I used KeepassXC and Keepass2Android but the implementation seems a bit janky at times and the need to sync it manually or let it sync via a cloud is not all that comfortable.
I switched to Bitwarden about a month ago and consider it still as a test phase for now. I'm not that happy with just having my passwords lying around on a random cloud server.
Password managers are for suckas, I just use password123 for everything.
Selfhosted Vaultwarden and the Bitwarden apps.
Gives me access to all my things basically any time and anywhere. Its pretty neat. And if I don't want it anymore, I can export the data and just nuke it - and it's gone. :)
Kepass (and Keepass2Android) + Nextcloud instances to keep sync and backups
I use bitwarden and it's great! Will test out Proton Pass when they open it up.
Keepass and Strongbox.
I don’t like the honeypot that is anything too centralized, even if it is e2e encrypted. I’d be worried about exploits or compromised client payloads.
1Password is a genuine life saver.
KeepassXC and Keepass2Android
Another happy KeepassXC user here! Keepass2android on Android. I keep the passwords synced with nextcloud
For work I use 1Password, for at home I use Bitwarden.
1Password. Wasn't thrilled with their move to electron, but it hasn't been as bad as I feared, and they've earned my trust at this point
Doesn't hurt that my work now uses it, so I get the family plan for free either
Dashlane here. I self host a lot and could definitely use Keypass or something locally, but the risk of losing all your passwords if I fuck something up was too great. I'll pay professionals.
KeePassXC and Keepass2Android auto-synced with my Nextcloud instance. Works great cross-platform for Linux/Windows/Android.
I know what you mean, trusting a SaaS provider with my master password list always felt like a bad plan.
I rolled my own, actually. I don't store any passwords (even encrypted). Instead, I just append the site name to my base password (which is in my head), hash it, and base-52 it. (I also start each password with the same uppercase letter, lowercase letter, punctuation mark, just to ensure it gets past any bullshit filters)
I like that there's nothing that can be leaked (except what's in my head) and nothing to be lost and nothing to back up.
Can you please elaborate on each step. I'm not sure on the hash and base52 - do you use a program you're written to do that for you? A simple example would be fantastic.
That's ingenious.
Can you elaborate on a detail for me?
I understood everything up to "base-52 it."
I understand how converting base-10 to base-52 works, but that doesn't include alphabetical characters. What are you converting from? Are you numbering A=1, B=2, C=3...?
I’m entirely in the Apple ecosystem, so I use the built in Keychain, synced across devices through iCloud.
It would be Bitwarden otherwise.
I use 1password, I used KeePass for years but it didn't work will on Android so I moved on.
Also using 1Password, works great for what my family needs.
I just use hunter2 as my password literally everywhere. Otherwise it's easy to forget if you use more than one. I also use Bitwarden to manage all those passwords. It's really easy cuz you only need to type "hunter2" only once when you log in. After that you can just click it.
Another vote for Bitwarden. Works on everything I use!
Bitwarden all the way
I used to use KeePass, but switched to https://www.passwordstore.org with a YubiKey after discovering how janky the KeePass 2FA system is designed a while back.
Enpass, no puplic hosting. Clients in phone and PC. You can use your own services if you want to upload or keep it in a folder on the phone.
I use Bitwarden and honestly couldn’t be happier. My partner and I both use it, so it’s incredibly easy to share any credentials we both need to use. It also works great on every platform I’ve personally tried it on, and I like that I can use it for totp 2fa as well.
Bitwarden enjoyer here
Bitwarden user here.
Self hosted Bitwarden is the bees knees.
I've been using keepass on PC and KeepassDX on Android.
Bitwarden, easily. You can self host if you want to for added privacy. I don't, but the option is there.
