    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

      I use Bitwarden!! It’s great cause I have a long complicated password to access the vault (my phone will do it by fingerprint though) but it’s the only password I need to actually memorize. Don’t know how someone can be secure without one nowadays, way too many services

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I know a lot of people are saying Bitwarden, but I’ve been using 1Password for 4 years and Bitwarden just isn’t a viable replacment.

    1Password looks much more modern and their organizational tools are not present at all in Bitwarden. I can’t even sort by date created or modified in Bitwarden.

    Not using a password manager is like not having locks on a house. Everyone should have one and if you don’t, you’re risking a lot of valuable stuff being taken from you.

    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.

    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.

    I use Bitwarden. Used to use Last pass, but that got crappy a while back.

    Over the last 15 years or so I’ve moved from 1Password to LastPass to Bitwarden. I don’t know how anyone manages without them.

    One another Bitwarden user chiming in!

    I started with LastPass but they started making things difficult enough on the mobile side that I decided to jump ships. Bitwarden also is a smoother app to use - LastPass felt clunkier (I’ve used only the free side on both).
