What password manager do you recommend? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Okay so yesterday, I changed my password as a precaution because of the hack, and just now I decided to clean my browser tabs and re login and almost forgot my password. I'm done dealing with passwords.

What password manager do you recommend?

Features I’m looking for

-Open Source

-Can be synced to cloud (I don’t want self host)

-Can be accessed via a browser

-Cross platform, the more platforms, the better

-End to End Encrypted, and Encrypted at rest on my device, also need some way to authenticate before releasing the password, like a pin or biometrics

-Autofill for browser and apps

-Free (can be a freemium model, but I need the base tier to be free, too broke to spend money on this lol)

-Can export the passwords to a file

I never used a password manager before so sorry if I seem like a noob.

I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.

I'd say https://keepassxc.org/ covers all of your needs except the "Can be accessed via a browser" (Autofill works fine with a browser plugin)

except the “Can be accessed via a browser”

Well - this is a selfhosted solution but still would give the access via browser. https://keeweb.info/

KeepassXC with a browser plugin on the desktop and Keepass2Android on the smartphone. The password files are synced over my self-hosted Nextcloud and backed up to OneDrive. I couldn't be happier with this setup.

I would be happier with KeePass if the Android situation wasn't so bad. The most reliable app still uses UI elements from goddamn Froyo and the more sleek, modern, auto fill aware app can't deal with cloud sync to save its life. I hate it here.

I use KeepassDX on Android and it feels alright

[–] quortez@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

KeepassDX is the modern one I'm referring to. Because of the whole Android 11 SAF/scoped storage issue, syncing to databases and clouds that use DocumentsUI (the special folders you see when your Files manager window opens) fails all the time. I've repeatedly lost data due to KDX not properly saving or syncing, causing file conflicts and the passwords I literally just saved to vanish the next time I unlock the database.

The developer's response is that it's everyone else's fault that their apps' SAF implementation is bad, not KDX.

I absolutely cannot recommend using it.

What are you using for sync? I use Nextcloud and haven't had any sync issues.
