I use Bitwarden and honestly couldn’t be happier. My partner and I both use it, so it’s incredibly easy to share any credentials we both need to use. It also works great on every platform I’ve personally tried it on, and I like that I can use it for totp 2fa as well.

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
Keepass on OneDrive, so I can access it from my computer and phone.
I've been using keepass on PC and KeepassDX on Android.
I just lead the migration from LastPass to 1Password for the business I work at. It was really prompted by the breaches at LP and their poor handling of it. For personal stuff, I just did whatever I was doing at work because the business plans come with free licenses for personal accounts.
Bitwarden user here.
Bitwarden here too
Bitwarden enjoyer here
Self hosted Bitwarden is the bees knees.
I use OneNote, with a bunch of coded words that mean other things and mix and match those to make longer passwords that are all different. Because I'm too lazy for a real app, and this is secure enough and useful enough.
It might be a minimal effort to set up. But afterwards any pw-manager will propably save you lots of effort.
Vaultwarden for work, KeePass and KeePassDroid for private use.
I use a self hosted vaultwarden instance! Should probably migrate it to my new server soon-ish though...
NextCloud
Enpass. I sync my vault with my Nextcloud, but it would also work completely offline or with direct-sync between my devices.

- Bitwarden for my Passwords.
- Keepass for my password for Bitwarden.
- An master password + picture(key) combination for access to my keepass.
What does the intermediate step add?
Not the guy you are replying to, but it would allow the user to create a very strong password for Bitwarden, and use an easier one to remember for Keepass, since Keepass would still require a key file to open the database.
I kind of like the idea, actually! LOL
Maybe a tangent, but what are the security implications of a password manager? It seems like it would replace many individual things that can go kinda wrong with one big single point of failure, which frightens me 😆
Happy to be wrong though. They definitely seem convenient.
You have a point there. But if you use a password manager with strong encryption, 2fa etc. you can minimize the risk somewhat. I came to the conclusion that the benefits of using extremely long, secure passwords outweigh the risks if you follow all the best practices. Plus the added comfort.

Dashlane. I need a service where I can share/manage things for my elderly parents, and Dashlane is easier for that after LastPass became a dumpster fire
Keepass 2 on Windows Keepass2Android on phone & tablet with the file on DropBox
I use pass but recommend Bitwarden when people ask for a recommendation.
When using pass, if you have a lot of devices and forget to sync at times you better know at least basic git lol.

Bitwarden after lastpass started charging for the same service
I've started using Bitwarden after two of my coworkers quit to go work at Bitwarden. Really nice interface, and very easy to use
Well, ahem, I use index-cards in a box. Never looses batteries - totally hack-proof !
I used to use 1Password standalone, but they moved away from it and started only selling password management as a service and I really didn't want that, so I'm running Bitwarden now on a private VaultWarden instance for myself and my wife. It's been great and is a good option if you want to run your own platform and not use Dropbox or other third party cloud storage or platforms for the data. Obviously, you're then responsible for backing the data up, etc., but I like the flexibility and data ownership of it.
