I prefer blackberry password keeper

This is a hard one. So the first hurdle that I came across is with the font used for the padlock's brand. My best guesses so far have been "Elsses", "Elzzes", or "Elcces", but that doesn't really turn up anything useful. This doesn't surprise me much, though, because looking at the font of "Top Security" tells me that this is probably a pretty simple lock from a Chinese manufacturer. Given that it's probably a basic 5-pin pin-tumbler lock loaded up with standard pins, which as you can probably imagine conflicts a bit with the "Top security" statement on the face of the lock, but that's a typical thing these manufacturers do.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the shackle was made from regular non-hardened stainless steel. It's also likely that it used a regular latch on the inside instead of a ball-bearing, thus making it vulnerable to shim attacks. These two points being the most important since thieves will typically gravitate towards the quickest and easiest ways to get past security instead of taking the time to learn how to pick.

In the end, it's an image that I see has been used for a number of posts and articles relating to security online. I wouldn't be surprised if the manufacturer didn't even exist anymore today.

Oh. Sorry, you were asking about password managers. I guess I got a little distracted. I use BitWarden. It's pretty good.

I use 1Password Family to manage mine and my parents and it's great. I wouldn't do without.

As many others have said, I use BitWarden and really like it. I used LastPass for years and years, but I switched when the price of premium literally tripled and they needed the free tier to being almost unusable.

[–] mrmule@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Moved to Bitwarden from LastPass this year. Never looked back!

I dont use password managers.

I just use a set of random words + random numbers, usually something related to the website, the time period (like major global events), maybe just the mood I'm in when I created the password.

Example: For Lemmy, I might use IslandMazeMouse0216 (I do not use the password btw, never used this before and now never will, don't try hacking me lol)

"Island" because the fediverse is like a bunch of islands, that formed together into one fediverse, "Maze" because this shit is confusing, and "Mouse" because the Lemmy logo looks like a mouse, 0216 because of June 12, the day the protest began, 0612, but reversed, but not reversing the 0, so 0 216.

Now I feel dumb for explaining, but also want to hear opinions.

But you see, it doesn't matter. Most websites have login limits so you can't really brute force the password. I just hate "password managers", if I were getting old, I'll probably just put my passwords inside a Standard Notes note, or just put it in a txt and use 7Z AES256 and upload it to a few cloud services.

For offline passwords, like a Windows Veracrypt encryption password, I use 5-8 random words with 5-7 random numbers and increasing the PIM.

For mobile, I use like 16-25 digits numerical pin, alphanumeric passwords are just too hard to type. I've been experimenting with long alphanumeric password + biometric, or a pin, and honestly idk which is better. I don't want someone accessing my phone while I'm sleeping, I might forget to turn off biometrics before I sleep.

I'm not gonna encourage everyone to do what I do, I am not a security expert, just some dude on the internet, but I just want to share how I deal with passwords. Feel free to criticize any flaws. 😅

I don't use the random generated passwords cuz they're hard to read. And some dumb forms disable copy/paste stuff.

I get all my passwords from usapassphrase.net, and then usually capitalize the words, separated by periods, with 69 appended to the end.

It's easy to remember or type, and it also typically works for password rules around casing, numbers, and special character inclusion. Plus 4 word passphrases tend to be a lot of characters, providing a nice long password which is good for security.

I appreciate Enpass because it allows me to decide where my data is stored while simultaneously synchronizing across all my devices. It's quite impressive. Now, they have incorporated Wi-Fi sync, which eliminates the need for cloud-based synchronization.

[–] MetaCubed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Went from LastPass to Dashlane to self-hosted Bitwarden. $40/year for myself and a couple family members

[–] norgur@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

I used KeePass for ages, but I could never get my wife to use it, too. Updating and using and synching it wasn't a big hassle, but it was enough of one to let my wife reject it, especially with plugins that needed updating. Another issue we had was that sharing passwords wasn't really convenient. I set up a Vaultwarden instance on our server and now she's happily using the password manager (finally!) and we can have an "oganization" to share passwords with. Really cool stuff. Besides, we ain't needing and plugins anymore.

The ability to interface with DuckDuckGo's Mail-Forwarding-API has further increased the control of my data in a very convenient way!

The only thing I miss from KeePass is the ability to auto-type inside of other applications besides the browser, but hey, that's not too much of an issue.

[–] Atheran@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I use dashlane and I want to change. Any ideas on something that can offer the same functionality?

ie awesome with input fields for autocomplete, ability to save documents and with a good android app?

Keep it simple.

I've just started using 1Password is there anyway I can copy my passwords from Firefox and Samsung Pass to it automatically?

[–] vahtos@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes.

Firefox

As for Samsung Pass, it seems they don't have an easy export option. They only allow a proprietary binary(?) export, which tbh is enough reason to not use it (vendor lock-in is the worst). source

[–] TrickyCamel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you, luckily I seem to have my passwords mostly in Firefox.
