KeePass2 on Desktops and Keepass2Android on Android.
I’ve been a faithful BitWarden subscriber since almost he beginning, but read up on them. They’ve Been making some moves lately that point in a bad direction. Proceed with caution.
Any alternatives? Might jump ship before they fully enshitify and hope their users are too entrenched too leave
Bitwarden seems to be pretty clearly on the path of enshittification. They’ve been going towards closing off the self-hosted versions for a while, and moving their app out of repos that check licenses, with the likely aim of taking it closed source.
The usualy will surely follow.Not sure how soon, but I definitely wouldn’t newly go to them at this point.
VaultWarden will probably become what people who care about these things turn to for a cloud-based easy sync solution
What’s the point over keepass with syncthing?
that would be a non-cloudbased non-easy solution. personally, that’s what i’m doing, but i don’t anticipate most computer users wanting to go through the effort when so many people are still running windows 10 rather than switching to linux
Funny thing I switched from bitwarden to keepassxc + synchthing just yesterday.
And my best friend got interested in doing that as well (mostly syncthing, so she can backup her photos and stop relying on the apple ecosystem). I also convinced her to switch to Linux a while ago.
There’s a lot of regular non-techy users that yearn for things like that. They just need some support.
Bitwarden’s the only “cloud-based” password manager I trust, since their entire stack is open-source.
For self-hosting, they recently released Bitwarden Lite, which is a lot simpler to host than their regular server. One Docker image and you can use SQLite for the database. Different design decisions compared to the regular server which is designed to scale up to handle businesses with tens or hundreds of thousands of employees.
There’s also Vaultwarden, which is an unofficial third-party server implementation.
and ProtonPass. they’re both great.
Proton’s server is closed source so I don’t trust it as much as Bitwarden.
understandable.
proton pass comes with a subscription to the drive, email, and everything else, so its very easy to use.
Dumped them when they completely mismanaged their first breach.
which was either 7 or 4 years ago now (can’t remember)
😂 anyone still there deserves what they got
Edit: oh, okay it’s not as bad as last time…
The information accessed was limited to standard business contact information and related customer relationship management (CRM) data, including customer names, phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses, as well as support case data and sales-related data.
Sales-related data
So credit card numbers?
Maybe?
Use your brain. Literally. It’s the only safe way to store passwords.
I have over 300 different passwords for different accounts. I’m not remembering that many passwords.
I probably have around 100 accounts that I’d need to remember the passwords to, that’s not possible while keeping them actually decent and unique.
Flashcards. Write down your credentials and memorize them. Throw them away willy nilly when you’re done.
That would work, if I had like ten or twenty of them to remember.
No amount of studying is gonna make me remember almost a hundred strings of 24 random characters, and what string goes to what account
It was supposed to be joke 😔
Damn, I see that now. The heat wave is making me stupid, my brain isn’t made for 35C
Hey, don’t use a password manager like KeePass, because brain is the only safe place to store passwords. In order to do that, WRITE THEM ON FLASH CARDS to memorize them and then THROW THEM AWAY
Tell me it was a joke
Not very safe passwords.
Oh really? What is it? Please tell.
