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.

I finally committed myself to getting BitWarden set up, maybe a year ago. I wish I had done it sooner. I use it to generate all my passwords, and I have it installed on my phone and desktop. I love remembering only one password and knowing all my other passwords are secure. For me it's a no-brainer.

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.

Password managers are much better than using the same password again and again. I use 1Password.

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 personally use pass, which uses gpg for encryption and can also use git repositories (I use it with my personal gitea instance).

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

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Just moved from bitwarden to proton pass, so far so good. Would recommend keepass, bitwarden,1password but definitely not lastpass.

I absolutely use a password generator/manager. Using Bitwarden.

I use pass which is a frontend for GnuPG. It's sort of primitive and I had to write user interface for it but it's super flexible. Since every password is saved in encrypted file syncing is easy and we use Git to share company passwords amongst ourselves.

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

[-] [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.

So apparently I'm alone in using RememBear...

Been using it and I like it 🤷‍♂️

I think it's almost necessary. I only have to remember one password now. Bitwarden has apps/extensions on basically any device/browser I've used that integrate well with auto-fill. It was weird not being able to "know" my passwords originally, but it's great not ever having to remember which variant of a password I might have used. Plus, you can easily share some accounts with people easily and it's just seamless (a lot of IoT devices only work with a single account for example).
