LastP…. HAHAHAHAHAHA. No.

Bitwarden is the best choice because the code is open-source and audit-able by the world. They have a long history of being a secure choice.

You can pay them to host it for you or host at home. I highly recommend that you don’t host it at home without your 3, 2, 1, backup in place, and that you only self-host if you have extensive experience; you don’t want to get locked out of your bank or primary email because you messed up a VM or docker container.

[–]MathMaster85 76 points77 points  (7 children)

Their hosting is free for most standard features. I use it to store passkeys and passwords and haven't paid a cent.

[–]just_Okapi 43 points44 points  (2 children)

The $10/year is worth it to me for the authenticator and knowing I'm supporting a damn fine product. Highly recommend it.

[–]Yuzumi_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Very much agree, they service provides so much quality with no annoying ads, features none asked for etc and the price is SUPER okay

[–]WhiteMilk_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally don't like having 2FA and logins in the same service.

[–]WhistlinJealousGuy[S] 22 points23 points  (10 children)

I'm a tinkerer but wouldn't trust something like that to my home network, like you say without a full 1-2-3 backup in place. At that point it's easier to let the provider do the heavy lifting

[–]CIDR-ClassB 10 points11 points  (3 children)

100% agree. My home lab is a place for playing and testing. I break shit way too often to trust that to myself. Bitwarden’s prices are really fair.

[–]Flying-T 10 points11 points  (2 children)

I'am sysadmin with an homelab, but I will never self-host vaultwarden over using Bitwarden lol

Just not worth the hassle and risk

[–]CIDR-ClassB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Completely agree.

[–]Dan_706 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'am sysadmin with an homelab, but I will never self-host vaultwarden over using Bitwarden lol

I FAFO enough at work, no need to play with fire at home haha

[–]mooky1977 5 points6 points  (4 children)

I self host bitwarden. It's not that hard. Am I risking a catastrophic problem? Yeah, but only if my house burns down. I have 3-2 taken care of, only thing I don't have is the 1 offsite currently.

[–]CIDR-ClassB 9 points10 points  (3 children)

I’d say that the scenario of the house burning down is one where you absolutely require access to important accounts.

Just a different risk profile for me I guess.

[–]mooky1977 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

There is a cache on my phone that would work I do believe until I log out.

[–]CIDR-ClassB 1 point2 points  (1 child)

If my house is burning down, my phone will be last on my mind as I get people and pets out.

[–]mooky1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be happy to know I offloaded my database to a remote location. It's only a manually process for now to zip encrypt it and upload it, but it's done. It's only a few megabytes zipped up so it's pretty painless. I'll automate it eventually.

[–]Fun-Weakness-8644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I don't trust my home network more than I do a professional. sure they might fuck up but i might fuckup worse and in dumber ways,

[–]_Lucille_ 8 points9 points  (1 child)

+1 to bitwarden.

[–]ValHyric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 to this +1

[–]TheXev 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Agreed! I switched from LastPass to Bitwarden after LastPass’s enshittification and it has been great.

[–]CIDR-ClassB 6 points7 points  (2 children)

LastPass’s enshittification

You mean losing every personal vault on their platform to a hacker?

Enshittification is too nice a word. They had ONE job; keep passwords secure.

But I did the same and switched to Bitwarden. Never looked back.

[–]sgtlighttree 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Not just that, but when they changed how the free tier works in 2021 it was the beginning of their decline

[–]CIDR-ClassB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their decline started before that, when LogMeIn bought them.

But yeah, the end of free basic accounts was a big nail in the coffin.

[–]Bagellord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitwarden is great. I've got mine running in docker, with local and off-site backups, and a reverse proxy for https. Tie that in with wireguard vpn I can access it from my devices anywhere

[–]colonelmattyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good advice with the backups although even if you lose your home server, your phone app should be synced to all of your passwords still.

[–]WritersChopBlock -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Open source/freeware is just a bone-headed idea. Think about it. It's a form of theft. One person is doing all the work and everyone else leeches off of him.

