          I was really disappointed about standard notes’ plans. Took me forever to get everything set up to self host, only to find I couldn’t even use markdown unless I bought a license? Silly.

          I’m excited that the bitwarden phone apps are getting a brand new native version for ios and Android soon.

              No, its built on a Microsoft framework, that MS has decided to change recently. That’s why its sluggish and they can’t add features like passkeys to the current client apps.

        Tried, and not a fan of. The organizing features are kind of not what I expected. Sticking to KeepassXC for now.

          I actually thought the organization stuff is pretty good, coming from keepassxc myself. The way we have it set up is that each of the members of our family all have VW accounts, and we have a common organization shared among us for stuff we all use (e.g. home devices). It’s all in one installation, so it’s pretty convenient. I don’t think I can do the same as easily with keepass.

          That being said, keepass is a really solid piece of software. I’d recommend it myself.

            First is the organizing feature. It doesn’t let me to have sub folders which I need to categorize items.

            Second is the TAN management to store my MFA backup codes. A feature the original Keepass have but KeepassXC doesn’t. You can use notes to mimic but it doesn’t auto expire after use, i.e. more manual work.

      Corporate Headquarters

      Bitwarden, Inc. 1 North Calle Cesar Chavez Santa Barbara, CA 93103 Bitwarden, Inc. is the parent company of 8bit Solutions LLC

      Something tells me they’ll enshitiffy too. It would make me uneasy storing all my passwords with a for profit corp, on their servers.

        They’ve already open-sourced all the best parts, and there are independent OSS projects based on that. If BE fucks with their user base, they’d be messing with their livelihood.

      Prefer KeepassXC but let’s be honest, the best password manager is the only you actually use and keep using.

          KeepassXC looks better IMO. Also I like that hardware keys work without plugins. Personally I still use KeePass for one feature that XC doesn’t offer.

          I like KeePassXC because it’s written in C and is thus cross platform, while KeePass is written in C# and relies on Windows UI libraries. You can run KeePass on Linux (and I did without usability issue for years) but it will look god awful.

          I won’t knock plugins, everyone has weird use cases, but I don’t know what people need KeePass to do that it doesn’t already do out of the box. I’ve certainly never felt the need for any.

    +1 For KeepassXC, I use it in combination with syncthing to have my passwords available on all devices.

    I use Bitwarden for passwords. Just works so well.

    KeepassXC and KeePassium for TOTP codes. I keep the database in the cloud but sync a key with Syncthing that’s needed to unlock the database on the devices themselves.

      Locally hosted bitwarden (vault warden) that is only accessible on your local network is the way to go. When a new sync is needed away from home, wireguard VPN to connect back in makes everything nice and secure. Otherwise most of the time the vault is cached to the device locally so you don’t need to phone home to access passwords.

          Yep, I think keeping TOTP codes in the same place as passwords defeats their purpose (no longer a second factor).

          Less convenient but more secure.

      Same. The UI is pretty good and modern, they support TOPT and cards as well and the development is being done at a good pace.

      For Keepass users: KeepassXC can read your keepass file just fine, but KeepassXC can also run on Linux, whereas Keepass runs only on Windows.

            And it hides file names and sizes by splitting things up, which puts one extra layer of difficulty for someone trying to find my passwords file to target. I have a much stronger password on the syncthing directory than my normal type-each-time password to open keepassxc.

      And I do keepassdx on Android, with a (phone-specific) database synced with syncthing

      P.S. syncthing is fantastic: I hope more people consider hosting discovery servers and especially relays

    I use keepass with my database on onedrive.

    Then i connect every device to said onedrive account, copy the private key manually on each device that i need to use.

    I secure my databse with said private key + a passphrase.

    Might not be the best setup, but i feel like with passphrase+key i am secure enough to have the db file in the cloud.

    If you are into the command line, pass is also neat. You can even have your keys in a git repo and access it with a FOSS Android app (requires some dedication to set it up). It’s very useful to feed passwords to scripts without hardcoding them in the source.

    KeePass for me. I keep my encrypted vault in my 2 factor encrypted gdrive. Get the best of both worlds. No traditional cloud that’s a target for hackers and I have passes I can share across devices.

    I really enjoy 1Password for easy vault sharing between family members. I was able to get my (not so technically literate) siblings and dad onto my family plan. Baby steps!
