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I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.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

Guess I'm gonna have to give bitwarden a go, I've used LastPass for years but their quality of service and value for money has plummeted.

I used LastPass up until they re-started charging for multiple devices. I was happy to pay LastPass back in like 2013 when they used to charge for multiple devices, but when they decided to bring that charge back in 2022 (or whatever year it was) they were charging an obscenely high amount for it, and frankly the UX wasn't good enough to justify that price. On Android, more often than not I was having to go into the app to copy/paste it, because the native integration just wasn't working.

With Bitwarden I'm back to free, and it works so much better anyway. I never looked back.

Been using Bitwarden for a long time. Secure, easy to use and never had any problems with it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I switched from Lastpass to Bitwarden. Couldn't be happier.

Brah I've seen so many of these post asking what password manager people use and the comments filled with bitwarden replies.. it could just be lots of people really interested in password managers use Lemmy or bitwarden is astroturfing. One of these seems more likely
