Bitwarden. I've used a bunch of password managers, Bitwarden has been by far the best for me.
The mobile, desktop, and web app are all awesome and work great.
Self-hostable, open source, great feature set. Pricing is super reasonable for their cloud hosted features. Ui is simple, clean, makes sense, and so far I've had zero issues with syncing, saving, etc.
IMO, it's a great example of a FOSS application that looks and functions as good or better than the nicest closed source proprietary software.
BitWarden in personal life. Recently discovered my corporate overlords approve KeePass (no synching to my phone though). I'm pumped to have literally any pw vault solution.
No joke, 25% of the people in my office have a sticky note on the bottom of their keyboards. I do the odd security audit and I always check.
I'm a huge fan of 1Password. Previously used pass for years, but there are many ways in which 1Password is more convenient, especially when it comes to sharing secrets with friends/family/colleagues.
Bitwarden is the way to go. Used LastPass years ago when they suddenly switched to the paid model, then they could get fucked. Been with Bitwarden and haven't looked back (or around for alternatives, super happy)
I'm just on bitwarden, I was using keepass for awhile but getting the vault moved between devices was a pain, even with syncthing. If it got desynced it was a pain to fix
Bitwarden here. Was also a LastPass user. Switched when I retired so I did not have to worry about still keeping any old accounts from work.
P.s. Also I like that I can have Bitwarden sync on my phone and my laptop.
I know a bunch of people here have mentioned Bitwarden, but I would like to mention one feature that makes it superior to all others. You can integrate it to services like SimpleLogin, AnonAddy, Firefox Relay, DDG etc. and auto-generate email aliases within the Bitwarden extension. In theory it is more secure to not do this but it is such a huge QoL feature to just hit the randomize button in the extension to create an alias for a new login. It also populates the info field on simplelogin with something along the lines of "Auto-Generated by Bitwarden for: [website]"
Firefox sync. The service syncs between your actual devices. Nothing is stored online. There is a catch. Everything is encrypted using your password. So if you forget your password, you lose all your passwords.
I sync between my Linux desktop (OpenSuse Tumblweed), my Android phone, and my Steamdeck.
I primarily use Bitwarden with a self hosted Vaultwarden server on my NAS. But since Bitwarden doesn't support an auto-type feature (not the same as auto-fill) I use KeePassXC on my desktop PC for applications too.
Bitwarden, all the way. On my mobile devices, laptops, etc.
I used to use KeePass but the UI is so antiquated and features also just haven't kept up. Bitwarden free, open source, audited, syncs and works everywhere flawlessly, and I can self host if I ever want to. It's great.
Like some others here I use bitwarden, but I'd prefer to move to selfhosted vaultwarden. I haven't taken the leap of opening my server to the world so my family's devices can stay synced. Also, I don't trust my admin skill with server stability and security.
I've been using KeePass for a very long time. It works, and the Google Drive plugin syncs without any issues. I have it set up on multiple devices, all pulling from my Google Drive, and each instance of KeePass has it's own key file. So even if someone got a hold of the main database, it's useless without the key file, which is only hosted on specific devices.
I just use hunter2 as my password literally everywhere. Otherwise it's easy to forget if you use more than one. I also use Bitwarden to manage all those passwords. It's really easy cuz you only need to type "hunter2" only once when you log in. After that you can just click it.
Gives me access to all my things basically any time and anywhere. Its pretty neat. And if I don't want it anymore, I can export the data and just nuke it - and it's gone. :)
Unix pass! Because I have to be different apparently
If you're into DIY, you can get a very robust system set up with GnuPG, rofi-pass, and git. Plus I can even push passwords to my phone using Android-Password-Store.
Self hosted Bitwarden out of my house. I bought an old server a while back and it's been running like a champ. The official version s a bit cumbersome, but it seems to work really well. No complaints.
BitWarden for me. I got the premium plan so I use it to share family password with my Partner (one collection), my dad (a second), and my in-laws (a third). I've definitely gotten my money's worth and I've been happy with it.
Looking forward to seeing if the passwordless (like key vaults) works for my automated processes, but even if they don't, it's been fairly good for me and has a decent contingency (self-hosted).
1Password because we’re an Apple household (aside from my work laptop, and even then it’s easy enough to use through the web interface). The main thing that irks me about it is that they keep offering discounts for new subscribers but longtime users have to keep paying the full price. But I’ve been considering switching to Proton for email, and they’re in the process of rolling out a password manager that seems similar so I may be switching to that sooner rather than later.
I used KeepassXC and Keepass2Android but the implementation seems a bit janky at times and the need to sync it manually or let it sync via a cloud is not all that comfortable.
I switched to Bitwarden about a month ago and consider it still as a test phase for now. I'm not that happy with just having my passwords lying around on a random cloud server.
Dashlane here. I self host a lot and could definitely use Keypass or something locally, but the risk of losing all your passwords if I fuck something up was too great. I'll pay professionals.
