Bitwarden because it's open-source and cheap. 1password is more expensive, and LastPass is dead. Some people say that you should store your recovery codes in another manager like KeePassXC to enhance the security.

[–] Greatsell025@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

+1 for Bitwarden. Has plenty of free features and a subscription is cheap.

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

Same here. Bite arden is great, better than Dashlane and it's FOSS.

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

Is there a way to port passwords from Apple Passwords to Bitwarden? I’d love to migrate but can’t seem to figure out how.

[–] JayPalm@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, I believe you can export passwords from Safari. It’s a little bit Janky, but doable. I think you have to go to Safari’s version of the keychain manager and there’s a button somewhere that lets you create an Excel sheet.

Bitwarden. 100%

[–] supermurs@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

I use Bitwarden.

[–] AperiOperimentum@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

1password. I’m keeping a close eye on Apple’s own keychain stuff. It sure seems like they’re moving toward a password manager app of sorts. Once that happens, then I’ll probably jump ship from 1password as it’s getting expensive, and I don’t love 1password 8.

[–] WestyFlyer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Couldn’t agree more with this. 1Password 8 is so bad and frustrating while apples product is looking more and more enticing. Especially with shared passwords.

[–] simplelifelfk@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I've not found that to be the case. It's been bullet proof for me. I plan on sticking with it.

[–] formatc@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What problems are you having? Been pretty flawless for me.

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

Slowness (although I have a pre-M series MacBook Pro), the search functionality and the ability to view my different vaults on the side were both tweaked in a way that I feel it requires significantly more time and effort to get to what I need.

[–] formatc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Fair enough. I’m in PC and only using two vaults.

Used Bitwarden for years across various devices. It’s reliable and just works for me.

[–] Nothingwise@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Bitwarden for password management and Raivo OTP for 2FA\MFA.

Fantastic, lightweight, open source, and secure.

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

Raivo looks nice, I've been using authy for a long time. To sync all my authenticators since I used to swap phones often.

Shame its ios only.

Bitwarden is the best bang for buck.

[–] Markusxc@mastodon.social 2 points 1 year ago

@hadek @Nothingwise 2FAS is Open Source and on Android

[–] RXN@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

KeepassXC (Strongbox on iOS) + Syncthing to keep database in sync across all devices.

[–] TjenaViktor@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

1Password for my personal stuff, but Bitwarden st work. 1Password is a far nice experience imo, even on version 8.

But as someone else said: holding out for Apple to do standalone key chain and would likely switch then.

KeepassXC on desktop and KeePassium on iOS. No vendor/cloud lock in and can pick how you sync the database.

[–] TheTechNerd6789@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Keychain and Bitwarden

[–] chiisana@lemmy.chiisana.net 5 points 1 year ago

1Password since like 1Password 3 days; early adopters family plan right now. I’m not a huge fan of the new 1Password extension on iOS, but on the Mac front, it’s treating me well. I don’t think I’ll jump to Apple native keychain until feature parity is reached.

[–] Shrinra@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I currently use Strongbox on macOS and iOS. While it is definitely a product tailored to more advanced users, it is still easy to use IMO, and there's currently no better option for those who want a native Mac app built exclusively for the Mac. There's no proprietary cloud storage like popular commercial password managers (you can use iCloud, OneDrive, Dropbox, WebDAV, transfer over your local network, etc.), and it uses KeePass, so there is no lock in either. Additionally, if you suffer from subscription fatigue, there's an option to purchase a lifetime license. I love it, and would recommend the product to those who are on Apple platforms. It doesn't have all of the features of 1Password just yet, but the developer is very responsive, and it is getting better all of the time.

I switched over from 1Password, as I was not very impressed with the direction they were heading. 1Password 7 is better in every way compared to 1Password 8, IMO. Also, moving from AppKit to Electron for their Mac app was simply not acceptable to me either, and there was no way I was ever going to pay an annual subscription for the "pleasure" of using it. I only ever paid up because of their high quality apps, and when that was no longer the focus, I was out.

KeepassXC on desktop, KeepassDX on Android.

Syncthing to keep it in sync

Edit: Just saw what subreddit this was in, i used Strongbox when I used an iPhone

[–] jonno@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Dream on. Doesn’t seem to be a priority at all, sadly

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

BitWarden and Apple’s keychain. However, passkeys are the future. Once you’ve used one you’ll understand how much worse passwords are.

[–] Cotillion189@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On iphone KeePassium, on pc Keepass.

[–] echoplex21@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’m on 1Password from ease of use with work. Wondering if I should switch to Bitwarden to save a few bucks.

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

Nice try, Mr. Hackerman!

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

I’m using Keeper as it works across devices and has been sanctioned by the government via fedramp. It’s kind of expensive so if someone wants to talk me out of using keeper, please do.

[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A mix of KeePassXC and Keychain (until there's a KeePassXC extension for Safari on macOS)

[–] jonno@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Dream on. Doesn’t seem to be a priority at all, sadly. I switched to KeePassium

I was a longtime LastPass user until they nerfed the free accounts (I was a paid account holder, but i disagreed with the change) and have been using Bitwarden since.

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

I switched from lastpass to 1Password shortly after they sold to logmein or whatever. I have lately been eyeing the whole suite offered by https://proton.me

I would entertain the idea of using Apple keychain, but I am really hooked on password sharing with the family. Have not seen a good implementation from Apple yet, but maybe it is on the way (or I missed it!).

[–] 7oidberg@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Strongbox (KeePass client) on all my devices. Synced via iCloud. Works flawlessly. Supports native password autofill on Mac and iOS, so it works in Safari and everywhere else. No plugins necessary.

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

Google sheets

[–] bmck@lemmy.bmck.au 1 points 1 year ago

I have never had any trouble with 1Password. But with Apple bringing support for 3rd party browsers, I might be tempted to switch to that. https://www.macrumors.com/2023/07/12/macos-sonoma-apple-passwords-third-party-browsers/

[–] Laksefar@feddit.dk 1 points 1 year ago

1Password but considering trying Bitwarden and host it myself. I do trust 1Password and have no reason to leave them other than the paranoia still lingering from when I had all my stuff at LastPass
