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I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.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

japps13,

I like the Password for Nextcloud app. I self-host mine, but I think there might be Nextcloud instances that you can access. It is encrypted, and has an app for smartphones.

I’ve been using keepass for 10+ years now. I store it on a USB that is only connected to the internet when I plug it in.

bitwarden, proton pass,1password

Swarfega,

If you’re going through all your site’s changing passwords maybe take a look at simplelogin.io to also hide your email address. Some sites block you, which is ridiculous, but for the majority of sites it’s a good idea.

dgrabla,

Hummm am I the only one using ‘pass’ ?

You’re not alone

Schnaftator,

What I don’t like about pass is that every entry is visible in the file system. An attacker needs just a directory listing to know where I have accounts.

I use a mixture of Bitwarden and KeepassXC.

BW for most uses KP for things I only want local copies of ^^

burningmatches,

I just can’t get past the name of KeepAss…

Best not to think too hard on it

I use LastPass because my company pays for it, I also export to all of my browsers because LastPass doesn’t fill or save passwords right on some sites and the browser auto fill works better. Sometimes that means I have to search a bit for the right password for an account, but the system works and I haven’t had a compromised password that was my fault in a long time since I use autogenerated passwords. As always 2FA the important accounts.

jagoan,

If you’re comfortable around *nix stuff: pass. Open source, free forever, you can “host” it with Github private repo.

wuddupdude,

Love pass. Been using it for years. Although I’m not sure how you would get it to form fill and stuff, but I don’t need all that.

jagoan,

It has browser extension for Firefox and Chrome, iOS and Android app. On Mac it can even unlock the master password with touch id.

Personally the android app could be a lot better, although I’m not sure if it’s the app problem or just how Android handles password input from another app that needs fixing.

backshift0022,

As others say, Bitwarden checks all of those boxes, and KeepassXC technically doesn’t fit the “not self hosted” requirement, but you can store your database file in any cloud storage you want.

slimsalm,

Selfhosted or not, you can also make keepassxc portable with a usb drive.

Here is a old thread from redit explaining how to do it:

Dude… KeepassXC has portables for linux, there is no need to mess with wine or mono. As long as you have both portable versions of KeepassXC, you will not have a problem. You can totally have your database sync between OSs.

  • For Linux, just get the AppImage for the portable.
  • For Windows, get the Portable ZIP archive.
  • Shove them both into a USB, you have KeepassXC portable for both OSs on a stick.

Yea my smooth brain almost forgot my lemmy password lol. Hard to remember passwords when constantly depressed.

Christopher,

How about your login name? Hopefully your string of binary means something to you so it’s also memorable!

Shhh… It’s the secret to time travel! Or at least 1/3 of it.

Edit: Spoilers: It’s from

spoilerFuturama, Bender’s Big Score, the time code printed on Fry’s ass (yes, literally)

Christopher,

As long as it’s not also your password in reverse!

No my password is not in reverse, it’s in inverse. Hackers are so dumb, when I’m already playing 5d chess. 🤓

Christopher,

Be sure to invert it twice, to be extra secure. 🔐

hellequin67,

Now I don’t need to worry about forgetting passwords anymore

Only problem is now I don’t know any of my passwords, apart from master password for BW. 🤣

Norgur,

Chances are that I don't really care about the account if I used @duck.com as a mail alias and a bitwarden password which is the only constellation where an account might be unrecoverable without BitWarden.

TechieDamien,

pass would meet your requirements. It is a super simple implementation of a password manager levying PGP for encryption and git for syncing. You can therefore use any git server for syncing. There are browser extensions for autofill etc and scripts to import/export passwords etc.

Bitwarden is fantastic, been using it for a long time now withour complaints.

I self host bitwarden currently, but have been playing with the idea of using Vaultwarden instead, just haven’t gotten around to uprooting my working system.