I used to use KeePass, but switched to https://www.passwordstore.org with a YubiKey after discovering how janky the KeePass 2FA system is designed a while back.
I use Bitwarden and honestly couldn’t be happier. My partner and I both use it, so it’s incredibly easy to share any credentials we both need to use. It also works great on every platform I’ve personally tried it on, and I like that I can use it for totp 2fa as well.
Bitwarden. I left LastPass about 3 years ago and haven’t looked back. I pay for bitwarden so I can use the TOTP feature and because i can’t wrap my head around the recovery process for my wife if something were to happen to me. I think another, more technically fluent human will need to be involved if that ever comes to pass.
I use OneNote, with a bunch of coded words that mean other things and mix and match those to make longer passwords that are all different. Because I'm too lazy for a real app, and this is secure enough and useful enough.
I rolled my own, actually.
I don't store any passwords (even encrypted).
Instead, I just append the site name to my base password (which is in my head), hash it, and base-52 it.
(I also start each password with the same uppercase letter, lowercase letter, punctuation mark, just to ensure it gets past any bullshit filters)
I like that there's nothing that can be leaked (except what's in my head) and nothing to be lost and nothing to back up.
I just lead the migration from LastPass to 1Password for the business I work at. It was really prompted by the breaches at LP and their poor handling of it. For personal stuff, I just did whatever I was doing at work because the business plans come with free licenses for personal accounts.
At the moment BitWarden, but I'm looking to go to selfhost a VaultWarden server. I've alrrady done it one time with a raspi but after some week it crashed out. Next time I'll use a x86 machine.
I've been using KeePass and KeePassdroid for at least 10 years now. "Sync" my dB through one drive, only because at one time we were allowed to use our personal one at work, but since they blocked personal folders in favor of corporate ones it is much less handy.
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.
Dashlane. I need a service where I can share/manage things for my elderly parents, and Dashlane is easier for that after LastPass became a dumpster fire
I use pass but recommend Bitwarden when people ask for a recommendation.
When using pass, if you have a lot of devices and forget to sync at times you better know at least basic git lol.
I used to use 1Password standalone, but they moved away from it and started only selling password management as a service and I really didn't want that, so I'm running Bitwarden now on a private VaultWarden instance for myself and my wife. It's been great and is a good option if you want to run your own platform and not use Dropbox or other third party cloud storage or platforms for the data. Obviously, you're then responsible for backing the data up, etc., but I like the flexibility and data ownership of it.
Using Keeper at the moment. I used to use 1password, then moved to Bitwarden. Using keeper now because my employer has licensing to give each employee a personal account and a business account for free. So, basically I'm just taking advantage of that.
I have been on Bitwarden for about 8 years now. Paid for it about 7 years ago. I LOVE it. I also use KeePassXC On my Linux box and for work - That's a great platform for anything that requires even more security (Work, Security focused websites, etc)
Keepass2 and keepass2android combined with input stick to type my passwords wherever I need them. It's a wonderful combination. I host my password file on Google drive and other places but I keep a key file on the local device. It's not perfect and wouldn't never stop a threat from a state actor but I don't think I've got time for that kind of security anyway.
pass
I like the fact that it is a minimal and simple program that does one thing, and does it well. If you already use GnuPG for encryption, you will get used to it quickly.
The only downside for me is that it doesn't encrypt password names, only the content.
It also has many plugins and android/ios apps.
My approach is a bit more complicated than of many commenters here: I use both Keepass and Bitwarden.
Bitawarden is for most of the passwords, and I use it to share some passwords with family.
Keepass is for the most sensitive stuff - online banking and emails. Also, I use it for non-web apps. Keepass DB is synced with Syncthing between desktop and mobile.
TOTP is handled by Aegis android app. I was thinking to move it to Keepass, but I really like interface of a dedicated app. And it's data automatically backed up to Nextcloud
I use KeePassXC in my linux desktop, KeePassDX in my android smartphone and syncthing-fork/syncthing to sync modifications between all devices. The encrypted database (long passphrase generated with Diceware method) never goes online. I also use yubikeys and multi factor auth for all important accounts
Been using Keeper. I would run a self-hosted Bitwarden instance but I travel a ton and don't trust AWS / GCP with my data (would put it on a Raspberry Pi I have lying around). If I didn't travel, I would 100% have self-hosted it for the added security and peace of mind.
So far, I've had a great experience with Keeper. It hasn't had a breach in a hot minute, and it auto fills on all my devices perfectly regardless of OS. Very happy so far, but will probably move as soon as I stop travelling quite as much.
What I use is just password manager. It's offline and it only backs up to your phone or SD card. I ended up getting the paid version so I could store more than 12. I never looked for another one because this one does exactly what I want and ir seems solid privacy wise.
KeepassXC on desktop and KeepassDX on my android device, synced using syncthing. I don't trust servers keeping all of my passwords anymore, encrypted or not
