    Bitwarden all day every day. I don’t even know any of my passwords because they’re all randomly generated. Try to guess my password now hacker man

    What are your thoughts on password managers?

    They are mandatory in current digital age.

    Do you use one?

    Yes. Bitwarden.

    Would you recommend it to others?

    Already do and most are receptive to it once you show them that every single one of them were caught up in a breach at some point.

    A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.

    Everyone should be using a password manager. Every service should have a different password (and some service should have several passwords) and it’s impossible for the average person to keep track of all of those. Every time I hear about someone losing control of an account it’s because they were using the same password as another service.

    I recommend:

    • KeePassDX: Can be completely offline. Probably the most secure but can be a little awkward to use sometimes.
    • Bitwarden: Cloud based but open source. You could run a server but the main service offers MOST of the features for free.

    Your mileage may very with some of the proprietary platforms. However my job uses 1 Password and it seems to be fairly safe.

    I’m in the Bitwarden camp. There is no other way for me to have complex/secure passwords and remember them for my gazillion accounts.

    KeePassXC here. Locally encrypted, Locally stored, cloud backup of an encrypted file, synced with SyncThing to mobile devices. I will never trust nor recommend a cloud based manager with all the breaches.

    Password manager-less life with notebooks and reused passwords is life in the stone age. If you or anyone you know isn’t using one, get on bitwarden.

    Everyone knows why password manageras are absolutely essential, but here’s an often neglected perk: I can list every site I ever signed up to. Wanna delete some old accounts? “Did you sign up to X yet?” Simples.

    Yes, do it! Now! It’s the safest way, but only by choosing the right and trusted ones. Examples:

    • The expensive but good one: 1Password
    • The free, geeky and difficult one for normal users: Keepass.
    • The simple and free and beloved one: Bitwarden
    • The don’t try it ever because they will leak your data: Lastpass.

    Bitwarden fan over here. Been using it for a month and I have just 1 complaint; can’t sign into the Android app. Signing in with my mobile browser works though. No idea why the app is being fussy. I’ll contact them about it when I stop being lazy.

    Bitwarden is just fantastic, it works so well. After migrating from LastPass years ago to BW I haven’t looked back once and have encouraged friends to switch over as well.
