What password manager do you recommend?

Okay so yesterday, I changed my password as a precaution because of the hack, and just now I decided to clean my browser tabs and re login and almost forgot my password. I’m done dealing with passwords.

What password manager do you recommend?

Features I’m looking for

-Open Source

-Can be synced to cloud (I don’t want self host)

-Can be accessed via a browser

-Cross platform, the more platforms, the better

-End to End Encrypted, and Encrypted at rest on my device, also need some way to authenticate before releasing the password, like a pin or biometrics

-Autofill for browser and apps

-Free (can be a freemium model, but I need the base tier to be free, too broke to spend money on this lol)

-Can export the passwords to a file

I never used a password manager before so sorry if I seem like a noob.

I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.

Edit: Woah, those replies are fast. I think I’ll use Bitwarden. Thanks for recommendations! Now I don’t need to worry about forgetting passwords anymore. 😄

Edit 2: It seems I’ve forgotten my email password as well as a few other accounts I haven’t logged into for a while. Damn, should’ve used a password manager earlier.

Currently using bitwarden. Moved over from LastPass. Free and works on browser plus mobile. Like it so far.

smallpanther,

I’ve been using Google’s password manager mainly for convenience but had been looking to switch for a while, this thread made up my mind to switch to Bitwarden!

Trapping5341,

Made the same switch in October last year. Glad I made the switch. My work phone is an iphone and I don’t generally use personal things on there but I do sometimes and being able to just login to bitwarden and sign into all my stuff is great. At first the switch sucks because my god did I personally have so many accounts but as you go it gets easier and easier. I recommend it to everyone and generally just get weird looks lol

SeaOtter,

Thanks for this! I have been using iCloud Keychain for a while and was generally satisfied. However, it wasn’t until I recently switched from desktop Safari to Arc that I considered a third party password manager, but was stuck in decision paralysis.

Given the overwhelming responses in this post, BitWarden it is!

andreluis034,

I think bitwarden fills all of your requirements.

openssl and a text file

Password-store if you are really fancy

Online password manager GTFO never ever doing that.

I use password safe desinged by Bruce Schneier, it’s legit AF, pwsafe.org

mojo,

Do you not need to sign in to your accounts from different devices? Not to mention autofill support is a big deal, hence why browser addons are so important. The other password managers are plenty secure, especially with 2fa and webauth which that app certainly is not going to have.

cokane_88,

The convenience factor is not there but you probably sacrifice security for the conveniences. Browser add-on is something else that can get hacked.

mojo,

What do you do for a living where you somehow don’t need mobile autofill? Do you not leave the house?

cokane_88,

I used do cyber security for a fortune 500, that’s where I got exposed to that password manager. Now I don’t work, stay at home dad aka house manager.

magicalbeast69,

Why are online password manager bad? Sure, the risk is obviously higher than the offline one, but online password manager would be sufficient for most people. Convenient outweigh for like 99.99% of people. Even if there is a data breach, passwords’ hashes are not easy to crack, even if you know the salt. The only way to crack it is that you reuse password. So, as long as you use strong enough master password, it’ll most likely be fine.

Also, if you care about security, you’ll also probably be using TOTP 2FA anyway. So unless, TOTP secret is leaked at the same time as your password, then you are fine.

That’s a breach they told the public about. What’s worse is when a company gets breached and they don’t know it happened or it takes them years to find out. I’d rather step on my own ding ding than put my credentials online.

For important things Keepass (which I sync in Onedrive). For casual things whatever the browser offers… or some random long password and password reset ._.

Tom_bishop,

Used to love LastPass, then it charge expansive for pc and android multi device. I’m too looking for better pm.

Socialphilosopher,

You can use SafeInCloud.

gclawson,

What’s people’s thoughts on Dashlane?

restingboredface,

I used it for a while. It was okay but I got frustrated with some of the UI on Desktop. It struggled to recognize a lot of website password forms so I had to do a lot of manual login entry (even if it was copy paste it was still a pain). I really liked having a desktop app that didn’t require a browser but they stopped supporting it, which was the last thing I was staying for so I dropped it for Keeper, then One Password.

With all that said, it’s one of few pm tools that made it super easy to share passwords securely (more than keeper or Onepassword) , and it was pretty seamless to share logins for household stuff like Netflix and our mortgage servicer. My husband hated using though since he had his own system that preferred using, but used dashlane for things we shared.

Kyrgizion,

My brain. Comes up with the whackiest excuses for why this-and-that password would be a great choice and how easy it would be to remember, only to later explain to me rationally why it was the wrong choice and how I should’ve known I’d forget it. Then again, that’s just extra security. If it’s only stored in my internal memory and even I can’t remember it, no one else is getting in for sure.
