Bitwarden all day

[–] Joped@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I've been using 1password ever since it was first released on iOS and I gotta say it's awesome! Whatever you use, stay far away from Lastpass ... they are a security nightmare.

[–] dasprii@lemmy.froztbyte.dev 3 points 2 years ago

As the rest of this thread seems to be saying, yeah Bitwarden seems to be the way to go. I've been using it for years and it's way too convenient not to have (not to mention the security benefits).

[–] Defaced@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I just use the chrome password manager, works great and seamlessly transitions from Android to desktop. I used to use KeePass, but the convenience of the built in tools in chrome just works really well, especially after moving over from iOS.

[–] somethingisnotwrite@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Keeper is a fantastic zero knowledge password manager. Once I started using keeper, I never looked back.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Yes. 1Password. If and when they fuck up, I'm going self-hosted.

[–] Peeko@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I've had enough friends and family members lose access to critical accounts due to things like changing phone numbers, and relying on auto-signin until their cookies get cleared, that I've begun just recommending password managers to everyone.

But alas, most don't listen.

[–] Clipboards@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Currently a Bitwarden user at both home & at work. Picked up some Teams licenses for my department earlier this year - Password Managers are absolute essentials for next of kin & for successors at work.

[–] jg1i@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] ChaRRdude33@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Absolutely necessary In the current times. Be it for peace of mind or to free space in the mind. I've been using Bitwarden for over 5 years and I will never look back. The only password I know is the master password of the vault and don't have to worry about the tens of other stored in there.

The yourselves a favour and just go for it. It will be a million times better.

[–] renaldo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Password Store + OpenKeychain with syncing using git (forgejo) works very well for me

[–] Koma52@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Started with Bitwarden years ago, then I used 1password for a few months and now I'm using Keepassxc (Keepass2Android on my phone).

And I recommend everyone to use one. Not necessarily Keepass if they are not very tech savy (database synchronization can be a little bit tricky but not hard). Bitwarden was good too but Keepassxc supports adding ssh keys which is a big plus for me.

I know a lot of people are saying Bitwarden, but I've been using 1Password for 4 years and Bitwarden just isn't a viable replacment.

1Password looks much more modern and their organizational tools are not present at all in Bitwarden. I can't even sort by date created or modified in Bitwarden.

Not using a password manager is like not having locks on a house. Everyone should have one and if you don't, you're risking a lot of valuable stuff being taken from you.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I really like bitwarden personally. Its open source and works pretty well for my needs

[–] lemminer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Self custody is something you need to keep in practice. I use keepassXC everywhere.

[–] SharkyPants@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I would recommend one but I have always been wery about sending password data through the internet to be stored on some companies server. So I put in the effort to host my own Vaultwarden docker instance through TrueNas scale (True charts) on my home server and access it via a VPN tunnel (Wireguard). It's very complicated to setup compared to a web service but this way I own all of my password data locally. The android app (Bitwarden) works alright but sometimes it has trouble understanding what is a login screen and you have to force fill things. Vaultwarden as a docker instance works great. The only time this setup needs to be on VPN is to save a new password. Using existing passwords seem to be cached on my device.

I've been using Safe In Cloud since 2012. I like it a lot.

[–] RobinFood@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I’ve been using Bitwarden for years and also use the Apple password manager on my phone and iPad so I have a copy in case something happens.

I also keep some less sensitive work passwords on chrome because I don’t want to open Bitwarden at work.

[–] floppingfish@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I've used Keepass or Keepass XC for years. They are great!

[–] IAmBread@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 years ago

And, since KP is offline, you don't have the same security risks as the cloud hosted password managers. If you were really paranoid, you could put your KP database file on a USB so it's never online.

Plus, even if someone were to somehow acquire a current version of your database file, it's heavily encrypted. By the time they crack it you should've changed your passwords anyway.

I use gpg to encrypt my passwords with my public key. Benefit is that adding credentials to a new file doesn't require me to type the master password (password for private key). I trust gpg the most for security.
