I started with LastPass but they started making things difficult enough on the mobile side that I decided to jump ships. Bitwarden also is a smoother app to use - LastPass felt clunkier (I’ve used only the free side on both).
Use KeePass!! It’s an opensource, offline if you’d like, password manager that doesn’t trust any third party servers to manage your sensitive information. keepass.info
Yep. I’ll second this. I’ve used it for years and across many laptop changes, phone changes, etc. It’s painless but you’re also responsible for not losing everything.
I don’t know how someone can remember secure passwords without a password manager… My password manager 10 years ago was basically a text file. Moving to Bitwarden from LastPass the only thing I miss is easily creating a folder when saving a new credential.
They are totally necessary - if you don’t use the same passwords across the internet I mean.
How many accounts do you have on the web? I can count at least twenty accounts that I have and use from a variety of services. Keeping different usernames, emails (through alias) and passes in mind is no easy task, so a good password manager is absolutely needed.
People are recommending Bitwarden and I can’t say it’s bad, truly, it’s a really secure and private alternative. Although, in my opinion, keeping a offline safe for your accounts is way better because only you have the absolute control over all the credentials. I use KeePassDX on my PC and phone, synced by Synching, and being loving it for some years still.
Do you use something to automatically load the password from KeePass in the browser? I’ve been using KeePass for a few years bc I don’t trust cloud password storages but my work started using 1Password and the convenience of having the passwords kinda easy there for you on browser forms is really enticing.
I’ve been using 1password ever since it was first released on iOS and I gotta say it’s awesome! Whatever you use, stay far away from Lastpass … they are a security nightmare.
I can’t imagine not using a password manager. I am a long-time user of 1Password and have been very happy with the service and apps. I recommend it to everyone. Worth every penny and then some IMO.
