Okay so yesterday, I changed my password as a precaution because of the hack, and just now I decided to clean my browser tabs and re login and almost forgot my password. I'm done dealing with passwords.

What password manager do you recommend?

Features I’m looking for

-Open Source

-Can be synced to cloud (I don’t want self host)

-Can be accessed via a browser

-Cross platform, the more platforms, the better

-End to End Encrypted, and Encrypted at rest on my device, also need some way to authenticate before releasing the password, like a pin or biometrics

-Autofill for browser and apps

-Free (can be a freemium model, but I need the base tier to be free, too broke to spend money on this lol)

-Can export the passwords to a file

I never used a password manager before so sorry if I seem like a noob.

I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.

Edit: Woah, those replies are fast. I think I'll use Bitwarden. Thanks for recommendations! Now I don't need to worry about forgetting passwords anymore. πŸ˜„

Edit 2: It seems I've forgotten my email password as well as a few other accounts I haven't logged into for a while. Damn, should've used a password manager earlier.

I love Bitwarden! The $10/yr subscription is totally worth it too.

Can someone sell me on the subscription? I don't mind paying for it because that's really cheap but I don't really understand what exactly it offers. I've been using the free version of Bitwarden for years now.

Illl be watching this too - I have bitwarden, managed - but I don't use a subscription currently.

Having my TOTP in bitwarden was worth the $10/year for me

So does that essentially replace Google/Microsoft authenticator?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Further: Is there a downside to using Google Authenticator?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I specifically pay them because the money I'm giving them is put (mostly) directly into open source client/server components that benefit everyone at the end of the day, not just myself or the company but "humanity" in general.

If Bitwarden (the org) disappeared tomorrow, we would all still have access to really high quality software that someone could continue to push forward/develop and I appreciate that confidence and trust that they put forward.

I personally got it for the reports of duplicated or leaked passwords to make it easier for me to find and update all of my old, bad passwords.
