I use both bitwarden and chrome.
pass
Keep it simple.
I use dashlane and I want to change. Any ideas on something that can offer the same functionality?
ie awesome with input fields for autocomplete, ability to save documents and with a good android app?
I also use Dashlane, but I don't see anyone else mentioning it. Why do you want to change? Is there something wrong with it?

I use 1Password Family to manage mine and my parents and it's great. I wouldn't do without.
I'm probably an ignorant paranoid about them, I know I should google a bit of them, but instead I'm going for the ol' trusty ask the community.
Do they save your passwords locally or in the cloud? If locally, what if I want to sign in in another device? What if I lose the device I have my passwords on? What if they hack my device? If in the cloud: How can I know the service is not stealing my information? If I can access it anywhere, wouldn't that mean it also needs a password? Wouldn't that make it twice as unsafe as it would only take one password to access the rest?
Edit: Damn, I got extremely useful answers, I'm starting to like lemmy!
I've only used BitWarden, so this may not be a universal answer, but... you do access your password vault with a single password. Make sure it's complex but memorable. "WayneCommaAdam42069LOL!" for instance. Nobody's going to brute force that, but you'll also be able to remember it. Then once you're past that, you'll have a list of each login you save (each entry can include website, username, password, personal notes, etc). You can randomly generate a password, so that (for example) your lemmy.world password generates as "L812#zksKa01S@ks" and you can just copy/paste from your vault into the login page without having to remember that string of characters.
As for how BitWarden secures your passwords, since they're available to view after you get past the initial login... I've got no idea but a lot of people seem to vouch for it, so if BitWarden (or the other big trusted equivalents) gets compromised, we're all in a lot of trouble.
And of course, each site you log into will still have its own password recovery, 2FA, etc options. So even if something happens to BitWarden and you can't log into your bank account, you can still call up your bank and get your password reset.
- There are managers that will store them on their servers and others that are local.
- You can sync it through something like Google drive/Nextcloud.
- You should back up your password vault.
- Your device may be compromised, but your vault is still encrypted. Really depends on what kind of hack it is.
- You don't really unless they're an open source one like Bitwarden.
- Yes. Instead of remembering a lot of passwords, you remember the master password to your vault
- No. Because randomly generated passwords gated behind one secure password you remember is better than reusing the same/variations of one password.
You can try Bitwarden if you want a hosted solution that's easy to use. Or, use KeePassXC and compatible mobile apps while syncing it through a cloud service. I do the latter.

This is a hard one. So the first hurdle that I came across is with the font used for the padlock's brand. My best guesses so far have been "Elsses", "Elzzes", or "Elcces", but that doesn't really turn up anything useful. This doesn't surprise me much, though, because looking at the font of "Top Security" tells me that this is probably a pretty simple lock from a Chinese manufacturer. Given that it's probably a basic 5-pin pin-tumbler lock loaded up with standard pins, which as you can probably imagine conflicts a bit with the "Top security" statement on the face of the lock, but that's a typical thing these manufacturers do.
I also wouldn't be surprised if the shackle was made from regular non-hardened stainless steel. It's also likely that it used a regular latch on the inside instead of a ball-bearing, thus making it vulnerable to shim attacks. These two points being the most important since thieves will typically gravitate towards the quickest and easiest ways to get past security instead of taking the time to learn how to pick.
In the end, it's an image that I see has been used for a number of posts and articles relating to security online. I wouldn't be surprised if the manufacturer didn't even exist anymore today.
Oh. Sorry, you were asking about password managers. I guess I got a little distracted. I use BitWarden. It's pretty good.
I prefer blackberry password keeper
I don't use a password manager, I don't trust the people that run them forever and I don't trust the software to be totally secure. I write them down, plus I have a mental system to generate passwords that I can usually rely on.

I'm pretty happy with Nordpass. Works great on both windows and android. Could never remember all my passwords without it.
password manager saves time. why not
