    But don’t use lastpass, they are the most popular, and with the largest breach history. In fact, if you are capable of the admittedly high bar of self hosting, use bit warden instead.

      This is exactly why I don’t want to use a password manager. Storing all my passwords in one place online doesn’t exactly sound secure.

        I would rather recommend using KeepassXC, and storing and syncing the database with your other devices using Syncthing. Supereasy to set up, and works flawlessly with my pc and my phone.

        KeepassXC has nice features like global autotype btw, so for webpages i can insert my payment information with one hotkey. no need to save your CC in your browser.

        Right? I’m right with you. I keep a password book I can lock up in the safe. No online hacker can get to that.

          I use a pattern relative to the site name, with a different email address for every site also relative to the site name. The pattern means the password is always different but I always know that it is.

        1Password is an option. It’s all stored in one place, sure. But you need the encryption key and password to access it. No one but you has that key, and if you lose/forget it you lose your passwords forever. Not even the company can recover your passwords from that.

        For 99% of people an online password manager like Bitwarden or LastPass is going to significantly help them manage passwords securely despite the risks associated with cloud services. Most people can’t handle self hosting Bitwarden or syncing a Keepass database by themselves. Without an easy to access and easy to use online option people will revert to significantly riskier methods like password reuse or using some sort of repeatable/guessable pattern.

        For the 1% of people who want more security there are options like Vaultwarden or Keepass. Even then it’s not uncommon to make mistakes and lose data/access or leave some sort of vulnerability exposed. The attack surface is a lot smaller than a public service though which is beneficial.

      Vaultwarden, typically, because it’s fully free and more resource efficient. But bitwarden as the client of course.
