

I've used Dashlane for a few years now and I can't say there are any issues with it at all.
I used to just use a list stored in Google Keep, "encrypted" in such a way that only I knew what the passwords were. That got really old.

It’s 1Password for me. Looks good, works good and is available for every platform that I use.

For work I use KeepasXC and Bitwarden+Vaultwarden as well.

I use 1Password because I got my wife to use it. The paid plan is worth it just for the fact that she also uses it. If it was just myself, I would probably self-host Bitwarden.

I used to use Bitwarden and it's a great App but you need to export your saved password list frequently somewhere safe just in case.

I now use Safe In Cloud, the backup can be restored from their servers.

Afaik, the backups encrypted and Safe In Cloud have no access anyway, check out the Playstore reviews for more details.

Using a sheet of paper right now, am in the process of switching to a self-written password manager. It uses Vigenere encryption using a key that is not saved anywhere (that I have to remember) and saves to a .dat file. Should I use my own tool or a service?

I just completed a study of Enterprise password management and move my company from LastPass to BitWarden.

1password was a close second.

I love using 1Password!

Started with LastPass many years ago - but has changed to 1Password just last week.

Bitwarden and Dashlane were close contenders, but I found that 1Password's sharing feature was better in my usage scenarios.

Definitely recommend using one. Don't have a preference for any particular one, I use Google's for simplicity sake. But unless you have a complicated system that allows you to have different passwords for every online service (or maybe if you have a great memory) it's simply more secure to use a password manager. Most sites have emails as logins, and if you reuse the same email/password combination you're just asking for trouble for when one day one of those sites get hacked, your password is sold, and someone spams your combo across all popular services and somehow ends up in your bank.

Used last pass for years until they decided no account sync for free users now I use bitwarden which I find is fantastic.

Use KeePass!! It's an opensource, offline if you'd like, password manager that doesn't trust any third party servers to manage your sensitive information. https://keepass.info/

Have been using 1password for about 5 years now and have not have a single problem. I really like the integration with browsers and the iOS app. I am keen on testing protons though since I use the VPN and email.

I used Bitwarden, I just signed up for pro last month. I like that it’s cross platform and there’s a web app too I believe.

I've used password managers for as long as I've used the internet. I find it absolutely essential.

If you're not currently using one, it's likely that as the number of your login credentials increase, bad habits will increase. So it's probably better to use a password manager any way.

If you're using good, separate password, saving logins in the browser might work for you too. In that case I'd suggest you read up on the security your browser provides, ability to sync, migrate etc.

it is has become so much easier to manage my password after I started to use bitwarden it is just convenient

I haven't heard anyone mention Google password manager, which is the one I started using recently. I assume very few people trust it because... Google?

Does a sheet of paper count as a password manager?

I'm not going to say whether it's the best or not because I have not compared, but I have used Keepass2Android for years which seemlessly integrates with my cloud storage and key files (stored offline), has useful randomized password generation, and is overall unobtrusive

I use Bitwarden with some trepidation. I keep hoping that eventually Proton Pass morphs into something that seems even more secure but right now it's pretty basic.

I use pen and paper... yup.
