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I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.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

+1 for Bitwarden here. One day I will go down the self-hosted route.

I have the server, just dont trust myself enough to cut the cord from BW servers.

I've put Vaultwarden online and have configured it to backup over the network through duplicity. Updates are automatic (I have a cronjob that just does docker pull/stop/rm/run without checking the error codes). No downtime so far!

It's been a while since I've used the official Bitwarden server, but Vaultwarden is pretty much foolproof. It's one of the easiest programs to self-host that I've come across.

Ah, you like living on the edge πŸ˜›

I don't trust automated Docker updates... There can be breaking changes between versions. I don't want my Docker containers to automatically break themselves :D

[–] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 1 points 1 year ago

It's a testament to Vaultwarden's update policies, not to my amazing server practices!

You're right that this is a terrible idea and it will inevitably bite me in the ass, but keeping up to date with a dozen of self hosted services is a faff and I'll accept the 15 minutes of docker fuckery to revert the updates if it means I don't need to remind myself to perform server maintenance.

Yeah, there's a lot to be said for letting the hosting be done by people who know what they're doing.
