If you are not using a password manager you are doing it wrong.
Any security researcher worth there salt says to use one .Not sure what the question is. Bitwarden and 1pass are general good recommendations.
KeePass. Putting your passwords on someone else's webserver is just asking for trouble.
My mom would use the same password for everything or she would mix it up a little tiny bit.
Her passwords were like.
Rainbow2002! rainbow2003 RAINBOW!!!
It was a different word from rainbow, but that's just an example.
I got her using two factor with Google with a really good password and she's using the built-in Google password manager. Now all of her passwords are 20+ random strings instead of a single word with different numbers at the end.
I think that's a much better system than what she was using before.
Butwarden. Always Bitwarden. Just like almost everyone else in here it seems like.
My nickname in HS was Buttwarden.
I've used 1Password for years. Works well on all my devices (MacBook and Samsung Galaxy phone). I'd absolutely recommend you use one.
Not only are they great for handling complex passwords, but a benefit I've not seen mentioned here is that they are a way of just keeping track of just how many sites and accounts you've registered with.
For example - You buy one product once from an online store, save a password so you can monitor the order status but never use that site again. Before I used 1Password I'd just have forgotten I'd even used that site. But now I can just look down my 1password account and see a whole list of all these passwords and accounts ive created. And there's loads. You forget just how many online accounts and passwords you have out there.
I absolutely use one and regret I didn't use one earlier. I remember so often how I had to reset my passwords for different sites. Now every password I super complex because I don't have to remember it.
I can't imagine not having a password manager. I even got my mom to switch to bitwarden. I'm not sure if I just don't know how to do it, but the only thing I wish I could do with bitwarden is share a password with another bitwarden user.
Started with LastPass many years ago - but has changed to 1Password just last week.
Bitwarden and Dashlane were close contenders, but I found that 1Password's sharing feature was better in my usage scenarios.
I use Chrome password manager. Is there any difference to this vs. Bitwarden or other services? Chrome is super convenient since it suggests passwords in browser while signing up and auto-inputs them to apps/websites cross platform. And also integrates with GBoard to quickly search password to copy into a field.
Not sure if Bitwarden has any additional features other than the benefit of not keeping all my info with Google. Or if it's less convenient and I have to go into the Bitwarden app or something everytime to look up or generate passwords?
Used last pass for years until they decided no account sync for free users now I use bitwarden which I find is fantastic.
Have been using 1password for about 5 years now and have not have a single problem. I really like the integration with browsers and the iOS app. I am keen on testing protons though since I use the VPN and email.
It’s 1Password for me. Looks good, works good and is available for every platform that I use.
For work I use KeepasXC and Bitwarden+Vaultwarden as well.
Definitely recommend using one. Don't have a preference for any particular one, I use Google's for simplicity sake. But unless you have a complicated system that allows you to have different passwords for every online service (or maybe if you have a great memory) it's simply more secure to use a password manager. Most sites have emails as logins, and if you reuse the same email/password combination you're just asking for trouble for when one day one of those sites get hacked, your password is sold, and someone spams your combo across all popular services and somehow ends up in your bank.
I've used password managers for as long as I've used the internet. I find it absolutely essential.
If you're not currently using one, it's likely that as the number of your login credentials increase, bad habits will increase. So it's probably better to use a password manager any way.
If you're using good, separate password, saving logins in the browser might work for you too. In that case I'd suggest you read up on the security your browser provides, ability to sync, migrate etc.
Keepass + Syncthing awesome combination
I'm not going to say whether it's the best or not because I have not compared, but I have used Keepass2Android for years which seemlessly integrates with my cloud storage and key files (stored offline), has useful randomized password generation, and is overall unobtrusive
I used Bitwarden, I just signed up for pro last month. I like that it’s cross platform and there’s a web app too I believe.
I personally moved to Bitwarden from 1Password due to the cost, and I believe for an average user, Bitwarden is definitely the way to go as it is very value-friendly (at $10 USD/year), and it is open-sourced unlike many other proprietary password managers. 1Password may get more features, however it being $3.99 USD/month, many users don't need the extra security features and I strongly believe that common sense is the best security for any user.
it is has become so much easier to manage my password after I started to use bitwarden it is just convenient
I haven't heard anyone mention Google password manager, which is the one I started using recently. I assume very few people trust it because... Google?
I use 1Password because I got my wife to use it. The paid plan is worth it just for the fact that she also uses it. If it was just myself, I would probably self-host Bitwarden.
I've used Dashlane for a few years now and I can't say there are any issues with it at all.
I used to just use a list stored in Google Keep, "encrypted" in such a way that only I knew what the passwords were. That got really old.
I just completed a study of Enterprise password management and move my company from LastPass to BitWarden.
1password was a close second.
I used to use Bitwarden and it's a great App but you need to export your saved password list frequently somewhere safe just in case.
I now use Safe In Cloud, the backup can be restored from their servers.
Afaik, the backups encrypted and Safe In Cloud have no access anyway, check out the Playstore reviews for more details.

Switched from LastPass to 1Password after their ridiculous security breaches and haven't looked back. 1Password also kindly gave me the first year free after sending them my LP invoice.
Is it bad that I just love built-in Chrome/Google auto-fill manager? Is this not safe? Autosync to Android does it for me + the fact that i can auto-generate and save/fill passwords seamlessly without having to switch between apps
