They are great:

  1. Convenience - no more forgot password because of arbitrary condition of having two digits and min. 16 characters etc.
  2. Security - when db leaks and somehow the service you registered for wasn't hashing passwords properly, it's just random set of characters instead of combination of email and password you probably use for a lot of other things.

I've just started using 1Password is there anyway I can copy my passwords from Firefox and Samsung Pass to it automatically?

[–] vahtos@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes.

Firefox

As for Samsung Pass, it seems they don't have an easy export option. They only allow a proprietary binary(?) export, which tbh is enough reason to not use it (vendor lock-in is the worst). source

Thank you, luckily I seem to have my passwords mostly in Firefox.

Keep it simple.

I've had enough friends and family members lose access to critical accounts due to things like changing phone numbers, and relying on auto-signin until their cookies get cleared, that I've begun just recommending password managers to everyone.

But alas, most don't listen.

I use dashlane and I want to change. Any ideas on something that can offer the same functionality?

ie awesome with input fields for autocomplete, ability to save documents and with a good android app?

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

I also use Dashlane, but I don't see anyone else mentioning it. Why do you want to change? Is there something wrong with it?

I use both bitwarden and chrome.

[–] PantsOnHead@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

As many others have said, I use BitWarden and really like it. I used LastPass for years and years, but I switched when the price of premium literally tripled and they needed the free tier to being almost unusable.

[–] MetaCubed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Went from LastPass to Dashlane to self-hosted Bitwarden. $40/year for myself and a couple family members

[–] mrmule@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Moved to Bitwarden from LastPass this year. Never looked back!

I use 1Password Family to manage mine and my parents and it's great. I wouldn't do without.

This is a hard one. So the first hurdle that I came across is with the font used for the padlock's brand. My best guesses so far have been "Elsses", "Elzzes", or "Elcces", but that doesn't really turn up anything useful. This doesn't surprise me much, though, because looking at the font of "Top Security" tells me that this is probably a pretty simple lock from a Chinese manufacturer. Given that it's probably a basic 5-pin pin-tumbler lock loaded up with standard pins, which as you can probably imagine conflicts a bit with the "Top security" statement on the face of the lock, but that's a typical thing these manufacturers do.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the shackle was made from regular non-hardened stainless steel. It's also likely that it used a regular latch on the inside instead of a ball-bearing, thus making it vulnerable to shim attacks. These two points being the most important since thieves will typically gravitate towards the quickest and easiest ways to get past security instead of taking the time to learn how to pick.

In the end, it's an image that I see has been used for a number of posts and articles relating to security online. I wouldn't be surprised if the manufacturer didn't even exist anymore today.

Oh. Sorry, you were asking about password managers. I guess I got a little distracted. I use BitWarden. It's pretty good.

I prefer blackberry password keeper
