thoxx20876ySomeone asked about password managers and keepass a few days ago: https://devrant.com/rants/1980781/...
-
I've been using lastpass for a while, thinking of switching to BitWarden though since it's open-source and I can run it on my own server. The main reason why I stuck with LastPass for so long was the ability to access my passwords from anywhere, otherwise I would've switched to KeePass or something.
-
@BadFox @CoffeeNcode That's the one I was looking at. $24/yr isn't bad at all.
As for the security difference between Keepass and LastPass, I doubt it's enough to bother me. I'll look at them both. -
cursee171666y@EmberQuill you can access your password from anywhere using bitwarden and you can import your data from LastPass.
-
KeePass. I just copy stuff between my phone and computer every once in a while.
-
DeWil2306yI'm using Bitwarden because it's free, cross-platform and (as far as I can tell) secure.

endor57586y@Techno-Wizard or just use a plugin to sync through any cloud account (gdrive, onedrive, dropbox, or others)

@oreru How the fuck am I supposed to remember 10+ different random passwords? I can barely remember what I ate two days ago and you're over here telling me to remember long ass random passwords.
No big chief. -
endor57586y@Techno-Wizard I used to do that too, and eventually I started losing track after updating the patterns over time and having to memorise over 60 different passwords - and that's not even mentioning sites with stupid password requirements that would throw off my patterns.
Then I finally decided to move to Keypass, and now life is a breeze. All I have to do is remember one super-secure password, and the program handles everything else for me, inclusing syncing the DB across all my pcs and phone, and an ssh agent that automatically loads all my keys.
Besides, with Keypass you can also generate your own password patterns if you want to, it's a very flexible tool. In fact, you can set any password you want for whatever you want, random generation is just one of the many options. -
@oreru I tried that once. It worked great until the first time I had to change a password. Then the pattern idea sort of fell apart.
I have hundreds of accounts going back 20 years with various different usernames and at least three previous email addresses. I'd be lost without a password manager, because I need one just to remember what sites I've already signed up for, as well as which username I used when registering. -
@EmberQuill I'm doing the pattern thing already, just in an extremely less secure than what he intended way.
It's a fucking pain in the ass when you lock tour fucking account because there's so many fucking different options. -
cursee171666y@EmberQuill @Stuxnet hide in plain sight.
Tattoo the formula on your skin. Nobody will think you would ink password formula on body. -
@cursee I know the formula by heart. There's just too many different ones and I struggle to remember which one is for what, especially with places I usually stay logged into or things I rarely use
I need a password manager lol
Any suggestions? Paid is ok, as long as it's nothing ridiculously expensive
