I've been using KeePass and KeePassdroid for at least 10 years now. "Sync" my dB through one drive, only because at one time we were allowed to use our personal one at work, but since they blocked personal folders in favor of corporate ones it is much less handy.
KeePassXC and Nextloud to sync things between devices…
I’m currently hosting Vaultwarden, an implementation of Bitwarden. It’s working perfectly so far.
Enpass. I sync my vault with my Nextcloud, but it would also work completely offline or with direct-sync between my devices.
NextCloud
Maybe a tangent, but what are the security implications of a password manager? It seems like it would replace many individual things that can go kinda wrong with one big single point of failure, which frightens me 😆
Happy to be wrong though. They definitely seem convenient.
You have a point there. But if you use a password manager with strong encryption, 2fa etc. you can minimize the risk somewhat. I came to the conclusion that the benefits of using extremely long, secure passwords outweigh the risks if you follow all the best practices. Plus the added comfort.
This line of reasoning kept me away from password managers for a while, but I've been using Bitwarden for almost a year now, and I could never go back.
You're technically right, but a better way to look at it is that it reduces your surface of attack from many weak points, down to one, very strong and secure point (assuming you use a reasonably strong password for your vault, and don't log into your vault on public networks or anything like that).
But at the end of the day, using a password manager is vastly superior to relying on your memory, which is what many people still do.
Dashlane. I need a service where I can share/manage things for my elderly parents, and Dashlane is easier for that after LastPass became a dumpster fire
Keepass 2 on Windows Keepass2Android on phone & tablet with the file on DropBox
Bitwarden after lastpass started charging for the same service
I use pass but recommend Bitwarden when people ask for a recommendation.
When using pass, if you have a lot of devices and forget to sync at times you better know at least basic git lol.
I use pass as well and acknowledge it's not for everyone. For me, the lack of automatic synchronization is a feature though, I don't feel comfortable having all my passwords on my phone in case it gets stolen.
If you don't mind I'm going to re-post my question I asked mori
Do you use pass on any mobile devices & do you find the need to use any of the browser extensions made for it? I am just looking at it right now and it seems really fascinating I will say.
I only ask since I am currently a bitwarden user but I am not against trying something new, and it does look quite interesting. thanks in advance!

Well, ahem, I use index-cards in a box. Never looses batteries - totally hack-proof !
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.
Using Keeper at the moment. I used to use 1password, then moved to Bitwarden. Using keeper now because my employer has licensing to give each employee a personal account and a business account for free. So, basically I'm just taking advantage of that.
Bitwarden here too
I have been on Bitwarden for about 8 years now. Paid for it about 7 years ago. I LOVE it. I also use KeePassXC On my Linux box and for work - That's a great platform for anything that requires even more security (Work, Security focused websites, etc)
I've been using Bitwarden, but the second proton releases proton pass to the public I'll try to switch
1Password. Wasn't thrilled with their move to electron, but it hasn't been as bad as I feared, and they've earned my trust at this point
Doesn't hurt that my work now uses it, so I get the family plan for free either
Has anyone tried Proton Pass?
KeepassXC and Keepass2Android
self hosted passbolt is very convenient, didn't see more secure alternatives. The only bad thing is that it cannot save TOTPs currently
Have you looked into vaultwarden? That supports TOTPs
