I don't but I should even though my threat level is zero.
But then isn't a single point of failure a problem? I guess we use these to make life easier with strong passwords, but what if the cloud with sync gets leaked, or someone keylogs my pass manager then I lose all passwords not just those incidentally affected by a leak or hack?
I personally use Firefox's built-in password manager and it works great for me. I use Relay to generate email masks and enter in random passwords that are saved and synced across my devices. It's been very helpful!
Bitwarden's browser extension is great, which is something I can not say about their mobile app which is slow and not very user friendly. It does, however, make my passwords safer since I tend to use random ones.
Using Bitwarden for password manager, Aegis for 2fa, been working great for me so far.
I'm probably going to get grilled for this but I've Been using Firefox's Saved passwords, I really don't need anything better.
I toss my KeePass file (encrypted database) in Google Drive.
That way I have all the convenience of syncing through the cloud, but I also get the benefit of having my database access and database storage be managed by separate companies.
If Google has a breach and my data gets leaked, sucks, but the database is encrypted so I’m good. If KeePass encryption is broken, sucks, but attackers would also have to find a way to gain access to my Google Drive.
There are a lot of people recommending a very specific program in this thread. Be skeptical, everyone. Do your research on the strengths and weaknesses of these types of tools, and the specific offerings of all current leading services.
I just use the chrome password manager, works great and seamlessly transitions from Android to desktop. I used to use KeePass, but the convenience of the built in tools in chrome just works really well, especially after moving over from iOS.
I don't use them. I see this as a putting all eggs in one basket strategy, if my master password was lost, hacked, hosting company shutdown, or for whatever reason refuse to do business with me, my entire life would be screwed.
Instead I use long passwords made of words, and for each site it will be a few letters off. They're easy for humans to remember because how similar they are, but due how hash works they are equivalent to unique passwords to hackers.
Hashing only works if the website stores their passwords correctly. If a single website you use doesn't hash passwords correctly, and gets their database leaked, then your passwords will all be leaked. Changing a few characters per site may help a bit, but it shouldn't be relied on.
Also, if you're worried about the host shutting down, you should try bitwarden. It's completely open source, and you can self host it if you want.
I absolutely use a password generator/manager. Using Bitwarden.
I would love to use one, but to be honest, I have not found one that I trust, so far.
The perfect "password manager" would require 2FA, has some kind of "online backup" (cloud) that I can host myself and has to be open source. So far nothing really seems to offer all this.
I use pass which is a frontend for GnuPG. It's sort of primitive and I had to write user interface for it but it's super flexible. Since every password is saved in encrypted file syncing is easy and we use Git to share company passwords amongst ourselves.
I use bit warden and I love it. And yes, I would recommend using a password locker. Just make sure you do some research before selecting one.
Just moved from bitwarden to proton pass, so far so good. Would recommend keepass, bitwarden,1password but definitely not lastpass.
I use 1password. I heard that Apple uses 1password internally. I figure their IT guys are more expert than me, a random internet dude. So I chose 1password. Works great on desktop, mobile, and even Linux. Family plan is a good deal. You can even share passwords between users for common things like bank accounts, etc, between family members.
I have proton subscription for mail, vpn the works. Just switched to Proton Pass and very happy. Auto creates alias emails on signups so my real email is not out there.
Keepass with key file. I synchronise only the database with cloud servers while the key file stays on my devices and never gets synched. I think that's a good tradeoff for security and convenience.
