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!

second. i think this one is the best. works well on mobile and desktop. can share stuff. has a good free level. i love it

[–] Sileia@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

Third. We even formed a organisation to share passwords to streaming sites (looking at you, Netflix). I like the emergency feature when something happen to me and my partner can access my passwords and login information.

[–] chika@vlemmy.net 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Seems most people are recommending Bitwarden! Is it free to selfhost? I'm new to selfhosting but I'd love to give this a shot.

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.

[–] envis10n@waveform.social 10 points 1 year ago

This. Love Bitwarden

[–] Jagermo@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

The passphrase generator is the best thing. Yes, I know, I should never see/need the password in clear text, but when you have to login onto something on your TV, it's nice to have words that make sense.

Yup bitwarden is a good option. Curious if Proton's new manager will be any good.

I started using Bitwarden a few years ago and it's been excellent.

KeePass has been my go to password manager since 2012, and all the apps on various platforms do a good job of integrating with their respective platforms. I personally use KeePassXC on Ubuntu, works great (except no auto-type using wayland). Hardest part is picking a file syncing service for the database file.

[–] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 8 points 1 year ago

Yep, i use KeepassXC on Ubuntu and KeepassDX on android. I use syncthing for syncing

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.

Self hosted Vaultwarden. It's great.

[–] kawaii_black_mass@lemmy.one 15 points 1 year ago

Bitwarden user here. I used to use LastPass, but it's hard to beat free software that does the same thing just as well.

[–] Equinox@lemmy.one 14 points 1 year ago

I have been using Bitwarden for a long time and never regretted it. If I wanted to have an offline password manager I would look to KeePassXC.

[–] waspentalive@lemmy.one 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] Milarepa_07@lemmy.one 13 points 1 year ago

I’m also using Bitwarden currently.

[–] emzzy@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I use KeePassXC (KeePassDX on mobile) synced via SyncThing for sensitive/important logins, and Bitwarden for practically everything else.

[–] thatonedude1210 12 points 1 year ago

Big fan of Bitwarden here.

[–] darkfoe@lemmy.serverfail.party 12 points 1 year ago

I've been happy with Bitwarden thus far. Used Lastpass back in the day, but migrated over when the renewal prices started creeping up.

[–] ozoned 12 points 1 year ago

Bitwarden FTW

Bitwarden is my go to

[–] rstein@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago

Started with Lastpass, but migrated to Bitwarden because of open source. And then came the trouble at Lastpass.

[–] ilovetamako@lemmy.fmhy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ElLoco@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago
[–] AlchemicalAgent@mander.xyz 9 points 1 year ago

One more for Bitwarden. You can even run your own local server and avoid using the cloud.

KeepassXC and various other KeePass2 compatible apps depending on the OS I happen to be using.

[–] Lx32@feddit.it 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] sunaurus@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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)

KeePassXC with the db synced by syncthing

[–] Myshadow@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] Vexz@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

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.

Been very happy with Bitwarden for quite a few years now.

[–] Crakila@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Bitwarden for personal, 1Password for work stuff.

I much prefer Bitwarden
