I've just started using 1Password is there anyway I can copy my passwords from Firefox and Samsung Pass to it automatically?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yes.

Firefox

As for Samsung Pass, it seems they don't have an easy export option. They only allow a proprietary binary(?) export, which tbh is enough reason to not use it (vendor lock-in is the worst). source

Thank you, luckily I seem to have my passwords mostly in Firefox.

Keep it simple.

How do I get started to use one? Do I need to change the password for everything for the first time?

Edit: Thanks for such detailed responses everyone. Installed Bitwarden.

First step is just installing one and using it. Let it save your accounts and current passwords as you use them.

As you add accounts, if you know you reuse the same password for some accounts, change those passwords to a randomly generated one with the manager.

As others have mentioned Bitwarden integrates really well on desktop and Android. Highly recommend it.

They are great:

Convenience - no more forgot password because of arbitrary condition of having two digits and min. 16 characters etc.
Security - when db leaks and somehow the service you registered for wasn't hashing passwords properly, it's just random set of characters instead of combination of email and password you probably use for a lot of other things.

Password managers are as important as adblockers in this day and age imo
