Hello everyone, what is your go-to password manager? What would you suggest for friends and family that aren’t very tech savvy?

bitwarden imo however, explore other options here
BitWarden. All day everyday. Every human
Proton Pass, I use the full suite so it’s just convenient. It also has a few nice functions like e-mail aliases and secure password share links.
Let the proton haters come👀.
Nobody else here is using Keepass with syncthing for cross-device syncing? I can’t dont know of an easier, more more reliable and secure method.
Same here, KeePassXC via Syncthing, has been working like a charm for many years and I love it.
Yup, KeePassXC is amazing, especially with the add-on in your browser (librewolf I think you need to do something to work). I don’t use my phone much for logging into things, but you can probably sync it on Android (I don’t know how it works on iOS). I love it because you can download icons from websites, and it’s very simple once you get used to it!
Same here, KeePass with SyncThing with a weekly copy of the database-file to a VPS I rent. Besides a password the database requires a key-file, which is copied between the various devices over a USB memory stick.
Why would I keep my passwords with an external company?
But yeah, this is a somewhat tech-savvy solution.
Bitwarden. Second place isn’t even close.
You’re not tech savvy… Don’t self-host a password manager!
Actually… From a data-loss POV, it’s actually pretty much fine; since the server only serves an e2ee file anyways, each end device’s data is sufficient to recover everything.
I.e. if you host Vaultwarden, log into it on your mobile device, save all your logins; then fuck up the server, it doesn’t matter, because your mobile device not only still has everything, but also does not need a server connection to export everything in a way that can then be imported again on a new server installation.
This.
I am quite tech savvy, and I have been using 1password for years.
Authpass. Store offline or in their cloud. Works on multiple types of devices. Has autofill
If you use nextcloud, especially for your friends and family, the passwords app is really good there. Plenty of apps and plugins available to use it everywhere.
Bitwarden
Bitwarden is great!
Bitwarden with self-hosted Vaultwarden.
Bitwarden with self-hosted Vaultwarden is great!
Keepassxc and zelf hosted vaultwarden.
I thought Vaultwarden was a server for Bitwarden? I didn’t know it could interact with KeePassXC.
It is. I just happen to use both keepassxc and bitwarden with my own vaultwarden instance.
Bitwarden.
Keeper, myself. Work gives me a free/subsidized family plan so sure I’ll take it.
Definitely better than Lastpass.
Keepass and Bitwarden respectively. Keepass has a lot of fringe advantages but most important to me is automation and offline consistency. Bitwarden will let you stay logged in offline depending on the options but it’s a bit different and they offer some kind of premium service. They both have good Android apps and Firefox addons
Hello everyone, what is your go-to password manager?
KeePassXC for something hosted locally on your home network. Best aspect of KeePassXC is the support for OTP codes built-in, in my opinion. For mobile OTP codes, I personally use Aegis.
What would you suggest for friends and family that aren’t very tech savvy?
Bitwarden for non-tech-savvy family and friends.
You could actually host your KeePass DB online, if you secured it good enough (and on a server you control). That way you’d have a solution working for every device you have, wherever you are.
I’m using Syncthing for sharing it, so as long as one other device is online it shares the newest version of the database.
I would recommend if you do this to have a two part key. Password and file. Then you can have the file on specific devices but share the database through the cloud.
Keepass or bust
