I'm using KeePass currently, since I don't really want to use anything publicly hosted. But I was curious to see what other people have been using!

Seems most people are recommending Bitwarden! Is it free to selfhost? I'm new to selfhosting but I'd love to give this a shot.

Bitwarden. I've used a bunch of password managers, Bitwarden has been by far the best for me.

The mobile, desktop, and web app are all awesome and work great.

Self-hostable, open source, great feature set. Pricing is super reasonable for their cloud hosted features. Ui is simple, clean, makes sense, and so far I've had zero issues with syncing, saving, etc.

IMO, it's a great example of a FOSS application that looks and functions as good or better than the nicest closed source proprietary software.

This. Love Bitwarden

[-] Jagermo@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago

The passphrase generator is the best thing. Yes, I know, I should never see/need the password in clear text, but when you have to login onto something on your TV, it's nice to have words that make sense.

Definitely Bitwarden

[-] SHamblingSHapes@lemmy.one 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

BitWarden in personal life. Recently discovered my corporate overlords approve KeePass (no synching to my phone though). I'm pumped to have literally any pw vault solution.

No joke, 25% of the people in my office have a sticky note on the bottom of their keyboards. I do the odd security audit and I always check.

I started using Bitwarden a few years ago and it's been excellent.

[-] kawaii_black_mass@lemmy.one 14 points 2 years ago

Bitwarden user here. I used to use LastPass, but it's hard to beat free software that does the same thing just as well.

[-] Equinox@lemmy.one 14 points 2 years ago

I have been using Bitwarden for a long time and never regretted it. If I wanted to have an offline password manager I would look to KeePassXC.

[-] Milarepa_07@lemmy.one 13 points 2 years ago

I’m also using Bitwarden currently.

[-] lemmy_lunger@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

bitwarden has been great, no complaints!

[-] darkfoe@lemmy.serverfail.party 12 points 2 years ago

I've been happy with Bitwarden thus far. Used Lastpass back in the day, but migrated over when the renewal prices started creeping up.

[-] emzzy@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I use KeePassXC (KeePassDX on mobile) synced via SyncThing for sensitive/important logins, and Bitwarden for practically everything else.

[-] fouc@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

KeePassXC synced across my devices with syncthing

Self hosted Vaultwarden. It's great.

[-] AwkwardPenguin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Bitwarden! Used to use LastPass but I'm glad I migrated a few years back. I prefer bitwarden now. It's easy to set up, use and multi platform.

[-] sunaurus@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

I'm a huge fan of 1Password. Previously used pass for years, but there are many ways in which 1Password is more convenient, especially when it comes to sharing secrets with friends/family/colleagues.

I'm just on bitwarden, I was using keepass for awhile but getting the vault moved between devices was a pain, even with syncthing. If it got desynced it was a pain to fix

Bitwarden here. Was also a LastPass user. Switched when I retired so I did not have to worry about still keeping any old accounts from work. P.s. Also I like that I can have Bitwarden sync on my phone and my laptop.

[-] rstein@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 years ago

Started with Lastpass, but migrated to Bitwarden because of open source. And then came the trouble at Lastpass.

[-] r00t@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

Bitwarden is the way to go. Used LastPass years ago when they suddenly switched to the paid model, then they could get fucked. Been with Bitwarden and haven't looked back (or around for alternatives, super happy)

[-] Whooping_Seal@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

I know a bunch of people here have mentioned Bitwarden, but I would like to mention one feature that makes it superior to all others. You can integrate it to services like SimpleLogin, AnonAddy, Firefox Relay, DDG etc. and auto-generate email aliases within the Bitwarden extension. In theory it is more secure to not do this but it is such a huge QoL feature to just hit the randomize button in the extension to create an alias for a new login. It also populates the info field on simplelogin with something along the lines of "Auto-Generated by Bitwarden for: [website]"

Firefox sync. The service syncs between your actual devices. Nothing is stored online. There is a catch. Everything is encrypted using your password. So if you forget your password, you lose all your passwords.

I sync between my Linux desktop (OpenSuse Tumblweed), my Android phone, and my Steamdeck.

[-] odseey@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

keepassxc + syncthing for syncing the database across devices.

Bitwarden. It works on iOS, windows and Linux.

[-] RemeJuan@readit.buzz 7 points 2 years ago

Been with 1Password for a few years now, coming from LostPassword. I feel it strikes a balance with the whole being secure and being convenient.
