What password manager do you recommend?
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I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.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. 😄
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.
Another vote for Bitwarden just in case anyone needed one more comment to get them to use it.
I use bitwarden but it can be quite annoying to use sometimes. Feel like I have to type my master password every 5 minutes and it won't even prompt me to enter it for a site I have a login on, have to dig into the menu and find it
On my desktop browser I have it set to relock only when I close the browser. So I only have to enter my master password the first time.
I have an Android phone and an iPhone and have bitwarden enabled on both and set to auto lock after 15 minutes. Very rarely do I run into and instance where bitwarden won't be able to auto populate everything on either device and I have biometrics set up to unlock my vault. When it doesn't I have to go searching but imo it's a minor inconvenience because it very rarely happens.
If you mean that when you are using the auto entry feature your account isn't showing up to populate the field without searching then you need to save the URI to the password so that bitwarden knows what account goes with that site. Just hit the auto fill and save button and it will automatically add that URI for you so you don't have to search next time.
I've got all that setup and biometrics work great. The problem is sometimes bitwarden just won't prompt in the first place, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, sometimes I have to wait a bit for it to realise
Ah yeah, I run into that sometimes but in my experience its pretty rare that it won't pop up. Sometimes just closing the app, from recent apps, and reopening will get it to trigger. I always assumed it had something to do with the apps save state when I closed it since it generally happens on my banking apps that automatically log me out. It's one thing I like about iOS is that when you are logging into something there is the little key button to open up iCloud keychain and Bitwarden so you don't have to let it do it automatically.
