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I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.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.
Having my TOTP in bitwarden was worth the $10/year for me
So does that essentially replace Google/Microsoft authenticator?
Further: Is there a downside to using Google Authenticator?
With the new account sync they finally added I dont think so but I’m pretty sure theres no end to end encryption for the totp seeds. However since the majority of people already trust google that probably wont matter to them. Although they do have a barcode generator to export your seeds to another google autheticator app (and some 3rd party apps support it) afaik, it lacks an export feature to backup the seeds offline
I’m assuming Google takeout will allow you to export them since Google now backs them up for you, but I haven’t tried.
Yeah basically just make sure to export your vault as a backup
