Bitwarden, all the way. On my mobile devices, laptops, etc.
I used to use KeePass but the UI is so antiquated and features also just haven't kept up. Bitwarden free, open source, audited, syncs and works everywhere flawlessly, and I can self host if I ever want to. It's great.
well, for an average user like me, I never really understood the advantages of a paid version. What did you convince you to pay for it, besides helping the developers?
I haven't :) I think for most users the free version is everything they need. For $1 or $3 (depending on the tier) you get the ability to store and encrypt files instead of just passwords and text notes, etc. More on that here: https://bitwarden.com/pricing/
My girlfriend made an account as soon as I mentioned that we could be each others emergency contacts, which is the feature we hope never to use, but it is great knowing that we got it covered.
I use Google Cloud to sync my PC/Android(KeePass2Android).
I am looking to try KeePassDX, but I don't see an option to connect/open a google cloud. Idk if i am missing something or if it us just unsupported.
Yes! Keepass2. My database is stored on my OneDrive so I have the same database on alle my devices. If I decide to cancel my OneDrive, I can easily migrate my passwords to another cloud host.
1Password because we’re an Apple household (aside from my work laptop, and even then it’s easy enough to use through the web interface). The main thing that irks me about it is that they keep offering discounts for new subscribers but longtime users have to keep paying the full price. But I’ve been considering switching to Proton for email, and they’re in the process of rolling out a password manager that seems similar so I may be switching to that sooner rather than later.
+1 for 1Password. I used and loved Bitwarden but there’s a few things that 1Password can do, especially on PC, that Bitwarden can’t. IMO it’s worth the extra $20ish dollars a year.
But since there’s no free tier, I do recommend Bitwarden to folks who don’t use one since their free tier is fantastic.
I switched my workplace to 1Password and I moved from Dashlane at the same time. One thing that's nice about 1P from that perspective is that our plan gives everyone a free personal account that they could take with them if they left the company (they'd have to pay for it themselves at that point of course).
Usability is the best of any password manager I've used, but the killer feature for us as a development team was the flexibility. Being able to assign the same credentials to multiple URLs (e.g. dev, stage, QA, prod) was just not possible with everything else we looked at the time.
I used to use 1Password standalone, but they moved away from it and started only selling password management as a service and I really didn't want that, so I'm running Bitwarden now on a private VaultWarden instance for myself and my wife. It's been great and is a good option if you want to run your own platform and not use Dropbox or other third party cloud storage or platforms for the data. Obviously, you're then responsible for backing the data up, etc., but I like the flexibility and data ownership of it.
I use KeePassXC in my linux desktop, KeePassDX in my android smartphone and syncthing-fork/syncthing to sync modifications between all devices. The encrypted database (long passphrase generated with Diceware method) never goes online. I also use yubikeys and multi factor auth for all important accounts
Bitwarden. I left LastPass about 3 years ago and haven’t looked back. I pay for bitwarden so I can use the TOTP feature and because i can’t wrap my head around the recovery process for my wife if something were to happen to me. I think another, more technically fluent human will need to be involved if that ever comes to pass.
pass
I like the fact that it is a minimal and simple program that does one thing, and does it well. If you already use GnuPG for encryption, you will get used to it quickly.
The only downside for me is that it doesn't encrypt password names, only the content.
It also has many plugins and android/ios apps.
I would like to highlight the browserpass extension for Chrom(e|ium) and Firefox (and derivatives) which allows you to enter credentials into web pages without having to copy from a terminal.
