I don't but I should even though my threat level is zero.
But then isn't a single point of failure a problem? I guess we use these to make life easier with strong passwords, but what if the cloud with sync gets leaked, or someone keylogs my pass manager then I lose all passwords not just those incidentally affected by a leak or hack?
I have no idea how anyone lives without one, there's really no downside to using one if it's set up properly
Loving vaultwarden. Easy to share with family for passwords, great browser extension.
I use bit warden and I love it. And yes, I would recommend using a password locker. Just make sure you do some research before selecting one.
I absolutely use a password generator/manager. Using Bitwarden.
I recommend one. Try to get one without a subscription. I bought the pro version of Enpass before they put up a subscription wall, and I've been riding that one ever since.
A shame I haven't seen Passwordstore (pass) here. Simple, transparent, and to the point, with great extensibility to boot. It also interacts with git allowing you to version track your own storage, which is a huge plus for me since I use git daily.
On other choices, I think the largest point you should consider for a password manager is the ability to self-host your own instance. Opensourced server code is the next best thing. In security, human trust should never be trusted, and even if the company is not lazy and malignant about your data, bundling up a lot of them create obvious larger targets for potential hackers, and you have higher chance of getting the collateral damage than localized ones.
Just moved from bitwarden to proton pass, so far so good. Would recommend keepass, bitwarden,1password but definitely not lastpass.
I just use the chrome password manager, works great and seamlessly transitions from Android to desktop. I used to use KeePass, but the convenience of the built in tools in chrome just works really well, especially after moving over from iOS.
I toss my KeePass file (encrypted database) in Google Drive.
That way I have all the convenience of syncing through the cloud, but I also get the benefit of having my database access and database storage be managed by separate companies.
If Google has a breach and my data gets leaked, sucks, but the database is encrypted so I’m good. If KeePass encryption is broken, sucks, but attackers would also have to find a way to gain access to my Google Drive.
Having a password manager is incredibly useful when someone dies and you need access to their accounts. I think bitwarden and probably others lets you grant emergency access to someone, definitely leaving it in my will.
I couldn't imagine not using a password manager anymore, so I'd certainly recommend it. At work we use 1Password, and I use NordPass privately. Both are great IMO.
I'm probably going to get grilled for this but I've Been using Firefox's Saved passwords, I really don't need anything better.
Keepass with syncthing is GOAT
Keepass with key file. I synchronise only the database with cloud servers while the key file stays on my devices and never gets synched. I think that's a good tradeoff for security and convenience.
