Bitwarden all the way. Self hosted too.
However, I really wish they would steal the look and feel and custom document types they do over at 1Password. I moved from 1Password to Bitwarden a while ago but really miss the sexy look and feel of 1Password. Bitwarden is very "linux-y"
Bitwarden for the general stuff. Keepass for the sensitive stuff
Good. Used keepass for years, also useful for storing other confidential info. Put the app & vault in one cloud storage, key file in another and you’re synced across multiple computers, add an app for your phone and you’re good to go and surely reasonable secure providing you use a long password too.
Password managers are as important as adblockers in this day and age imo
Yes yes yes and here is a tip so even if your account got hacked you are still safe, when you generate a password put that into your password manager but have a word in your mind and when you are making an account or changing password put that word that you had in your mind in the end of your password, you just need one word to memorize and that's it (sorry for my bad English)
I used KeePass for ages, but I could never get my wife to use it, too. Updating and using and synching it wasn't a big hassle, but it was enough of one to let my wife reject it, especially with plugins that needed updating. Another issue we had was that sharing passwords wasn't really convenient. I set up a Vaultwarden instance on our server and now she's happily using the password manager (finally!) and we can have an "oganization" to share passwords with. Really cool stuff. Besides, we ain't needing and plugins anymore.
The ability to interface with DuckDuckGo's Mail-Forwarding-API has further increased the control of my data in a very convenient way!
The only thing I miss from KeePass is the ability to auto-type inside of other applications besides the browser, but hey, that's not too much of an issue.
I appreciate Enpass because it allows me to decide where my data is stored while simultaneously synchronizing across all my devices. It's quite impressive. Now, they have incorporated Wi-Fi sync, which eliminates the need for cloud-based synchronization.
I'm trying out Bitwarden after moving to a Sony phone (my Samsungs came with their inbuilt password manager) however it keeps asking for a master password all the time. Is that normal?
You can enable biometrics, if your device has a fingerprint sensor. If the phone doesn't have one, you can setup a PIN for easy unlock.
Both are available in the settings.
I'm probably an ignorant paranoid about them, I know I should google a bit of them, but instead I'm going for the ol' trusty ask the community.
Do they save your passwords locally or in the cloud? If locally, what if I want to sign in in another device? What if I lose the device I have my passwords on? What if they hack my device? If in the cloud: How can I know the service is not stealing my information? If I can access it anywhere, wouldn't that mean it also needs a password? Wouldn't that make it twice as unsafe as it would only take one password to access the rest?
Edit: Damn, I got extremely useful answers, I'm starting to like lemmy!
