    I second the recommendation for Bitwarden.

    I switched over from Dashlane and never looked back. They even have a browser extension for mobile Firefox (the browser you should be using anyways) so it’s easy and convenient on all my devices.

      +1 for Bitwarden. There were growing pains at the start to move off of iCloud Keychain. Once done and being more proactive with managing passwords it’s so good and trustworthy

        Agreed. Bitwarden has been fantastic. I just wish it was easier to swap between accounts on the browser extension. You can do it on desktop and mobile pretty easily.

          First time using it you export your password data and move it into BW. Then browser extension can help auto fill and detect new ones. It also has a password generator built in so that’s handy

          Phone app can integrate and auto fill. On iPhone I’m not sure it if can detect and save. But the few times I’ve needed to sign up on phone I manually input.

          I still use Firefox password and iCloud saves when prompted. Doesn’t hurt to have a backup I suppose.

          I spent some time when I migrated from just storing my passwords in Chrome. I went through and made sure all of them were strong, unique passwords. I set up categories for all of them. I set it up so I could share the right ones with the family and whatnot.

          Doing the raw import is easy, but it was a good time to make sure everything was in order.

          The app is nice if you want to use bitwarden to login to other appa. You can allow it permission to run alongside other apps that can fill in login forms.

        I have never even got the mobile extension to work. When I set it up and enter in my email and master password, the Captcha that is supposed go show up is missing entirely. There is just a blank space under the password field where the Captcha is supposed to have appeared.

    Been using KeePassXC (and before that, KeePassX) since I abandoned LastPass about a decade ago. The apps integrate with Nextcloud perfectly and at least for me, it’s a breeze. I use it for TOTP too, and I second the recommendation of a hardware token for an additional layer of security. There are some USBc options that work on phones (I’m using a pixel 7 pro).

          I like the look of KeePassDX but I was bothered by the fact that I have to use the yubikey every single time to unlock the database, unlike keepass2android which allows me to store the yubikey credential with biometric lock until the phone restarts. Keepass2android is not as nice of an app but that feature was really required for me.

            KeepPassXC can do this as well, but it does require the yubikey to be inserted every time you want to save a change to the database.

            Look under Settings -> Security -> Convenience -> Enable database quick unlock (Touch ID/Windows Hello)

            Using that I can quick-unlock my database using my laptop’s fingerprint scanner, just like how KeepPassDX works on Android.

              its not a huge issue on KeePassXC because I keep a yubikey nano plugged into my laptop, but for my phone, I haven’t been able to make this work reliably with KeePassDX. I’ll have to give it another go.

                Ah yeah you are right, it makes me tap my key every time I open the app.

                The biometrics seem to only replace the master password.

                I do wish it worked more like KeePassXC where the key is only needed to save the database after unlocking and confirming with fingerprint

      I’m curious about using the same store for passwords and TOTP. Technically if someone gets screwed to your database, they have both your factors, yes? But I guess it does thwart someone trying to brute force your password.

        Adding a hardware key, like Nitrokey, would be an additional level of safety there. I would not use the database without some kind of additional key (something you know and something you physically have).

        If there’s something nefarious that has user access, you’ve already lost in that regard.

        Technically you do lose the second factor, but nowadays 2FA is often mandatory or they force some crap like SMS/email verification onto you. If you are aware of the risk then it isn’t a huge deal.

        Though you might want to consider not using it at least for the most important stuff like banking (here you don’t even have an option; banks have their own 2FA apps that you have to use) and primary/recovery email.

    Bitwarden - does everything, and is free. You can even setup a shared vault so 2 people can have access to shared stuff like online shopping and streaming sites. Takes a bit of admin work but it is not hard.

        Just send a photograph of your screen showing the requested password of 25 random characters so they have to type it out. Guaranteed their next question will be where they sign up for an account.

        Ya I think so. These are always tech articles and Foss software is always a big feature.

        But 1password has on going audits and a sane ui and mobile apps that pass the boomer-parent test. Canadian company too which is nice given the US centric tech world.

        Fastmail integration for masked emails! If you already have an email provider you like then yeah not much to offer. But if you’re like me a few years ago and was looking to get off of chromes password manager and gmail, then 1password and fastmail is a nice combo.

          Bitwarden has integration with Fastmail, as well as for many other alias services (anon addy, SimpleLogin, etc). They also just added support for selfhosted anon addy, and are working on adding support for self hosted SimpleLogin.

        Which personally I think does a disservice to their readers. If their article ends up high in search results for “best password manager 2023” for whatever reason, most people aren’t going to care if there’s a source available client or not.

        Dash lane and 1Password might not have source available clients but they likely have better UI/UX than these more open source alternatives that are made for people with technical expertise.

      Same. We’ve been using it for about a decade I think. One vault for my wife and I to share. Hosted on their end in case all our self hosted stuff takes a crap our passwords are still available. Been considering looking at bitwarden but haven’t had the time.

        I can personally recommend 1Password, the Windows Hello integration works really well. Asks for your PIN code to unlock (or your master password after a reboot). If you put your computer to sleep rather than turn it off overnight, you won’t need the full master password.

        Also, if you’re so inclined, 1P has an excellent CLI tool you can use for accessing vaults programmatically. I use this for auto filling TOTP codes for my Final Fantasy XIV login.

      Being proprietary is enough reason for it to be avoided, imo. I would say that about any software but especially something as critical as password management. I would only trust software I have the four freedoms with for that.

    Proton Pass pisses me off. Proton is such a money grubbing company that takes FOREVER to release stuff.

    I pay $120 per year for ProtonMail, and they want me to pay $180 to unlock the full Proton Pass. $60 per year, for something that BitWarden does for only $12 per year.

    Not to mention you’ll be waiting years for apps to come out. They’re such a fragmented company. The Android remake is already so far past the estimated release date it’s sad. Proton Drive Windows app finally came out, but fuck Mac and Linux users, I guess.

    BitWarden is available for Windows, Linux, Mac, 9 browsers, iOS, Android, and CLI. - Premium is $1/month.

    ProtonPass is available for iOS, Android, and 4 browsers. - Premium is $5/month.

    Can’t wait for Proton to release a few more half baked services with outdated apps and a promise to update them in a year, but then 3 years later there’s still radio silence. Perhaps use your paid services money for developing in a timely manner? Holy shit.

    I made a hardware-based password manager that I keep on me with the 3-2-1 rule. (One on me, one at home, one in a remote location) It’s barely-secure, but the data is not accessible except when I’m updating it. It’s similar to the mooltipass but all the passwords are stored on eeprom.

    Could the eeprom be hacked by someone and all my passwords probably read in cleartext? Yeah. How many fucking people actually know how to do that though? Virtually none.

    Honestly, I’d love to just simply be able to afford a mooltipass though. :(

    This is what I based my personal one on: https://www.instructables.com/PasswordPump-Passwords-Manager/

    And I usually generate the passwords with an online tool so that I’m never using the same password twice.

      That’s a lot of trouble to go into to have questionable security. Though it’s admittedly really cool.

      I guess this is only great if you have to use potentially compromised computers often, so you are risking leaking at most a single password at a time, but still…

      Unlike a proper password manager this still has issues though; for one, saving in cleartext is just bad, reading EEPROMs is trivial, and (perhaps more importantly) unlike a normal password manager this doesn’t protect you against inputting data on a wrong (phished) domain.