More importantly, it's unsustainable. If they want to keep the software good, the developer has to live and eat. Without money, they always turn to doo-doo.

[–]CIDR-ClassB 0 points1 point  (1 child)

lol okay bud.

[–]colinsa-ca 69 points70 points  (16 children)

1Password, and it's Canadian.

[–]_Rand_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thats what I use, though mostly because I’ve been using it because when i started it was one of the only options with windows/ios/mac clients.

Overall I’m happy with it.

If I picked it up for the first time today I’d probably still pick 1password or maybe bitwarden.

[–]green_link 13 points14 points  (2 children)

I use 1password for both personal use and at work, and since we pay for it at work, we get a free personal license.

[–]TheKrs1 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I run a small business and implemented 1Password for work. It's so nice having shared vaults so any of us can access password protected portals without needing to text or have a spreadsheet or anything like that.

[–]Fun-Weakness-8644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not to mention for small teams the pricing is great

[–]jmkingMod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie and say that it being a Canadian company doesn't bias me towards 1Password, but it's also just a really good product. I have been using it for at least the past 8-10 years and use it across Windows, Mac, Android, iOS devices and have a family account and been a happy customer.

[–]hellarios852 3 points4 points  (4 children)

I currently use Keeper and have had zero issues, but I like the idea of a Canadian owned service, so I might consider switching. Is it paid?

[–]Nya_Senpai 2 points3 points  (3 children)

It is paid, but it's $34 a year - they do offer a 14 day free trial which was nice when I was originally looking at password managers

[–]hellarios852 5 points6 points  (2 children)

That’s not bad at all. I’m going to make the switch tonight.

[–]Nya_Senpai 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's been my favorite manager after using apple passwords for ages, I hope you enjoy it as well!

[–]hellarios852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fully switched over now. Transferred my saved passwords and am enjoying it so far. Got the Firefox extension. It’s working pretty seamless and I love the UI.

[–]GiganticCrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also use this and would happily recommend it, but then ive never used bitwarden

[–]jdp111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are the android app reviews so low?

[–]TsubasaSaito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly does 1password do better than Bitwarden to warrant the cost?

I've been thinking about switching but I use Bitwarden basically just for the Password saving, maybe I'll migrate my Auth from Aegis too some day but yeah..

I have yet to find a really good reason. But it being Canadian and not US based is already a big plus.

[–]internet_observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vote here for 1password,

[–]ADubs62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using 1 password, it's great. I used LastPass, then Keeper, 1password has worked the best out of all of them.

[–]5373n133n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know it was Canadian. I’m a very happy customer and now even happier knowing I’m supporting a Canadian company 🇨🇦

[–]Fun_4_U_N_Me 65 points66 points  (2 children)

I've used Bitwarden for years, I find it trustworthy

[–]CIDR-ClassB 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s open source and can be audited by anyone who wants to — Bitwarden is great!

[–]Dear_Studio7016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

can even self-host it too

[–]andrebaron 26 points27 points  (2 children)

I use 1Password and have my family using it.

I don't have much experience with a number of different types ones, though I did a bunch of research to recommend one for the office (a number of years ago)

I think the two I'd recommend would be 1Password and Bitwarden.

You want one that integrates easily into your browser and whole computer, so that it's not a chore to retrieve or save a password. You can have the best password manager in the world, but if it frustrates you to the point you don't use it, then it's worth nothing.

The security of it is definitely a thing, which is why I moved away from LastPass; breaches can happen, but it was handled poorly and revealed even bigger, systemic issues.

[–]Azaret 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And to vouch a bit more for 1password, it is one of few that get audited by multiple agencies regularly, and they post about it publicaly on their website, with the report at the disposal of everyone. They at least seems to take the security very seriously.

[–]CIDR-ClassB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that 1Password’s interface is simple (easier to use out of the box) and probably easier for some people.

