The Emperor protects.
So what password manager do you use?

I'm between Bitwarden and Keeper. And I don't know which of both shall I use, I've also tried like 5 of them.

I've used 1password for years, i resisted their subscription service for the longest time but finally gave in and coughed up the $35/year they wanted

it's really, really good

it's this

I didn't bother with the software though, their firefox extension and integration is sufficiently needs-suiting

that said it's online rather than a local database like Keepass, which is... good and bad

I use 1password and I just switched to subscription, i bought the $100 giftcard and it doesn't work and the whole staff is at planning meeting this week so my account remains frozen. I'm not too impressed so far.

And tbh it's debatable whether that's more or less secure than trusting that your password manager isn't just stealing your passwords straight up

Unless you actually audited the sources yourself and compiled it from those sources, of course.

browser lastpass is such a goddamn loving awful website. unbelievably clunky. although it did come in handy when there was a permissions snafu and i couldn't get a password i needed but it let me inspect element to get it

I used 1pass for a couple years until realizing that using it via a browser extension is a bad idea and risks e.g. a flaw in the browser or extension quickly leading to arbitrary websites seeing everything in it

but 1pass linux support is:
1) browser extension or
2) gently caress off

I went with option 2 and am now using bitkeeperbitwarden

oh also I used to have my 2fa/totp codes directly in the password manager, but that also seemed like a bad idea, so now I keep them in a separate program. namely Authy but I dont have any particular preference for it

I'm beginning to realize just how utterly abysmal security I have. I've got most everything stored in Chrome passwords, which is probably really loving stupid because I'm pretty sure they aren't encrypted at all and in "the cloud". I really do like the convenience of chrome suggesting highly complex passwords, remembering and pullIng them out. Does 1pass do that? And I don't use 2FA except on Steam and a few other sites, so I should probably set that up on everything I can. I guess Authy is the go-to for 2fa?

keepass, mostly for historical reasons

judging by my .kdbx file i seem to have started using it in 2007 and i don't know if there were any particularly appealing alternatives at the time. 13 years of use without the database file ever getting corrupted or lost or rendered unopenable by some backwards incompatible change seems like a pretty good track record to me - i can't recall ever having to restore it from backup

two main annoyances are that a) it doesn't work on my phone and b) syncing the file between computers occasionally causes some hassle with the lockfile, but eh, i haven't been annoyed enough to look into alternatives yet

if you can't remember all of your (secure) passwords, you have too many accounts. close them and go outside.

I like that 1password now has a much improved browser interface + 2FA code generators built in (and available on that web interface) so I can grab my personal passwords at work when I like need to log into my bank or something and don't want to go outside to look at my phone
