My favorite password manager is KeypassDx. I also use proton pass. What do you use and why?

Bitwarden. It is open source, reliable, easy to use, and compatible with everything. The free version has nearly everything, but I have the paid version to support development because $10 per year is very reasonable.

I do regularly export my password vault to KeePassXC as my backup though.

[–] bluespin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Does Bitwarden have sharing/family features? I'd like to switch but those are a hard requirement for me

[–] littlewonder@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes! They have a family plan that is basically their organization plan but cheaper.

Bitwarden is simple, reliable and works on all of my devices.

[–] Stomata@buddyverse.one 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I never used it. Is it possible to self host?

[–] mitexleo@buddyverse.one 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yep! It's fully open source and free. I use the hosted version though.

[–] Stomata@buddyverse.one 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Looks like i need to run a server. I actually wanted a fully offline one. Maybe I'll stick with keepass

[–] SwordInStone@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

well, running a server is in the definition of self-hosting

Like others've said, Bitwarden is awesome if you want a (selfhosted or hosted) server (e.g. as a much better replacement for LastPass).

If you want an offline password manager, KeePass is the way to go (i.e. KeePassDX/KeePassXC for mobile/pc).

[–] atomicpeach@pawb.social 11 points 2 months ago

You can self host with Vaultwarden! It's just the server; you use the same Bitwarden clients.

[–] AsudoxDev@programming.dev 33 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Bitwarden. The UI is about to be updated to something more modern so that's no longer is an issue for most people. It's also open source, so yes.

The 10€ per year as the premium subscription is just unbeatable. You pay less than a euro per month for a reliable and robust password manager. And you don't even need the premium subscription, because almost everything is free. I honestly consider it a donation rather than a subscription.

[–] SwordInStone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

10 EUR per year is a bit more than half an EUR per month

[–] AsudoxDev@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

oh yeah sorry meant less than a euro

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

Also how I treat it

[–] gratux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 2 months ago

Bitwarden, i can self host it and it is quite convenient to have official apps for all platforms i use.

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 16 points 2 months ago

Bitwarden idk why I use it but it works fine for me

[–] irish_link@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I specifically use Vaultwarden. Great for syncing and sharing across family

https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden

[–] jasep@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Same here, self hosted on docker. I migrated from KeepassXC and I'm very happy.

Keepass was ok but because I have various devices (Mac, Windows, Android, and iPad) all accessing it, at times it would cause issues. No issues that way with VaultWarden.

I use keepass2android to access my keypassxc database.

[–] SuperFola@programming.dev 10 points 2 months ago

Self hosted Bitwarden. It has been awesome for three years, never had any problems when switching from windows to Mac and then my phone from android to iPhone.

Better than keeper and last pass. Good synchronization and more options to share passwords or notes with friends compared to Firefox password store.

[–] stardust@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

KeePassDx because of Magikeyboard to not have to copy paste in stuff.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Android has password auto-fill by default, and it works with most password managers, including Bitwarden

[–] Stomata@buddyverse.one 2 points 2 months ago

After using it for two years i just find how magikeyboard works by your comment 🤦‍♂️

I really enjoy 1Password. Works really well, plenty of storage functionality for all kinds of data. There's watchtower functionality for poor or leaked passwords, or missing 2fa/passkeys too. One of my favorites is the built-in ssh-agent. In my eyes, it's absolutely worth the asking price

Bitwarden since they starded. Didn't need anything more than the free subscription, but I'm thinking of self-hosting my own vaultwarden instance.

keepass because it is simple and local

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Protonpass user here. Their aliasing is just too good to have.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago

While true, none of the other ones are as seamless and easy as what Proton achieves. I've tried multiple other services, and always come back to Proton for exactly this.

[–] Stomata@buddyverse.one 3 points 2 months ago

This feature is actually cool

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Keypass as well. I hate the PC one though, but I still use it.

I use keypass DX on my phone.

[–] ililiililiililiilili@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Its spelled KeePass (not to be pedantic, just for clarity). Here's a link on F-droid for KeePassDX. Others should chime in, but I think KeePassXC is the best choice for Win/Linux/Mac. Then sync your database via Syncthing (or your trusted cloud provider).

KeePass. It has everything I need and is fully under my own control.

[–] Stomata@buddyverse.one 2 points 2 months ago

This is why i also like it

[–] redxef 7 points 2 months ago (5 children)

pass.

It's simple and has frontends for all my usecases. It's so simple, that you can extend it's functionality yourself if you wish.

Synchronizing works by just synchronizing the folder where the data lives, so syncthing, git, dropbox, ftp. Whatever you like.

Locally stored KeePass

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Like a lot of folks, I use and recommend Bitwarden for passwords management. Their Authenticator app is really good for mobile TOTP, too.

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 6 points 2 months ago

KeePassXC + Keepass2Andriod, keep it all synced using Syncthing. Desktop/Laptop/Phone all have the passwords synchronized, it is super convenient.

I have been doing it this way for years, never had any issues; just starting to investigate using passkeys where I can. So that is a new adventure; I'll see how it goes with my current workflow.

[–] fubly_glaston 6 points 2 months ago

I've used 1password for more years I can count on my hands, and am satisfied with it. I share vaults with family members which is extremely handy with my aging parents.

I haven't really tried much else. I see no reason to switch.

[–] stewie410@programming.dev 5 points 2 months ago

At work we're using Bitwarden for the group benefits; though I still have KeePassXC running to simplify SSH keys (Windows, naturally) for native & PuTTY.

Personally, I use KeePassXC & KeePass android (currently); and sync'd through GDrive; which is good enough for my needs.

[–] shapis@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

Proton pass.

Used bitwarden for a long time til I lost my 2fa and lost the account. I also lost proton’s 2fa and they helped me get the account back. Been a customer since.

[–] node815@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Hands down, Bitwarden app on phone and in browser. Vaultwarden self hosted. Since I host it at home, I know it's always in my server. The winning thing for me is that Bitwarden Supports Webuathn now, you can use it as it's own webuathn key you authorize to log in with, so basically go the site you want to login with and when it asks for the webuathn, you can either have Bitwarden use the credentials you stored for it or your own biometric or hardware key instead.

With this, I sign into Authentik for my SSO just by clicking one link, and Bitwarden prompts to log in and I click the option. I'm auto logged into my server and no UN/PW passed to it.

I've tested others and nothing quite comes close except for KeepassXC, but for me, it's a matter of personal preference on my side. I've been with Bitwarden since the early days.

[–] Humanius@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Personally I use Enpass.
It's both my password manager, but also the place where I keep track of notes about devices, accounts and software licences.

I tried to change over to Bitwarden a few weeks ago, because that is what my office wants us to move to, but the limitations are not really bridgeable for me. Bitwarden seem to me to be very specifically a password manager and not much else.

I use Firefox' built-in password manager; anything else is a hassle to use tbh