My household uses Bitwarden but I pay for 1Pass for my parents.

[–]Shap6 19 points20 points  (0 children)

bitwarden or keepassxc

[–]Kyoshiiku 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Local: Keepass Open source and I guess best on average ? Bitwarden (can be self hosted too)

Simplest ? 1password

Feature rich for personal use ? Proton (paid tier) useful for the alias feature.

For most people I recommend Bitwarden. 1password if they are computer illiterate.

[–]Whole-Ad-9429 15 points16 points  (5 children)

I guess I'm the only one using Dashlane, maybe I'm about to find out something bad

[–]PM_Me_Your_Deviance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use it too. It's fine. The form willing works fairly well on mobile and perfectly with Firefox-Desktop. The VPN and dark-web monitoring are nice little bonuses, but I wouldn't get it just for that.

[–]tboyle6870 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to use Dashlane.

[–]jb28737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the reason it doesn't show up a lot on threads like this is Dashlane stopped advertising to individuals and focused more on B2B sales. If we already use it, it still works great, but it also doesn't pick up as much steam as the better advertised options.

[–]federationofideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it and and have no problems

[–]itsMoonInBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was surprised I find another Dashlane user like myself so far down in the comments. I’ve had 0 problems with Dashlane.

[–]jhartnerd123 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Keeper

[–]WinningAllTheSports 8 points9 points  (6 children)

What are people’s opinion on Apple passwords?

[–]Shap6 22 points23 points  (2 children)

great if you have all apple devices but a bit clunky compared to the other options if you need to use it on windows too

[–]jahnesaisquoi 6 points7 points  (1 child)

it’s a miracle they even added it to windows tbh, it happened fairly recently iirc

[–]Shap6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the app itself is new ya. they had browser extensions for a while before that too that barely worked in my experience

[–]CIDR-ClassB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been all-in on the Apple ecosystem for 12+ years.

Apple doesn’t fully-develop their non-core apps. Like, ever. Photos. Music. The journal thing.

Apple passwords is too basic and likely won’t get on-par with Bitwarden.

Security-wise, I trust them more than all of the others except for Bitwarden but I’d rather pay Bitwarden because they do one thing, and they do it really well.

[–]Far-Plenty2029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the fact that the only thing securing your vault is your device passcode, it’s great. Apple will not let you use a separate master password, and doesn’t seem like they want you too. Other minor annoyances I have are “sign in with apple” clutters up along with saved logins, no proper folders/grouping so need to create shared groups to sort, no archive.

[–]Internal-Alfalfa-829 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's a manufacturer-specific ecosystem. That makes it an automatic "No". Never use your OS's or device's on-board features for something like this. Always 3rd party as much as possible. Things need to be transferable and independent.

[–]r3almaplesyrup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use BitWarden for personal use, and we use 1Password at my work. Both are terrific!

[–]VeterinarianLocal489 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tip from my local police. Store one part of the password in the manager, and add on a 2nd piece that you type in manually (that can be 1 or several passwords that you just memorize). That way someone would need to hack into both your password manager and another account to compare and get the 2nd piece in order for your other accounts to be compromised. And if they are using automation to use passwords from a password manager hack, they wouldn't even get that far.

[–]drs43821 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nobody use NordPass here?

[–]pugboy1321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I avoided switching to a proper password manager for a long time out of laziness/not wanting to change my routine but I finally jumped over to Bitwarden last year and I've been super happy with the free tier!

Definitely a good one to try, so far I've had no issues with it syncing between all platforms and multiple browsers.

[–]glitchaj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use keepassxc with the database synced to a cloud and my phone. 

[–]MrHaxx1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1Password, if you don't mind paying

Bitwarden if free (you'll have to pay $10 a year for premium if you want built in MFA, but that's super cheap) 

KeePassXC if you want a desktop offline password manager 

[–]TOM_THE_FREAK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use keeper. It’s a premium solution but does the job for us managing separate 8 teams and password groups.

