It is an absolute necessity if you use a computer. If you dont have a password manager your accounts are not secure, unless you can memorize randomized passwords. I personally don't like the idea of my most sensitive file (password database), being on someone elses computer. I use KeePassXC to mitigate this, but if you want cloud sync I recommend Bitwarden.
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?
Absolutely necessary In the current times. Be it for peace of mind or to free space in the mind. I've been using Bitwarden for over 5 years and I will never look back. The only password I know is the master password of the vault and don't have to worry about the tens of other stored in there.
The yourselves a favour and just go for it. It will be a million times better.
So apparently I'm alone in using RememBear...
Been using it and I like it 🤷♂️
I think it's almost necessary. I only have to remember one password now. Bitwarden has apps/extensions on basically any device/browser I've used that integrate well with auto-fill. It was weird not being able to "know" my passwords originally, but it's great not ever having to remember which variant of a password I might have used. Plus, you can easily share some accounts with people easily and it's just seamless (a lot of IoT devices only work with a single account for example).
Currently a Bitwarden user at both home & at work. Picked up some Teams licenses for my department earlier this year - Password Managers are absolute essentials for next of kin & for successors at work.
Keypass is my ninja. I'm never not using a password manager.
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.
I've used Keepass or Keepass XC for years. They are great!
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.
Keeper is a fantastic zero knowledge password manager. Once I started using keeper, I never looked back.
Since i started using KeypassX, My memory just got worse
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.
Yes, it saves on the odd site I use once a year and trying to have to remember that.
They should be a hard requirement to anyone that wants to access the internet by now. Although the ones built-in to the operating system such as Gnome keyring, Kwallet, Windows Credential Manager and Apple Keychain are OK, the third party ones are 100% better.
Personally I use KeepassXC and just have it synced across different devices via Syncthing. While I also keep weekly backup copies (without the Key file) on Mega with it zipped and password protected.
Self custody is something you need to keep in practice. I use keepassXC everywhere.
Password Store + OpenKeychain with syncing using git (forgejo) works very well for me
Started with Bitwarden years ago, then I used 1password for a few months and now I'm using Keepassxc (Keepass2Android on my phone).
And I recommend everyone to use one. Not necessarily Keepass if they are not very tech savy (database synchronization can be a little bit tricky but not hard). Bitwarden was good too but Keepassxc supports adding ssh keys which is a big plus for me.
Adding generic attachments to a KeePass vault has come in handy.
Absolutely worth it. It's the only way to actually adhere to password best practices.
I've been using Safe In Cloud since 2012. I like it a lot.
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).
Got a lifetime key for Enpass something like a decade ago and it's been as good as I could ever need. I still rely heavily on autofill via Android & Firefox, but I treat Enpass as the backup to the backup, the one with every last password. I'm meticulous about updating it with every account, every updated password, etc. I also manage all of my wife's passwords as a separate vault.
Went LastPass (avoid) -> 1Password -> Bitwarden. Pretty happy with BW, as it has reasonable integrations on Android. Prior to that, i was using a UNIX tool called "pass", which used GPG and allow some degree of organization. I still use it for some stuff.
Bitwarden all day
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.
