My favorite password manager is KeypassDx. I also use proton pass. What do you use and why?
Bitwarden idk why I use it but it works fine for me
Bitwarden. It is open source, reliable, easy to use, and compatible with everything. The free version has nearly everything, but I have the paid version to support development because $10 per year is very reasonable.
I do regularly export my password vault to KeePassXC as my backup though.
Does Bitwarden have sharing/family features? I’d like to switch but those are a hard requirement for me
Yes! They have a family plan that is basically their organization plan but cheaper.
Great to know! I’m on a similar plan for 1password now so I’ll have to look at switching
Awesome, thanks!
Bitwarden, i can self host it and it is quite convenient to have official apps for all platforms i use.
I specifically use Vaultwarden. Great for syncing and sharing across family
Same here, self hosted on docker. I migrated from KeepassXC and I’m very happy.
Keepass was ok but because I have various devices (Mac, Windows, Android, and iPad) all accessing it, at times it would cause issues. No issues that way with VaultWarden.
If you self-host, do you get TOTP support and sharing, or do you need to also pay for a subscription?
You totally get it and sharing without paying. I encourage you to take a look at it. Super easy to setup with docker and a front end proxy.
I use keepass2android to access my keypassxc database.
Bitwarden. The UI is about to be updated to something more modern so that’s no longer is an issue for most people. It’s also open source, so yes.
The 10€ per year as the premium subscription is just unbeatable. You pay less than a euro per month for a reliable and robust password manager. And you don’t even need the premium subscription, because almost everything is free. I honestly consider it a donation rather than a subscription.
Also how I treat it
10 EUR per year is a bit more than half an EUR per month
oh yeah sorry meant less than a euro
KeePassDx because of Magikeyboard to not have to copy paste in stuff.
After using it for two years i just find how magikeyboard works by your comment 🤦♂️
Android has password auto-fill by default, and it works with most password managers, including Bitwarden
KeePass. It has everything I need and is fully under my own control.
This is why i also like it
Hands down, Bitwarden app on phone and in browser. Vaultwarden self hosted. Since I host it at home, I know it’s always in my server. The winning thing for me is that Bitwarden Supports Webuathn now, you can use it as it’s own webuathn key you authorize to log in with, so basically go the site you want to login with and when it asks for the webuathn, you can either have Bitwarden use the credentials you stored for it or your own biometric or hardware key instead.
With this, I sign into Authentik for my SSO just by clicking one link, and Bitwarden prompts to log in and I click the option. I’m auto logged into my server and no UN/PW passed to it.
I’ve tested others and nothing quite comes close except for KeepassXC, but for me, it’s a matter of personal preference on my side. I’ve been with Bitwarden since the early days.
KeePassXC + Keepass2Andriod, keep it all synced using Syncthing. Desktop/Laptop/Phone all have the passwords synchronized, it is super convenient.
I have been doing it this way for years, never had any issues; just starting to investigate using passkeys where I can. So that is a new adventure; I’ll see how it goes with my current workflow.
Protonpass user here. Their aliasing is just too good to have.
Proton Pass is not the only password manager with email aliasing integration. For example, 1Password integrates with Fastmail aliases, and Bitwarden can be used with multiple services: addy.io, SimpleLogin, Firefox Relay, Fastmail, DuckDuckGo Email Protection, and Forward Email.
While true, none of the other ones are as seamless and easy as what Proton achieves. I’ve tried multiple other services, and always come back to Proton for exactly this.
This feature is actually cool
Personally I use Enpass.
It’s both my password manager, but also the place where I keep track of notes about devices, accounts and software licences.I tried to change over to Bitwarden a few weeks ago, because that is what my office wants us to move to, but the limitations are not really bridgeable for me. Bitwarden seem to me to be very specifically a password manager and not much else.
Yeah im on enpass for quite a few years myself. Both android and pc. Does what it says on the tin… :)
I notice there aren’t a lot of Dashlane fans. (I use Bitwarden myself.)
Is there something wrong with them?
Bitwarden is simple, reliable and works on all of my devices.
I never used it. Is it possible to self host?
You can self host with Vaultwarden! It’s just the server; you use the same Bitwarden clients.
Yep! It’s fully open source and free. I use the hosted version though.
Looks like i need to run a server. I actually wanted a fully offline one. Maybe I’ll stick with keepass
well, running a server is in the definition of self-hosting
Like others’ve said, Bitwarden is awesome if you want a (selfhosted or hosted) server (e.g. as a much better replacement for LastPass).
If you want an offline password manager, KeePass is the way to go (i.e. KeePassDX/KeePassXC for mobile/pc).
Proton pass.
Used bitwarden for a long time til I lost my 2fa and lost the account. I also lost proton’s 2fa and they helped me get the account back. Been a customer since.
