What is your favorite password manager? (lemmy.ml)

I started digging into opensource password managers and found that they all suck major ball sack. I ended up picking nothing. My two runner-ups were bitwarden. It works on Linux, Android, whatever apple's shit runs on, and even runs on PC's with the OS that you usually delete first thing. But the major drawback is that I can't trust it. It's got a "premium" version, and that has always meant a slow steady spiral into "you must pay now that we have you by the balls" situation. Another drawback is that it's centralized, kill the company and so go your passwords I suppose.

The other runner up is called liso. This one comes with two major drawbacks. One is that is browser only so far. The other one is that it doesn't work on Linux yet. Such a shit shit option. Everything else out there wants you to pay for encryption.

I did end up learning about pass on Linux. It creates encrypted passwords and there's some compatibility with guis and maybe available on Android??? Big question mark. I've tried nothing yet. My password list seems to grow daily.

So what's your favorite one?

Even when i take into account the subscription, the fact that it is owned by a company and thus centralized, i still go with 1Password. For the simple reason that it works on all my devices, has a dedicated application and browser plugins and through the years has just worked for me.

For me, at this moment, it is that part convenience to keep using it.

I use 1Password, but I'm probably going to migrate to a self hosted Vaultwarden before my next renewal.

Just this week LastPass was hacked. Not the password database I guess, but it really points out how silly the idea of holding everyone's passwords in your server is.

PwSafe (https://pwsafe.org)

The format is completely open and there are many implementations and apps. I have used the file (in that format) for at least 20 years. I've gone through different apps as they come and go. I sync the data file between all my systems/devices using a Nextcloud server.

My current main apps are Password Gorilla (on Linux - also works on Windows), Strongbox on iPhone, and PasswdSafe on Android-based devices (such as /e/).
