Anybody serious about security wouldn't store vital passwords online in the first place. The convenience isn't worth it when whatever company is used gets hacked because an intern got phished.

on serious services wallets are encrypted using your master password, and unless you chose "password" you can be almost certain you won't get hacked even in case the company gets breached

All that promotion/awards tagging as best password manager for nothing. Glad I picked up KeyPassXC and KeyPassDX and sync between my phone and PC with gdrive

At first I was confused about why this was being downvoted, but then I noticed the "gdrive". You're using a different cloud to avoid this specific cloud.

After years as a family plan subscriber, I moved my personal (1k+) passwords off of LP after the last -- and most egregious -- breach. I have quite a bit self hosted in my environment but Proton Pass interests me as I can get my wife and son in it easily as we already have the family plan. Lemmy is loaded with tech savy, so my question is; same devil different form? I've tried BW but it wasn't condusive to the whole familys use (at least not a few years ago).

This is my problem. I have a family that includes several elderly people. It was a HUGE accomplishment to get them onto LastPass. Nothing more complicated than that’s going to work. Hell I do not want to take the time figure out any self hosting crap.

I’ve tried 1password and hated the UI.

Any other suggestions?

Is there any reason to use a password manager over just an excel spreadsheet?
