Switched from LastPass to 1Password after their ridiculous security breaches and haven't looked back. 1Password also kindly gave me the first year free after sending them my LP invoice.
Bitwarden's browser extension is great, which is something I can not say about their mobile app which is slow and not very user friendly. It does, however, make my passwords safer since I tend to use random ones.
Just moved from bitwarden to proton pass, so far so good. Would recommend keepass, bitwarden,1password but definitely not lastpass.
Anyone not using a password manager is shooting themselves in the foot and often time not realizing till its too late. Along with that sign up for a service that notifies you of data breaches, I think bitwarden has one built in (might only be for subscribing members though) and there is always https://haveibeenpwned.com/
I just use the chrome password manager, works great and seamlessly transitions from Android to desktop. I used to use KeePass, but the convenience of the built in tools in chrome just works really well, especially after moving over from iOS.
I'm probably going to get grilled for this but I've Been using Firefox's Saved passwords, I really don't need anything better.
Keepass with syncthing is GOAT
Using a password manager to keep your passwords safe is a good practice. I’m still a bit hesitant to use the cloud based options. Even though all is encrypted. I use KeePass and OneSafe. Currently looking into the new password manager from Proton to investigate whether that is a good and practical one to use.
Having a password manager is incredibly useful when someone dies and you need access to their accounts. I think bitwarden and probably others lets you grant emergency access to someone, definitely leaving it in my will.
I use bit warden and I love it. And yes, I would recommend using a password locker. Just make sure you do some research before selecting one.
Yeah I use Lastpass, it's very useful. I'd like to switch to something FOSS and locally encrypted, but honestly I've tried a couple times and never got it working properly, meanwhile Lastpass always works. I hate their blinding white UI lol.
Does anyone have recommendation for a password manager that works well on both mobile and desktop? I browse with Firefox and while Lockwise is integrated into Firefox now and works fine on desktop, it's kind of 'eh on mobile in my opinion. It "works" but I find it to be fairly clunky and a lot of the time I need to open the Firefox app and just find the password in there and paste it in.
Does any other application work better for transferring passwords made on desktop to mobile more seamlessly? Looking for better detection of the user/pass via app or website.
+1 for bitwarden. I use the desktop app + browser extension + Android app. I have to manually hit the sync button on the android app every so often but other than that it just works.
I use pass
which is a frontend for GnuPG
. It's sort of primitive and I had to write user interface for it but it's super flexible. Since every password is saved in encrypted file syncing is easy and we use Git to share company passwords amongst ourselves.
Password managers are a great tool for digital hygiene. The main way an average Joe gets his accounts taken over is because it reused the same user and password combination.
I have proton subscription for mail, vpn the works. Just switched to Proton Pass and very happy. Auto creates alias emails on signups so my real email is not out there.
I personally use pass, which uses gpg for encryption and can also use git repositories (I use it with my personal gitea instance).
