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!

Seems most people are recommending Bitwarden! Is it free to selfhost? I'm new to selfhosting but I'd love to give this a shot.

I use KeePassXC in my linux desktop, KeePassDX in my android smartphone and syncthing-fork/syncthing to sync modifications between all devices. The encrypted database (long passphrase generated with Diceware method) never goes online. I also use yubikeys and multi factor auth for all important accounts

[–] sunaurus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm a huge fan of 1Password. Previously used pass for years, but there are many ways in which 1Password is more convenient, especially when it comes to sharing secrets with friends/family/colleagues.

KeePassXC and Keepass2Android auto-synced with my Nextcloud instance. Works great cross-platform for Linux/Windows/Android.

I know what you mean, trusting a SaaS provider with my master password list always felt like a bad plan.

[–] cloudynight88@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Firefox browser. 😬😬

[–] darkfoe@lemmy.serverfail.party 2 points 2 years ago

I've been happy with Bitwarden thus far. Used Lastpass back in the day, but migrated over when the renewal prices started creeping up.

[–] thomas@lemmy.zell-mbc.com 2 points 2 years ago

KeePassXC and Nextloud to sync things between devices…

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bitwarden, I use it everywhere. I even wrote a Bitwarden app for my Linux phone.

Yeah, bitwarden rules

I used to use Dashlane but when I found out bitwarden was free I just started using that

1password is the only one I trust

[–] JCreazy@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

I started using Bitwarden a few years ago and it's been excellent.

[–] Oobleck 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Bitwarden. I left LastPass about 3 years ago and haven’t looked back. I pay for bitwarden so I can use the TOTP feature and because i can’t wrap my head around the recovery process for my wife if something were to happen to me. I think another, more technically fluent human will need to be involved if that ever comes to pass.

keepassxc for linux, keepassdx for android

[–] wgs 1 points 2 years ago

safe ! It's like pass, except doesn't rely on GPG and derivate keys from a master password instead.

[–] Crakila@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Bitwarden for personal, 1Password for work stuff.

I much prefer Bitwarden

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.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] SevFTW@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

+1 1Password (coming from LastPass) this manager is really great. Good mobile, desktop and browser support.

[–] 34@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use 1password, I used KeePass for years but it didn't work will on Android so I moved on.

[–] grilledsausage@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Also using 1Password, works great for what my family needs.

[–] Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] LollerCorleone@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I use Bitwarden in all my devices. Never gave me a reason to look for anything else.

[–] RemeJuan@readit.buzz 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Whooping_Seal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I know a bunch of people here have mentioned Bitwarden, but I would like to mention one feature that makes it superior to all others. You can integrate it to services like SimpleLogin, AnonAddy, Firefox Relay, DDG etc. and auto-generate email aliases within the Bitwarden extension. In theory it is more secure to not do this but it is such a huge QoL feature to just hit the randomize button in the extension to create an alias for a new login. It also populates the info field on simplelogin with something along the lines of "Auto-Generated by Bitwarden for: [website]"

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.

[–] QHC@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Another very happy 1Password user here!

I switched my workplace to 1Password and I moved from Dashlane at the same time. One thing that's nice about 1P from that perspective is that our plan gives everyone a free personal account that they could take with them if they left the company (they'd have to pay for it themselves at that point of course).

Usability is the best of any password manager I've used, but the killer feature for us as a development team was the flexibility. Being able to assign the same credentials to multiple URLs (e.g. dev, stage, QA, prod) was just not possible with everything else we looked at the time.

Selfhosting Vaultwarden (Bitwarden)

Bitwarden pro. Having OTP and all my passwords on my watch is a life changer.

One more for Bitwarden. You can even run your own local server and avoid using the cloud.

[–] lp0101@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

KeepassXC with syncthing

[–] Kn3cht@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I simply use Google/Chrome

  • Bitwarden for my Passwords.
  • Keepass for my password for Bitwarden.
  • An master password + picture(key) combination for access to my keepass.

In all seriousness, I’ve been using 1Password and have had no complaints.
