Self custody is something you need to keep in practice. I use keepassXC everywhere.

[–] Ahmed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Using Bitwarden here. All is good but sometimes the auto-fill feature doesn't work well.

I really like bitwarden personally. Its open source and works pretty well for my needs

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I don't use a PM because I'm too paranoid about losing access to it (hardware failure, file corruption), thus losing access to all accounts it protects. I end up writing down my passwords on paper. Not the full thing, just a personal reminder.

The real irony is that an "easily stolen" piece of paper is safer than anything i leave on my computer or phone

[–] flatpandisk@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, it saves on the odd site I use once a year and trying to have to remember that.

[–] SharkyPants@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I would recommend one but I have always been wery about sending password data through the internet to be stored on some companies server. So I put in the effort to host my own Vaultwarden docker instance through TrueNas scale (True charts) on my home server and access it via a VPN tunnel (Wireguard). It's very complicated to setup compared to a web service but this way I own all of my password data locally. The android app (Bitwarden) works alright but sometimes it has trouble understanding what is a login screen and you have to force fill things. Vaultwarden as a docker instance works great. The only time this setup needs to be on VPN is to save a new password. Using existing passwords seem to be cached on my device.

I pay for 1Password for families. Everyone except one person uses it. The person who doesn't use it is always getting locked out of his accounts....

I also use 1Password to store what information I've given a website. That's come in handy when I've needed to change my phone number, email, or credit card.

[–] SpaghettiYeti@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I use Dashlane and I'm generally happy with it, plus you get a VPN for free.

But so many people use bitwarden it seems. Anyone use both and have a comparison?

[–] cordlord@eviltoast.org 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] floppingfish@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've used Keepass or Keepass XC for years. They are great!

[–] IAmBread@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago

And, since KP is offline, you don't have the same security risks as the cloud hosted password managers. If you were really paranoid, you could put your KP database file on a USB so it's never online.

Plus, even if someone were to somehow acquire a current version of your database file, it's heavily encrypted. By the time they crack it you should've changed your passwords anyway.

Keypass is my ninja. I'm never not using a password manager.

[–] RobinFood@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’ve been using Bitwarden for years and also use the Apple password manager on my phone and iPad so I have a copy in case something happens.

I also keep some less sensitive work passwords on chrome because I don’t want to open Bitwarden at work.

[–] G0FuckThyself@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Since i started using KeypassX, My memory just got worse

[–] Sterben@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I started with mSecure for a short time, than switched to 1Password.

Lastly, I turned to Bitwarden which is open source too. I used the free version for a while, but then I paid 10$ for the premium version (mainly to support the team).

I tried NordPass, but Bitwarden it is just objectively better and cheaper.

Now all my logins have random password, additionally I have input my DuckDuckGo API Key to generate random alias within Bitwarden.

[–] xb4r7x@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Absolutely worth it. It's the only way to actually adhere to password best practices.

[–] DBoechat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've been using Safe In Cloud since 2012. I like it a lot.

[–] dasprii@lemmy.froztbyte.dev 3 points 1 year ago

As the rest of this thread seems to be saying, yeah Bitwarden seems to be the way to go. I've been using it for years and it's way too convenient not to have (not to mention the security benefits).

[–] ramplay@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

So apparently I'm alone in using RememBear...

Been using it and I like it 🤷‍♂️

I've been using Microsoft authenticator for work, and since it was there I also started using it for my personal accounts and passwords as well. It works well enough, never had any issues.

I just Safe In Cloud. It syncs to a cloud service. There I have the paid mobile version that works with the free desktop version it works nice.
