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

    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

    KeePassXC (Desktop) and KeePassDX (mobile). Offline, local-only password manager. There’s also a Firefox browser extension for it too.

    If you need it to sync between devices, Syncthing gets the job done by syncing the DB file.

    I don’t trust any cloud solutions. You’re trusting some random company with your passwords. Data breach is inevitable.

      This one for me too! I’ve been very happy.

      I try to minimize use of browser extensions, but i have the phone & desktop application. Nextcloud/whatever you run for syncing. I also back up those files through rsync to encrypted volume in a cloud provider (so double encrypted), so that if the worst should happen, I can still access the last version.

      It’s worth noting that you can manage OTP through it. When you add to your phone’s OTP manager, you can also add it to Keepass, so you wont be up shit creek if your phone dies. Personally I would make a separate volume for your OTP, so you retain dual verification, even if someone should gain access to one of the two.

        Because if it’s something that’s vital, you should just pay to have someone else host it. ESPECIALLY if it’s a nominal cost per year.

          Thanks for answering. I don’t self host it but am interested. It’s still a company that i entrust to store highly sensitive data with, hence my interest in self hosting. Usually folks promote self hosting, so i was curious about your comment to not. Agree, that’s not something to consider lightly.

      Not just between devices. Between people, too. Super handy to coordinate shared passwords. I use it with my wife for utilities and stuff.

      You can also designate other Bitwarden accounts to have the ability to reset your master password, in case of emergency. So my wife has a password she can use to get in there, in case something happens to me. But people can’t do it on the sly, because it’ll notify the account holder of its use.

    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👀.

    Bitwarden. There are also self host options, and other free/freemium offerings as well. Personally, I feel like Bitwarden built all this infrastructure to keep my passwords encrypted and secure, and since my db contains not only personal data, but also business data, I’ll leave it to Bitwarden who has a fantastic record as far as breaches.

    Bitwarden is great, has lots of free features, and a pretty cheap premium family plan. I’ve been trying to onboard my old people to my family plan so that I can help them if they forget their passwords. 1Password is more expensive, but more polished, and a better choice for newbies IMO.

    Keepass. I need to figure out a way to securely sync between Android <-> PC.

    GNUpass should be very secure too but I need a way to view it on Android.

      Syncthing does the job pretty great for me. Local sync, rather than cloud. As long as your network is secure, you’re good

      I use self-hosted Nextcloud to sync mine. Other people like Syncthing. I’m going to drop an unpopular opinion here: if you use a sufficiently strong master passphrase, you can sync your file with even gdrive or Dropbox if those are more convenient for you.
