What do you all use for password management?
I'm using KeePass currently, since I don't really want to use anything publicly hosted. But I was curious to see what other people have been using!
You're viewing a single thread.
Maybe a tangent, but what are the security implications of a password manager? It seems like it would replace many individual things that can go kinda wrong with one big single point of failure, which frightens me 😆
Happy to be wrong though. They definitely seem convenient.
You have a point there. But if you use a password manager with strong encryption, 2fa etc. you can minimize the risk somewhat. I came to the conclusion that the benefits of using extremely long, secure passwords outweigh the risks if you follow all the best practices. Plus the added comfort.
This line of reasoning kept me away from password managers for a while, but I've been using Bitwarden for almost a year now, and I could never go back.
You're technically right, but a better way to look at it is that it reduces your surface of attack from many weak points, down to one, very strong and secure point (assuming you use a reasonably strong password for your vault, and don't log into your vault on public networks or anything like that).
But at the end of the day, using a password manager is vastly superior to relying on your memory, which is what many people still do.