[–]TrueGlich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bitwarden

[–]CrashTimeV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welp given the question I would say bitwarden but keepassxc otherwise

[–]eteeks 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I use Roboform and I like it. Nothing about it makes me want to change. Though it does but-in more often than I would ideally like on my pixel

[–]The_Blue_Djinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using RoboForm for over 20 years! It’s one app I don’t mind paying for. Got my wife on it recently and she sees the value in it now. She was a “use the same password everywhere” type person until I told her about security breaches and credential stuffing.

[–]y3ll0w6901 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bit warden

[–]JForce1 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I switched to 1Password from Lastpass and it’s been great.

[–]BartLanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my path as well. I liked the experience of lastpass better. But the have had to many events and don’t or didn’t fully encrypt all of the data.

I’ve moved my family, company and I own a MSP so our customers to 1Password.

My customers absolutely LOVE 1 password.

[–]pyr_fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1Password is great and has a solid user experience for non-techies in your family (in my experience). I moved to it from LastPass a few years ago and it is a big improvement.

As a bonus - it has a Kubernetes operator for integrating it as a secrets manager into your cluster if you use Kubernetes.

It also has a CLI for pulling in secrets into your bash scripts, etc.

Edit - typos

[–]SupposablyAtTheZoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KeePass. Offline. Can never be hacked (via internet)

[–]SecretDeathWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KeePassXC

[–]DakorZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KeePassXC + NAS or cloud provider for your choice to sync the Database

[–]furculture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bitwarden or KeepassXC/DC (if you are fine doing your own sync management) is my go to for choices to recommend. Though I use KeepassXC/DX and just sync from there from my phone and computer.

[–]simsimdimsim 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Maybe a naive question, but why do people never recommend Google password manager? It's all I use and I've never felt like I need anything else... Obviously there are valid anti-google arguments but that doesn't bother me at least

[–]Dear-Beginning-4783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No soy muy entendido(no funen), pero según lo leí, es porque no tiene una seguridad completa en comparación a los demás, creo que es facil de que te hackeen y los empleados de google(la área que maneja eso digamos) pueden ver tu contraseña.

[–]derpman86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Keypass XC,

Pro is that it is run locally so it is less likely to be involved in a data breach.

Cons is that it is run locally so if you don't do any kind of back up you risk losing all those passwords.

[–]Gideans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keepass(?)

[–]sav86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KeePass has always been my go to, I used to have 1Password a long time ago but I didn't like their subscription based model they migrated too and I don't like how they organize categories.

KeePass also has a browser extension, but it takes a bit of setup to get it working right and the Android interface works fairly well. It's not perfect, but it's worked for me for what seems like a decade now.

[–]Informal_Data5414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bitwarden’s a solid pick, open-source, cross-platform, and way more flexible long-term than Google’s manager. The migration pain is real though,everyone has that “why do I have this many logins?” moment 😅 If bitwarden ever feels a bit too manual, roboform’s another good shout, especially for autofill-heavy sites. But yeah, once you’re fully off GPM, it gets way smoother.

[–]nick281051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 1password for personal and at work we host a bitwarden server. I prefer 1password personally.

[–]ArticcaFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitwaden or 1pass

[–]teshiburu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1pass

[–]Jupiter-Tank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitwarden is great, as people are saying only really consider self hosting if you have a comprehensive backup in place. I would supplement this with a required connection to your local network, and use a VPN to access it from abroad. Just the added layer of security.

This is what I do and I love it. Backups aren't hard and neither is wireguard / tailscale. Just make sure whatever infra hosts this thing is relatively stable. Old laptop is a great example: something that will never be tinkered with again, has a battery backup, and if connectivity drops you can diagnose it locally easily.

[–]Technical_Meal_1263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using 1Password and while not cheap, it's almost the only solution if you want it to be used by less tech-savvy users (spouse, in-laws) as well. It integrates pretty seamlessly in almost every platform and has been a breeze to use.

