    I use google chrome free and easy..

      It's google, not very secure since as long as your chrome browser is open, anyone can access the login information. I would suggest trying bitwarden, its also free and you are not locked to using Chrome.

      • That's not quite correct. If you use a password or a PIN to log on to Windows, Chrome will ask for it before granting you access to the saved password(s). But again it's Chrome after all :)

        • Ah, so it had improved since last time i used it a while ago. Before passwords would always be autofilled, just the regular browser saved passwords

      But then you have to use Chrome.

  • Is it really safe for 3rd party apps to manage your password?

    • +1

      How would you recommend to manage them? Just curious, as I am currently using bitwarden

      • Hmm.. No recommendation. Just feel unsure. Because some websites don't store passwords in a secure way and it supposed to be better for the password managers to generate random ones. But at same time, I'm a bit hesitant to hand my secrets to other ones who I don't really know.

          1Password can't read your passwords -

          Bitwarden works on the same concept and is also open-source, so in theory, can be audited by anyone with enough knowledge.

        • Good point! There was another password manager that allowed you to store your main database file wherever you wanted, such as your computer or Google drive or other systems. Can't remember the name but that might also be an option for some more advanced users

            @pichxlonco: KeePass

          • +1

            @pichxlonco: You can do this too with Bitwarden just host it yourself and you can still access it over the internet but instead of it connecting to Bitwarden servers it connects to your own server.

    • Safer than most of the other ways people store their passwords, eg. a notepad, spreadsheet, own memory.

      Yes, a reputable password manager on a secure system is the recommended way to manage passwords. For important accounts, the use of 2FA would also be recommended.

    • +2

      I don't know my own passwords to any of the websites I sign up to. I know 1 password (to 1Password) and it's secured behind a secret key, 2FA and Yubico Physical Key.

      The encryption is E2E which means that even if a hacker stole 1Passwords vaults, it would take decades to actually crack into a single vault (and what's the chance they'll pick my vault? 1:1000000?)

      Far more secure than using the same password for every website (which is what I used to do), more secure than writing passwords down on a pad, and easier than trying to remember passwords to 100's of different websites.

    There are plenty of good free options and not just Chrome.

      I've tried both BitWarden and 1Password (and DashLane and other services) and find that my preference is 1Password. It's sleeker, and it worked just a little bit better for some obsure websites with weird inputs for passwords/2FA or multi-paged login systems (like Google/Microsoft).

      I do like that I can host BitWarden myself, and the managed $10 version is pretty cheap, but I don't have the patience anymore to move my vault again.

        That's how they get you. The lazy tax

      • but I don't have the patience anymore to move my vault again.

        Migrating from 1Password to Bitwarden is surprisingly simple, you can export your entire database to a file and then import into the other. Takes all of a few minutes. I did this back in November. However as you say, 1Password is just that little bit sleeker. The interface is a little more polished and I prefer the auto-fill integration from 1Password than Bitwarden. No matter what I try to set with it I just can't get it to autofill the same way, nor integrate into the right-click options in the browser to quickly access it - I find having to go up to the navigation bar away from the log in section on a page to be quite clunky. 1Password's categorization with tags feels more intuitive, with Bitwarden they carry over, but they call them folders and it just doesn't feel the same.

        But on the other hand, I have had numerous occasions in the past year where the 1Password's browser extension just stops working properly - won't copy passwords to clipboard, and won't generate and save new items either. The only way I could restore functionality was to disable the extension in the browser, re-enable it and log in all over again. That got annoying.

    Price?

  • Super solid password manager, been using it after switching from lastpass. Price is the only negative in my opinion

    • +2

      Bitwarden, no negatives then. :)

      • The only feature I want (2FA prefill) is not free on bitwarden 😢. Negatives.

        • Fair enough, I guess depends on your risk profile. Me personally, I'd rather not have both together.

          If you want, check out 2FAS. They have an extension for your computer which fills the page (once you confirm Face ID / finger print on mobile).

    Store our password online? It just make the hackers' job easier, or one day the companies said if no payment is made, your passwords will be released.
    I still prefer the offline password manager, KeePass or the legacy version of mSecure.

  • I still have this app from when it was free (but paid for the upgraded features) via standalone and backed up to iCloud.

    The company still seems to be maintaining the standalone version, even though only existing users can re-download it.

    • I also have the old standalone version but doesn’t seem to be able to use browser fill-in these days

      • Odd. Works for me. On iPhone, click the 'key' icon where the keyboard is when you are in the username or password textbox

        • It works on iOS, no issues there.
          Doesn’t seem to work on PC (Safari/Chrome/etc).
          The browser plugin has stopped working. Sigh.

          • @syngen: How do you sync the stand alone iPhone app version to your PC?

            • +1

              @Skullytor: My password file (vault) is stored on my PC in a Dropbox folder. The file is synced to Dropbox and my iOS app is logged on to Dropbox to synchronize the same file.

              • @syngen: During syncing, does it sync the whole file or cherry picking the updated records and push the newer records?

                • @fatice: I’m not sure. It just shows syncing.

    Thumbs up from me. Been using them for a fee years and won't go back to some of the alternatives.
