Bitwarden all day every day. I don’t even know any of my passwords because they’re all randomly generated. Try to guess my password now hacker man
Bitwarden, all the way.
A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.
Bitwarden is really great imo.
Everyone should be using a password manager. Every service should have a different password (and some service should have several passwords) and it’s impossible for the average person to keep track of all of those. Every time I hear about someone losing control of an account it’s because they were using the same password as another service.
I recommend:
- KeePassDX: Can be completely offline. Probably the most secure but can be a little awkward to use sometimes.
- Bitwarden: Cloud based but open source. You could run a server but the main service offers MOST of the features for free.
Your mileage may very with some of the proprietary platforms. However my job uses 1 Password and it seems to be fairly safe.
Password manager-less life with notebooks and reused passwords is life in the stone age. If you or anyone you know isn’t using one, get on bitwarden.
Everyone knows why password manageras are absolutely essential, but here’s an often neglected perk: I can list every site I ever signed up to. Wanna delete some old accounts? “Did you sign up to X yet?” Simples.
Yes, do it! Now! It’s the safest way, but only by choosing the right and trusted ones. Examples:
- The expensive but good one: 1Password
- The free, geeky and difficult one for normal users: Keepass.
- The simple and free and beloved one: Bitwarden
- The don’t try it ever because they will leak your data: Lastpass.
Bitwarden is the best.
What are your thoughts on password managers?
They are mandatory in current digital age.
Do you use one?
Yes. Bitwarden.
Would you recommend it to others?
Already do and most are receptive to it once you show them that every single one of them were caught up in a breach at some point.
KeePassXC here. Locally encrypted, Locally stored, cloud backup of an encrypted file, synced with SyncThing to mobile devices. I will never trust nor recommend a cloud based manager with all the breaches.
Bitwarden is just fantastic, it works so well. After migrating from LastPass years ago to BW I haven’t looked back once and have encouraged friends to switch over as well.
Yes, Bitwarden is the way to go
In general, password managers are a must-have in today’s world. The question is not if you should have one, but which one and why.
As a Software Engineer very conscious about security and privacy, but also with a high practicality sense, I’d say you should opt for whatever you feel more comfortable.
If you don’t want to manage anything, then 1password, BitWarden, LastPass or any of those might be right for you. If you are more of the kind to tinker with everything, then you can have your own OwnCloud/NextCloud and use KeePassXC.
I particularly used the later setup, but NextCloud was too much to handle for me, and settled with KeePassXC + Dropbox.
You do you, but use a password manager.
Another vouch for bitwarden, its free and has everything I need. Been using it for at least 5 years.
I can’t imagine life without one. So many bad password habits can be eliminated by using a password manager to generate a strong, unique password for every site you use, and devoting your limited password-remembering powers to one decent master password. (Or better yet, secure your password manager further using other forms of authentication.)
It’s not just for helping you (and your less technically inclined friends and family) remember and use strong, unique passwords, though. Since a password manager only recognizes the real web address that any given password was designated to, it won’t be fooled by a scam website using a similar-looking name to a legitimate one. While this doesn’t eliminate the risk of falling for a scam, every little bit helps, no matter how skilled you are at cybersecurity.
I use Bitwarden, which I’ve been using ever since Lastpass started limiting you to using a single device class (mobile or desktop) for free accounts. It integrates with both Firefox and Chromium-based browsers and with the password manager features in smartphones. Their free account is nice, but I went with the paid option so that I could keep and use 2FA passcodes within Bitwarden itself. There have been several debates between doing it like this versus using a separate authenticator app, but I feel like it’s both very secure and really, really convenient. It encourages me to use increased security on every website that supports it.