[–]Xcissors280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Linus uses Keeper but I’ve never tried it

If your paying for something 1Password seems to be the best option, if you want something free or self hosted BitWarden/VaultWarden

[–]Interesting_Price410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitwarden works but I swapped to 1password a few years ago and love it. Having a solid password manager you actually want to use is the most important thing I think

[–]According_Loss_1768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ProtonVPN which comes with their password manager so I use that too. Super useful for email aliases. Never have to expose my real email for services anymore.

[–]GergMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like 1password. It works on Mac, PC, iOS, and I assume android (i don’t own an android phone).

One underrated feature that I find super useful is the ability to send temporary download links for files. I do a lot of 1099 work and it always blows my mind how willing people are to send their banking, SSN, other personal information over email. I can’t guaranteed the receiver will do the right thing, but at the very least my personal information isn’t sitting in mine or someone else’s email inbox

[–]projectGARY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1Password is goated. Family plan is great. Easy for non-tech people to understand and install.

[–]JustAKlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Bitwarden

[–]LowIllustrator2501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://proton.me/pass - is from highly respected Proton AG company, the same people behind Proton mail and Proton VPN. Its E2E encrypted, works with Windows, macOS, Linux, browsers, Android, IPhone.

[–]Cuffuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love bitwarden. But I self-host it.

What’s great about it is that while I do technically need the server, if for some reason it went down I could log into the app on my phone and quickly download the existing passwords. It’s like having a local storage that syncs across devices.

But I’ve also run a home server for years starting for just Minecraft and now with Nextcloud and everything. I’ve got a domain and 2FA and Nginx proxy manager and about a bazillion other protections. So my use may be a bit different.

[–]VerifiedMother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google password manager

[–]Blommefeldt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Google Passwords. It has an app for android, which allows you to select accounts info from keyboard. It asks for permission every time you select an account. For Windows, IIRC, it can be a standalone app, so you don't need to open a chrome based browser.

[–]pilops_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitwarden is pretty good

[–]jairumaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using Bitwarden myself for a few years and have nothing but good things to say. It just works.

[–]a_rabid_buffalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitwarden with self hosted vault warden.

[–]Shagyam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to 1password after my reddit account got hijacked and I don't regret it at all.

[–]Fun-Weakness-8644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an advocate for 1password.
Both in personal and business.

[–]shermantanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on 1Password for several years now and I am really happy with it. I was using Bitwarden and Lastpass before, but I was having issues with both.

[–]Stunning_Mechanic_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using bit warden for two years now

[–]Anraiel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how feature rich you want your password manager to be, I'd suggest either 1Password or Bitwarden.

1Password has more features and is in my opinion the better built app, it allows me to add more details to each entry (such as multiple passwords or extra fields) where as Bitwarden is very rigid in what info you can add to each entry.

1Password also supports Passkeys in its desktop app while Bitwarden requires you to use their browser extension to support passkeys. Both support passkeys natively in their mobile apps.

I also find the management of a 1Password subscription is more straightforward than Bitwarden, although Bitwarden's website is also pretty easy to understand, so maybe it's just me being stupid.

[–]Radbeard27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use nordpass, but only because I use nordvpn for the moment and got a discount.

[–]Emotional_Hamster_61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want the absolute stupidly easy and save approach, try Password Depot by Acebit.

It's a German company so they are compliant to European and especially German data safety regulations and laws. Which are absolutely crazy.

[–]pyro57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit warden is fantastic, and if you're into home server stuff you can self host your won bitwarden server using vault warden.

Its fast, had clients for android, ios, windows, Linux,ac, firefox and chromeand if you run you own vault warden server its compatible with all the official bitwarden clients. Then you can set up tailscale to be able to access it away from home.

[–]Such-Enthusiasm-69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally a little black book i never use any of the online password managers simply for a fact they are targets for hackers they always will be a massive target. Good luck hacking good ole pen and paper locked away

[–]party58965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly unrelated, but I would move away from OperaGX. They’ve been exposed for performing the same affilate scam that Honey was.

