    Bitwarden all day every day. I don’t even know any of my passwords because they’re all randomly generated. Try to guess my password now hacker man

    KeePassXC here. Locally encrypted, Locally stored, cloud backup of an encrypted file, synced with SyncThing to mobile devices. I will never trust nor recommend a cloud based manager with all the breaches.

    I know a lot of people are saying Bitwarden, but I’ve been using 1Password for 4 years and Bitwarden just isn’t a viable replacment.

    1Password looks much more modern and their organizational tools are not present at all in Bitwarden. I can’t even sort by date created or modified in Bitwarden.

    Not using a password manager is like not having locks on a house. Everyone should have one and if you don’t, you’re risking a lot of valuable stuff being taken from you.

    Everyone should be using a password manager. Every service should have a different password (and some service should have several passwords) and it’s impossible for the average person to keep track of all of those. Every time I hear about someone losing control of an account it’s because they were using the same password as another service.

    I recommend:

    • KeePassDX: Can be completely offline. Probably the most secure but can be a little awkward to use sometimes.
    • Bitwarden: Cloud based but open source. You could run a server but the main service offers MOST of the features for free.

    Your mileage may very with some of the proprietary platforms. However my job uses 1 Password and it seems to be fairly safe.

    Password manager-less life with notebooks and reused passwords is life in the stone age. If you or anyone you know isn’t using one, get on bitwarden.

    Everyone knows why password manageras are absolutely essential, but here’s an often neglected perk: I can list every site I ever signed up to. Wanna delete some old accounts? “Did you sign up to X yet?” Simples.

    A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.

    I do not trust password managers. There’s a saying that goes ‘do not put all of your eggs in one basket’ and that’s what I don’t do. Mobile, Desktop, whatever, I don’t use a single password manager. It wasn’t long ago that a password management company was compromised, right? What are the odds that similar circumstances could happen on another password management company? It’d be a disaster.

    Whatever happened to just simply having a notepad program/app and documenting your passwords onto there?

    Ironic to the contrary, I’ve caught myself using browsers such as chrome to save my passwords for easier log in. But that’s simply out of my decaying memory due to age, not necessarily because I have a bias with Google and I trust them with everything. I still don’t trust them with everything.
