Using Bitwarden for password manager, Aegis for 2fa, been working great for me so far.

I use keepass and host the files "myself", means in my clouds, keepass droid is a nice adfree app, I just like to have control over my passwords after I read some articles about password "safes". It's a bit effort to setup, but since then works perfectly.

Bitwarden's browser extension is great, which is something I can not say about their mobile app which is slow and not very user friendly. It does, however, make my passwords safer since I tend to use random ones.

Another vote for Bitwarden!

Yeah I use Lastpass, it's very useful. I'd like to switch to something FOSS and locally encrypted, but honestly I've tried a couple times and never got it working properly, meanwhile Lastpass always works. I hate their blinding white UI lol.

Have been pleased with 1Password going on 5+ years with a family plan. Bitwarden is also a great consideration. Avoid LastPass.

Having a password manager is incredibly useful when someone dies and you need access to their accounts. I think bitwarden and probably others lets you grant emergency access to someone, definitely leaving it in my will.

I get 1Pass through work, and the ‘personal’ vault detaches if I ever leave my job. Super useful to have, to the point that using devices where I’m not logged in feels so much worse.

Using no password manager and a different password for every account would be the most secure option but most people (including me) would be too lazy for that. Instead I used to use the same password everywhere, which is obviously very unsafe. I then switched to Bitwarden, where I can just generate a secure password for each account and I can access them all with one password. I still need to remember only one password but it's a lot more secure than using the same one everywhere.

I toss my KeePass file (encrypted database) in Google Drive.

That way I have all the convenience of syncing through the cloud, but I also get the benefit of having my database access and database storage be managed by separate companies.

If Google has a breach and my data gets leaked, sucks, but the database is encrypted so I’m good. If KeePass encryption is broken, sucks, but attackers would also have to find a way to gain access to my Google Drive.

I would not recommend cloud based password manager. We all know what happened to LastPass. But locally encrypted ones are great. I love to use KeePassXC.

I'm probably going to get grilled for this but I've Been using Firefox's Saved passwords, I really don't need anything better.

I don't but I should even though my threat level is zero.

But then isn't a single point of failure a problem? I guess we use these to make life easier with strong passwords, but what if the cloud with sync gets leaked, or someone keylogs my pass manager then I lose all passwords not just those incidentally affected by a leak or hack?

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.

I pay for 1Password for families. Everyone except one person uses it. The person who doesn't use it is always getting locked out of his accounts....

I also use 1Password to store what information I've given a website. That's come in handy when I've needed to change my phone number, email, or credit card.

Does anyone have recommendation for a password manager that works well on both mobile and desktop? I browse with Firefox and while Lockwise is integrated into Firefox now and works fine on desktop, it's kind of 'eh on mobile in my opinion. It "works" but I find it to be fairly clunky and a lot of the time I need to open the Firefox app and just find the password in there and paste it in.

Does any other application work better for transferring passwords made on desktop to mobile more seamlessly? Looking for better detection of the user/pass via app or website.

I personally use pass, which uses gpg for encryption and can also use git repositories (I use it with my personal gitea instance).

I recommend one. Try to get one without a subscription. I bought the pro version of Enpass before they put up a subscription wall, and I've been riding that one ever since.

Keepass with syncthing is GOAT

I would love to use one, but to be honest, I have not found one that I trust, so far.

The perfect "password manager" would require 2FA, has some kind of "online backup" (cloud) that I can host myself and has to be open source. So far nothing really seems to offer all this.

KeePassX(C?) both on Windows and Linux. I used the windows version KeePass2 but there was a recent security vulnerability in it so I switched to KeePassX. Maybe it's already patched... auto-type doesn't seem to work in KeePassX on Windows so I might switch back but it's not that critical.
