It's a must.

I've been using Microsoft authenticator for work, and since it was there I also started using it for my personal accounts and passwords as well. It works well enough, never had any issues.

Using Bitwarden here. All is good but sometimes the auto-fill feature doesn't work well.

Absolutely worth it. It's the only way to actually adhere to password best practices.

[–] tudisco 3 points 2 years ago

I appreciate Enpass because it allows me to decide where my data is stored while simultaneously synchronizing across all my devices. It's quite impressive. Now, they have incorporated Wi-Fi sync, which eliminates the need for cloud-based synchronization.

Since i started using KeypassX, My memory just got worse

I’ve been using Bitwarden for years and also use the Apple password manager on my phone and iPad so I have a copy in case something happens.

I also keep some less sensitive work passwords on chrome because I don’t want to open Bitwarden at work.

I don't use a PM because I'm too paranoid about losing access to it (hardware failure, file corruption), thus losing access to all accounts it protects. I end up writing down my passwords on paper. Not the full thing, just a personal reminder.

The real irony is that an "easily stolen" piece of paper is safer than anything i leave on my computer or phone

Bitwarden all day

Keeper is a fantastic zero knowledge password manager. Once I started using keeper, I never looked back.

[–] Koma52 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Started with Bitwarden years ago, then I used 1password for a few months and now I'm using Keepassxc (Keepass2Android on my phone).

And I recommend everyone to use one. Not necessarily Keepass if they are not very tech savy (database synchronization can be a little bit tricky but not hard). Bitwarden was good too but Keepassxc supports adding ssh keys which is a big plus for me.

Adding generic attachments to a KeePass vault has come in handy.

KeePassDX with Synching to locally synchronize databases across devices.

[–] Clipboards 3 points 2 years ago

Currently a Bitwarden user at both home & at work. Picked up some Teams licenses for my department earlier this year - Password Managers are absolute essentials for next of kin & for successors at work.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It is an absolute necessity if you use a computer. If you dont have a password manager your accounts are not secure, unless you can memorize randomized passwords. I personally don't like the idea of my most sensitive file (password database), being on someone elses computer. I use KeePassXC to mitigate this, but if you want cloud sync I recommend Bitwarden.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Absolutely necessary In the current times. Be it for peace of mind or to free space in the mind. I've been using Bitwarden for over 5 years and I will never look back. The only password I know is the master password of the vault and don't have to worry about the tens of other stored in there.

The yourselves a favour and just go for it. It will be a million times better.

What's wrong with dashlane? Been using it for years, really don't want to take the effort to move to bitwarden or whatever the flavor of the month is...

I use gpg to encrypt my passwords with my public key. Benefit is that adding credentials to a new file doesn't require me to type the master password (password for private key). I trust gpg the most for security.

[–] Artaca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Got a lifetime key for Enpass something like a decade ago and it's been as good as I could ever need. I still rely heavily on autofill via Android & Firefox, but I treat Enpass as the backup to the backup, the one with every last password. I'm meticulous about updating it with every account, every updated password, etc. I also manage all of my wife's passwords as a separate vault.

I've been using 1password ever since it was first released on iOS and I gotta say it's awesome! Whatever you use, stay far away from Lastpass ... they are a security nightmare.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

As the rest of this thread seems to be saying, yeah Bitwarden seems to be the way to go. I've been using it for years and it's way too convenient not to have (not to mention the security benefits).

[–] DBoechat 3 points 2 years ago

I've been using Safe In Cloud since 2012. I like it a lot.
