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!

Bitwarden, easily. You can self host if you want to for added privacy. I don't, but the option is there.

[–] Scio@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Bitwarden here too

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[–] 7eter@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

It might be a minimal effort to set up. But afterwards any pw-manager will propably save you lots of effort.

Vaultwarden for work, KeePass and KeePassDroid for private use.

[–] Protegee9850@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Self hosted Bitwarden is the bees knees.

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

I've been using keepass on PC and KeepassDX on Android.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Keepass on OneDrive, so I can access it from my computer and phone.

[–] pound_heap@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

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.

KeePassXC and Nextloud to sync things between devices…

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bitwarden, I use it everywhere. I even wrote a Bitwarden app for my Linux phone.

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.

[–] torham@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use pass as well and acknowledge it's not for everyone. For me, the lack of automatic synchronization is a feature though, I don't feel comfortable having all my passwords on my phone in case it gets stolen.

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

[–] Monk12314@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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)

Passman on self hosted nextcloud with passman android app from fdroid and browser extension on laptop

[–] chf@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

self hosted passbolt is very convenient, didn't see more secure alternatives. The only bad thing is that it cannot save TOTPs currently

Bitwarden for several years.

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

[–] MeowKittyWow@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Rixonomic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.
