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I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.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.

    Bitwarden is a no brainer. It offers ALL the features that an average user needs in its free plan (which imo all other password managers don’t.)

    Its also a privacy friendly service which has passed multiple security audits from external entities

    Bitwarden, hands down. been using them for like 7 years now? have got nearly 300 accounts in the password manager, and is fully free. Haven’t paid a single penny to them. Autofill is possible, on both android and web browser, although you’ll have to set it up through an extension. Fully cross-platform. Used it on Linux, windows, MacOS, IOS, iPadOS, Android. you can access it via a browser, is open source and is hosted by Bitwarden if you want to.

    it ticks all your requirements!

      Bitwarden is great. If OP wants they can self host it via Vaultwarden which I’m using. It works perfectly.

        I would love to, but I’m a bit tight with cash atm. I’ve been meaning to pay the 10-11 quid a year plan just to support them. They’ve given so much to me and I haven’t given anything back :(

    *Sees post. Guess I should make sure someone has said Bitwarden.

    *Checks comments. Hmm, Bitwarden, Bitwarden, another Bitwarden.

    *Good. I don’t need to reply.

    Guess I’m gonna have to give bitwarden a go, I’ve used LastPass for years but their quality of service and value for money has plummeted.

      Brah I’ve seen so many of these post asking what password manager people use and the comments filled with bitwarden replies… it could just be lots of people really interested in password managers use Lemmy or bitwarden is astroturfing. One of these seems more likely

    Keepass is

    • open source and free
    • just uses a file, so you can sync it wherever/however you want
    • has a browser plugin with autofill if you’re into that
    • is supported on all platforms
    • database lives in an encrypted file that you put wherever you choose

    Non self-hosted: Bitwarden

    Self-hosted: Keepass

    Both are open-souce, multi-platform, and free. Bitwarden does have additional paid tiers to include support for things like OTPs. I used to use Keepass but got tired of manually syncing my database; If that’s not a problem for you then it’s a great choice.

      It’s more to setup, but I have my keepass auto sync across several devices using OneDrive. Each device has a local copy of the database that is synced with the cloud version using triggers.