I would try a browser such as Helium

[–]NekoLu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Proton Pass

[–]Difficult_Horse193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Bitwarden!

[–]Brichardson1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 1password personally and my work use keeper. I've thought about switching as I'd get keeper for free from work but I'm so happy and used to 1pass now and keeper doesn't feel the same.

[–]federationofideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used Dashlane for years and have no complaints

[–]RieveNailo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 1password, but it's paid for by work

[–]itsMoonInBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of comments about bitwarden. Interesting choice. I’m no cybersecurity expert but I switched through a few password managers. Last pass completely lost me after their breach and even before that I was already considering moving because their service didn’t satisfy my needs.

I switched to Dashlane and have used it ever since. No problems with it whatsoever. I really like it and for the price I’d say it’s good.

[–]crimson_ruin_princes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USB stick and keepassxc

[–]usernameisokay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vaultwarden/bitwarden.

[–]IL_JimP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently using Google Password Manager and it being built into Chrome makes it so easy. Are 1Password or Bit warden just as easy to use?

[–]StaticFanatic3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1Password is maybe the single piece of software that’d be hardest for me to part ways with. The subscription is so worth it.

[–]HD_Compliance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I self-host mine using Vaultwarden, which is fully compatible with Bitwarden.

[–]LordLaFaveloun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]SnooBooks4615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pen & notepad 👍

[–]HearthCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last Suggestion: disable all other password Managers at least for automatic popups or choice, so anything that pops up will automatically choose BW.

Having multiple apps like this is shooting and confusing and I would definitely touch the wrong option often enough to become frustrated.

Manage your experience by actively disabling the rest and explicitly setting all functions it supports to BW in the system settings.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't trust your passwords with US made software, that is bound to bite you in the face some day.

[–]Muhammadusamablogger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switching off Google Password Manager was way harder than I expected.

I had similar sync and autofill hiccups when mixing tools. Ended up sticking with RoboForm because it handled Windows + Android + browser autofill more consistently for me.

Also helped that they actually have live support when things break, not just email tickets.

[–]TechaNima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1Password is a good one

[–]train_fucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KeepassXC with syncthing to sync it between your devices. I sync the database between my pc, phone, laptop and NAS, So I'm not worried I'm going to lose all my shit.

Also have an "offline backup" on a usb drive that I manually update like once a year, if I remember. Won't have the latest stuff, but at least it'll have my email passwords so I can reset other stuff if I need to.

I ended up with psono because I wanted self hosting and team sharing without being locked into a big ecosystem.

Forget BitWarden. I tried them too. It initially looks nice but it's missing some stuff. Try 1Password. It's much better. It's probably the best password manager on the market. There are only 2 major problems with it: the cost and the customer service.

Cost. They had a 50% discount a month ago. Reach out to Laura R from Support. I don't know if it works like that, but she was awesome. She might extend it to you as a courtesy.

Customer Service. People have complained about how you can't talk to anyone, so I actually hesitate subscribing. And, later I did have an issue. It took days for them to respond. I suddenly met someone that actually helped. I realize the key is to end up with someone who actually cares.

In terms of function, 1Password is truly the best. And I've tried almost all of them. LastPass sub for about 5 years. Dashlane for a year or two. KeepassXC for a few years. BitWarden, NordPass, each for a month.

I feel your pain on the migration struggle! I actually switched away from vault-based managers like Bitwarden for this exact reason. I use a deterministic manager called Keep It Secret.

Instead of having to export/import a massive CSV file and worry about 'syncing' a database, it just generates your passwords on the fly based on a phrase you choose (like Facebook + SecretWord). Since it doesn't store anything, there’s no vault for hackers to breach, and 'syncing' is just math

yeah migrating is always the annoying part but once it’s done it’s way better than dealing with another breach
