I'm using KeePass currently, since I don't really want to use anything publicly hosted. But I was curious to see what other people have been using!

At the moment BitWarden, but I'm looking to go to selfhost a VaultWarden server. I've alrrady done it one time with a raspi but after some week it crashed out. Next time I'll use a x86 machine.

1password is the only one I trust

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Firefox sync. The service syncs between your actual devices. Nothing is stored online. There is a catch. Everything is encrypted using your password. So if you forget your password, you lose all your passwords.

I sync between my Linux desktop (OpenSuse Tumblweed), my Android phone, and my Steamdeck.

Bitwarden for personal, 1Password for work stuff.

I much prefer Bitwarden

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bitwarden. Very happy with it. Been procrastinating setting up my own hosted vault.

Been with 1Password for a few years now, coming from LostPassword. I feel it strikes a balance with the whole being secure and being convenient.

Bitwarden FTW

KeepassXC :)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Selfhosted vaultwarden instance

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (13 children)

Bitwarden, all the way. On my mobile devices, laptops, etc.

I used to use KeePass but the UI is so antiquated and features also just haven't kept up. Bitwarden free, open source, audited, syncs and works everywhere flawlessly, and I can self host if I ever want to. It's great.

Using bitwarden for company and private purpose in Smartphone and laptop with Browser integration since two years ans beeing really happy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

KeepassXC. Migrated from KeepassX which I used for a long ass time (over a decade? Maybe more!)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Been very happy with Bitwarden for quite a few years now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Like some others here I use bitwarden, but I'd prefer to move to selfhosted vaultwarden. I haven't taken the leap of opening my server to the world so my family's devices can stay synced. Also, I don't trust my admin skill with server stability and security.

Bitwarden. It works on iOS, windows and Linux.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

KeepassXC and various other KeePass2 compatible apps depending on the OS I happen to be using.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I primarily use Bitwarden with a self hosted Vaultwarden server on my NAS. But since Bitwarden doesn't support an auto-type feature (not the same as auto-fill) I use KeePassXC on my desktop PC for applications too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I've been using KeePass for a very long time. It works, and the Google Drive plugin syncs without any issues. I have it set up on multiple devices, all pulling from my Google Drive, and each instance of KeePass has it's own key file. So even if someone got a hold of the main database, it's useless without the key file, which is only hosted on specific devices.

Kepass (and Keepass2Android) + Nextcloud instances to keep sync and backups

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

KeepassXC on desktop and KeepassDX on android. Sync with Nextcloud. Its great. Smooth as silk since I stopped messing with Nextcloud.

I've been hosting my own vaultwarden server for a few months now and it's been great, especially being able to move my TOTP stuff off of my phone

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Unix pass! Because I have to be different apparently

If you're into DIY, you can get a very robust system set up with GnuPG, rofi-pass, and git. Plus I can even push passwords to my phone using Android-Password-Store.

Keepass is great, use it at work.

1Password for my personal stuff

Lastpass has had too many leaks / issues for me to ever trust them again

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Selfhosted Vaultwarden and the Bitwarden apps.

Gives me access to all my things basically any time and anywhere. Its pretty neat. And if I don't want it anymore, I can export the data and just nuke it - and it's gone. :)

KeepassXC on PC

KeepassDX on Android

The database is synced between devices with syncthing (selfhosted, stuff is synced using wifi) so my database is not uploaded to the internet

I use bitwarden and it's great! Will test out Proton Pass when they open it up.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Self hosted vaultwarden for personal use and pass at work.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I used KeepassXC and Keepass2Android but the implementation seems a bit janky at times and the need to sync it manually or let it sync via a cloud is not all that comfortable.

I switched to Bitwarden about a month ago and consider it still as a test phase for now. I'm not that happy with just having my passwords lying around on a random cloud server.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I use KeepassXC and Keepass2Android Offline and sync everything with syncthing. Works without any issue very reliable since years.

1Password because we’re an Apple household (aside from my work laptop, and even then it’s easy enough to use through the web interface). The main thing that irks me about it is that they keep offering discounts for new subscribers but longtime users have to keep paying the full price. But I’ve been considering switching to Proton for email, and they’re in the process of rolling out a password manager that seems similar so I may be switching to that sooner rather than later.

I just use hunter2 as my password literally everywhere. Otherwise it's easy to forget if you use more than one. I also use Bitwarden to manage all those passwords. It's really easy cuz you only need to type "hunter2" only once when you log in. After that you can just click it.

KeePass still too! I use keepass2 on Android and it's basically changed my life. Auto fill w/ bio unlock...it's the BEST
