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.
Yeah, KeePassXC + SyncThing all day every day. Can’t in good conscience trust someone else with my sensitive data, even if I encrypt it before it gets to their servers. My database is keys-to-the-kingdom level shit.
This is the way.
This is the way.
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
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.
Bitwarden is really great imo.
A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.
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.
