Okay so yesterday, I changed my password as a precaution because of the hack, and just now I decided to clean my browser tabs and re login and almost forgot my password. I'm done dealing with passwords.

What password manager do you recommend?

Features I’m looking for

-Open Source

-Can be synced to cloud (I don’t want self host)

-Can be accessed via a browser

-Cross platform, the more platforms, the better

-End to End Encrypted, and Encrypted at rest on my device, also need some way to authenticate before releasing the password, like a pin or biometrics

-Autofill for browser and apps

-Free (can be a freemium model, but I need the base tier to be free, too broke to spend money on this lol)

-Can export the passwords to a file

I never used a password manager before so sorry if I seem like a noob.

I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.

Edit: Woah, those replies are fast. I think I'll use Bitwarden. Thanks for recommendations! Now I don't need to worry about forgetting passwords anymore. πŸ˜„

Edit 2: It seems I've forgotten my email password as well as a few other accounts I haven't logged into for a while. Damn, should've used a password manager earlier.

As others say, Bitwarden checks all of those boxes, and KeepassXC technically doesn't fit the "not self hosted" requirement, but you can store your database file in any cloud storage you want.

Bitwarden. Definitely recommended.

Bitwarden. Either selfhosted or the official

You can use SafeInCloud.

Bitwarden, no question

If you're going through all your site's changing passwords maybe take a look at http://simplelogin.io to also hide your email address. Some sites block you, which is ridiculous, but for the majority of sites it's a good idea.

What's people's thoughts on Dashlane?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I used it for a while. It was okay but I got frustrated with some of the UI on Desktop. It struggled to recognize a lot of website password forms so I had to do a lot of manual login entry (even if it was copy paste it was still a pain). I really liked having a desktop app that didn't require a browser but they stopped supporting it, which was the last thing I was staying for so I dropped it for Keeper, then One Password.

With all that said, it's one of few pm tools that made it super easy to share passwords securely (more than keeper or Onepassword) , and it was pretty seamless to share logins for household stuff like Netflix and our mortgage servicer. My husband hated using though since he had his own system that preferred using, but used dashlane for things we shared.

I use a mixture of Bitwarden and KeepassXC.

BW for most uses KP for things I only want local copies of ^^

I just can't get past the name of KeepAss...

If you’re comfortable around *nix stuff: pass. Open source, free forever, you can β€œhost” it with Github private repo.
