Okay so yesterday, I changed my password as a precaution because of the hack, and just now I decided to clean my browser tabs and re login and almost forgot my password. I'm done dealing with passwords.

What password manager do you recommend?

Features I’m looking for

-Open Source

-Can be synced to cloud (I don’t want self host)

-Can be accessed via a browser

-Cross platform, the more platforms, the better

-End to End Encrypted, and Encrypted at rest on my device, also need some way to authenticate before releasing the password, like a pin or biometrics

-Autofill for browser and apps

-Free (can be a freemium model, but I need the base tier to be free, too broke to spend money on this lol)

-Can export the passwords to a file

I never used a password manager before so sorry if I seem like a noob.

I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.

Edit: Woah, those replies are fast. I think I'll use Bitwarden. Thanks for recommendations! Now I don't need to worry about forgetting passwords anymore. 😄

Edit 2: It seems I've forgotten my email password as well as a few other accounts I haven't logged into for a while. Damn, should've used a password manager earlier.

Vault warden. (Implements bitwarden).

Works with bitwarden apps / browser plugins. Locally hosted. Rust.

+1 for bitwarden. If you want full control you can even host your own server. Easyish to setup at Bitwarden Docker Setup

Used to love LastPass, then it charge expansive for pc and android multi device. I'm too looking for better pm.

[-] zahel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Bitwarden. Either selfhosted or the official

[-] RomanRoy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Bitwarden, no question

[-] sharan@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Bitwarden. Definitely recommended.

[-] backshift0022@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

As others say, Bitwarden checks all of those boxes, and KeepassXC technically doesn't fit the "not self hosted" requirement, but you can store your database file in any cloud storage you want.

If you’re comfortable around *nix stuff: pass. Open source, free forever, you can “host” it with Github private repo.

[-] wuddupdude@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago

Love pass. Been using it for years. Although I'm not sure how you would get it to form fill and stuff, but I don't need all that.

Since you don't want to selfhost anyway just use the one built-in to your browser. Nowadays you can set up synch with a password

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Terrible idea. Never use your browser to save passwords. Way too easy to hack.

protonpass for sure.

Bitwarden is great, but it's way too easy to lock yourself out of it if it's your first pw manager ever.

[-] maxxpowerr@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

What would you suggest to first time users so they avoid being locked out?

There’s only two real choices imo.

Bitwarden or Keepass (KeePassXC for desktop, you’ll need one of many app choices for your phone).

Keepass you would sync to your own cloud provider and use a key file for protection.

Bitwarden is the obvious answer that fits all your criteria.

[-] Rakn@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago

Why are these the only real choices? What makes the others not real?

[-] ebits21@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago

Only ones I trust that are open sourced and have some kind of audit.

[-] Rakn@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago

Don't closed ones like 1Password also have audits? But I guess it's a personal philosophy.

[-] ebits21@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago

Sure. But I wouldn’t trust closed source software for passwords. Personal decision.

[-] wilberfan@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Gratifying to see all the love for Bitwarden!

[-] cokane_88@lemmy.fmhy.ml -5 points 1 year ago

Online password manager GTFO never ever doing that.

I use password safe desinged by Bruce Schneier, it's legit AF, https://pwsafe.org/
