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.

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

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.

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.

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

Bitwarden is really great imo.

It’s 1Password for me. Looks good, works good and is available for every platform that I use.

For work I use KeepasXC and Bitwarden+Vaultwarden as well.

If you are not using a password manager you are doing it wrong.

Went LastPass (avoid) -> 1Password -> Bitwarden. Pretty happy with BW, as it has reasonable integrations on Android. Prior to that, i was using a UNIX tool called "pass", which used GPG and allow some degree of organization. I still use it for some stuff.

I would not recommend cloud based password manager. We all know what happened to LastPass. But locally encrypted ones are great. I love to use KeePassXC.

Using different passwords for different services protects you against data leaks opening attack vectors for all your services as well as malicious actors using your passwords like that as well as phishing impact.

A password manager is a must for reasonable security.

I use keepass. Local DB file with Master password. No hosted service or Browser extension is another layer of protection, of risk reduction. I manually copy/sync the DB file via cloud storage as a backup and for mobile use.

I use Browser password storage selectively. The most critical stuff definitely only belongs into my memory and password database.

Using a password manager was a game changer for me and I recommend it to everyone. I use both Bitwarden and 1Password. I find Bitwarden to run better on Android and 1Password better on iOS. But both are the best password managers in my opinion.

KeePass user here for.....a long-ass time. Won't use anything else. Official KeePass 2.x on my computers, and KeePass2Android on my phone. The database is synced to my Google Drive, and a strong passphrase plus a key file keeps it nice and secure.

I use 1password. I heard that Apple uses 1password internally. I figure their IT guys are more expert than me, a random internet dude. So I chose 1password. Works great on desktop, mobile, and even Linux. Family plan is a good deal. You can even share passwords between users for common things like bank accounts, etc, between family members.

Does a sheet of paper count as a password manager?

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

Trust no one and just use KeePassXC.

Started with LastPass, used it for 10 years. Switched to Bitwarden a while ago, would never go back.

Yes, they should be used. KeepassXC FTW

I do not trust password managers. There's a saying that goes 'do not put all of your eggs in one basket' and that's what I don't do. Mobile, Desktop, whatever, I don't use a single password manager. It wasn't long ago that a password management company was compromised, right? What are the odds that similar circumstances could happen on another password management company? It'd be a disaster.

Whatever happened to just simply having a notepad program/app and documenting your passwords onto there?

Ironic to the contrary, I've caught myself using browsers such as chrome to save my passwords for easier log in. But that's simply out of my decaying memory due to age, not necessarily because I have a bias with Google and I trust them with everything. I still don't trust them with everything.
