Bitwarden all day every day. I don’t even know any of my passwords because they’re all randomly generated. Try to guess my password now hacker man

Bitwarden, all the way.

What are your thoughts on password managers?

They are mandatory in current digital age.

Do you use one?

Yes. Bitwarden.

Would you recommend it to others?

Already do and most are receptive to it once you show them that every single one of them were caught up in a breach at some point.

A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.

Bitwarden is really great imo.

Everyone should be using a password manager. Every service should have a different password (and some service should have several passwords) and it's impossible for the average person to keep track of all of those. Every time I hear about someone losing control of an account it's because they were using the same password as another service.

I recommend:

• KeePassDX: Can be completely offline. Probably the most secure but can be a little awkward to use sometimes.
• Bitwarden: Cloud based but open source. You could run a server but the main service offers MOST of the features for free.

Your mileage may very with some of the proprietary platforms. However my job uses 1 Password and it seems to be fairly safe.

I'm in the Bitwarden camp. There is no other way for me to have complex/secure passwords and remember them for my gazillion accounts.

KeePassXC here. Locally encrypted, Locally stored, cloud backup of an encrypted file, synced with SyncThing to mobile devices. I will never trust nor recommend a cloud based manager with all the breaches.

Password manager-less life with notebooks and reused passwords is life in the stone age. If you or anyone you know isn't using one, get on bitwarden.

Everyone knows why password manageras are absolutely essential, but here's an often neglected perk: I can list every site I ever signed up to. Wanna delete some old accounts? "Did you sign up to X yet?" Simples.

Yes, do it! Now! It’s the safest way, but only by choosing the right and trusted ones. Examples:

• The expensive but good one: 1Password
• The free, geeky and difficult one for normal users: Keepass.
• The simple and free and beloved one: Bitwarden
• The don’t try it ever because they will leak your data: Lastpass.

Bitwarden is the best.

Bitwarden fan over here. Been using it for a month and I have just 1 complaint; can't sign into the Android app. Signing in with my mobile browser works though. No idea why the app is being fussy. I'll contact them about it when I stop being lazy.

Bitwarden's best warden.

Yes, Bitwarden is the way to go

Bitwarden is just fantastic, it works so well. After migrating from LastPass years ago to BW I haven't looked back once and have encouraged friends to switch over as well.

My opinion is that they are a godsend, and it baffles me why neither Apple nor Google have a proper client for this...

Thankfully Bitwarden exists.

I can’t imagine life without one. So many bad password habits can be eliminated by using a password manager to generate a strong, unique password for every site you use, and devoting your limited password-remembering powers to one decent master password. (Or better yet, secure your password manager further using other forms of authentication.)

It’s not just for helping you (and your less technically inclined friends and family) remember and use strong, unique passwords, though. Since a password manager only recognizes the real web address that any given password was designated to, it won’t be fooled by a scam website using a similar-looking name to a legitimate one. While this doesn’t eliminate the risk of falling for a scam, every little bit helps, no matter how skilled you are at cybersecurity.

I use Bitwarden, which I’ve been using ever since Lastpass started limiting you to using a single device class (mobile or desktop) for free accounts. It integrates with both Firefox and Chromium-based browsers and with the password manager features in smartphones. Their free account is nice, but I went with the paid option so that I could keep and use 2FA passcodes within Bitwarden itself. There have been several debates between doing it like this versus using a separate authenticator app, but I feel like it’s both very secure and really, really convenient. It encourages me to use increased security on every website that supports it.

In general, password managers are a must-have in today's world. The question is not if you should have one, but which one and why.

As a Software Engineer very conscious about security and privacy, but also with a high practicality sense, I'd say you should opt for whatever you feel more comfortable.

If you don't want to manage anything, then 1password, BitWarden, LastPass or any of those might be right for you. If you are more of the kind to tinker with everything, then you can have your own OwnCloud/NextCloud and use KeePassXC.

I particularly used the later setup, but NextCloud was too much to handle for me, and settled with KeePassXC + Dropbox.

You do you, but use a password manager.

bitwarden. Using it 4 years extremely happy. Did you know they allow creating a password up to 128 characters

KeePass. Hands down the most secure one if you set it up right

Another vouch for bitwarden, its free and has everything I need. Been using it for at least 5 years.

Bitwarden. Integrates extremely well on Android and on my PC in Firefox.

If you're not using a password manager then you're mostly likely 1 data breach away from not knowing how many other accounts of yours have been compromised.

They're so incredibly easy to use, they're all basically free, and they are essential IMO. I personally use Bitwarden, before that was LastPass until they first got rid of any reason to use the subscription, only to then lock multi-device use behind the subscription (oh and they got bought by LogMeIn, who are a garbage company). Bitwarden is better in every way, so it was a win. Happily paying for Bitwarden, and would recommend it to everyone.

I've used bitwarden for awhile now and even got my wife on it. I love it and it's simple to use.

I started using Bitwarden a few years ago, and I will never turn back. Passwords available across all my devices (android app, chrome extensions etc). You can also sign up with them (they have free which is pretty limited and a paid version) or you can selfhost.

I run it selfhosted, so I don't pay and don't have any limitations.

They have received a huge influx of users recently from ~~1password~~ Lastpass after that breach.

At this point NOT using a password manager is absolutely insane from a security perspective. Password managers not only make your life easier, but if you use them correctly, you can setup each service with its own dedicated and complex password. Good luck doing that without one!

I absolutely love Bitwarden. They've never been hacked (to my knowledge). Are super transparent. Answer support tickets extremely quickly and it only costs $1 a month to use 2FA. The extension and app are super fast, extremely well made as far as user-experience goes and I have never had a problem with them.

Tried Keepass, KeepassXC, 1password, Nordpass, et cetera. Bitwarden does it all better imo and fits my use-case perfectly.

I use bitwarden - I like it a lot plus you can self-host if you don't want to trust a third party

Keepass, from here to eternity

Been using Bitwarden for years now. It's one of the first apps I install on every new device or browser.

One of the best decisions - software wise - I made was to switch from Lastpass to Bitwarden. Never going back!

I use keepass synced with internxt. Works so so , but internxt will hopefully improve

Keepass, synced between devices with Syncthing

Bitwarden for sure. I use it to store passwords, of course. But also to generate stronger passwords than I can make up myself. I also like the secure notes and emergency contact functions.

Been using Bitwarden since 2017, I think.

I love it! I did use other password managers, but I ended up retaining Zoho Vault and KeePass. Zoho for work credentials while KeePass for archive and backup purposes.

For me, it's Bitwarden.

Bitwarden is fine with me, but a company needs to earn my trust before I let them have that kind of information. Most companies out there just aren't trustworthy enough to hand that kind of data to.

KeePass, and backup it on luks containers.

One more vote for Bitwarden over here. I use the paid version, which is really cheap and because it supports the development. Been using it for almost 5 years and it's the absolute best.

This thread inspired me to take a look at Bitwarden. It's so much better than what I was using that I switched instantly.

KeePassXC / KeePassDX with Syncthing!

Absolutely for every single login. Makes life so much easier once you're dedicated to doing it.

Trust no one. Not because you're paranoid, but because you don't need to.

Trust no one and just use KeePassXC.
