      No idea.

      • Just checked - looks like a no. Thanks anyway

          I have previously made a burner account and then invited my actual account as a family member, seems to still work.

    Is 1Password good? I got mostly android and windows devices.

    • Yeah I think so, works seamlessly in windows and android. I haven't tried the competition though.

      • -7

        Haha seamlessly for Android. No sir.

        • +4

          It does for me, if you are going to say things like this, please elaborate. I use it across Windows, IOS and Android with no issues. The sharring between family members is very good too

            @hoosier daddy: Sure thing, happy to. Latest 1P and Android 13.

            Now the android app has improved a lot over the last few years but not perfect.

            I have a lot of online accounts. Would work fine if you logged into normal common websites.

            Some form fields don't pick up
            1P will appear for the password or username only
            1P sometimes requires toggling into the field to engage the 1P button.

            Both for in app as well as web logins.

            These are pretty common reported issues.

            It's more polished for Apple, heaps of updates.

            • +1

              @Korban Dallas: I love 1Password have used it for few years.ove the family vault cos my mum is now way more secure.

              But I agree, android has been shit show. Credit card forms NEVER get detected for me on chrome or Firefox.

              Logins are similar and work maybe half the time. It's very frustrating. As a software dev I get it's hard to keep up with changes, but yeah.

              • @Quantico: Actively made me angry and frustrated. Kept it longer than what I should have but oh well.

                3.8 stars on the Google Play store. 😂

                • @Korban Dallas: I had same experience with bitwarden. I know it's recommended but just went back to using google passwords.

                  I'm now in the process of trying to implement yubikeys at work in conjunction with a good password manager. I think first attempt might be keeper.

    • 1Password is one of the better ones, the OTP integrating works well and integrates into Android and Windows much better then a lot of the other managers. Though I haven't tried Bitwarden yet

      • +3

        I haven’t tried any others but Bitwarden has served me really well.
        Let me know if you try it and how the windows side of things compares. Android and iOS is totally fine, windows is too but on windows I just use it as a browser extension because it can’t auto fill windows apps anyway.

      • If you have the password and the OTP in one place that is then 1FA. The whole idea of 2FA is to have a second factor, hence it should not be stored in the same app. If the password manager is compromised then the threat actor also gets access to the 2FA code. I would use a separate app to store 2FA with a different pw for that app. On mobile it is pretty easy to fingerprint login to both.

        • +2

          Well with that logic you shouldn't have your 2FA app on the same phone.
          If a random website gets compromised and the hacker tries to log in but gets stuck on the 2FA screen, having your 2FA on bitwarden will still keep you safe.
          If they hack bitwarden and get the vault and decrypt it, there's less safety for that scenario.
          If they steal your phone, treat it as compromised regardless of if it's in different apps.

          Basically pw managers added 2FA as a feature not for users who already have 2FA apps or yubikeys, but for users who no second factor. By making it convenient, more people are likely to start using 2FA which protects against the first scenario. The first scenario is also the most common, and most people don't even realise their account has been leaked till months later when the attacker has already logged in (because no 2FA) and performed malicious actions. 2FA in your password manager would protect against this.

    • +2

      I've had to use it for the last 4 years, it works well as a standalone app, but the amount of times the chrome plugin has just out-right stopped working randomly and then would start working again, I ended up shifting the majority of my stuff into google passwords. When you have to swap between multiple accounts constantly through out the day, having to go into the app, find the login, hope that whoever entered it in put the right url/the url is still up to date, then end up having to just copy+paste it in, just drove me mad.

      Our management swears by it, but I don't see them working on multiple accounts every day, only using it for their own personal logins, so I think that's the main difference. Everyone else in my team has experienced the same issues on both Windows and OSX.

      • Even worse when your master password is long….

    • +6

      its a fantastic product, but I personally use bitwarden. Its open source, cheaper and can be self hosted if you choose to do so.

      edit: Forgot to add its free if you dont want to use 2FA with yubikey

      • +1

        Definitely worth the $10 usd a year if you do want to use FIDO2 though. And in my opinion worth getting premium just for built in TOTP :)

    • +3

      Use bitwarden. It's open source and free for personal use.

  • +118

    Bitwarden all the way

    • +6

      +1

    • +10

      yep, came here to say the same. Moved to bitwarden a few years ago, works perfectly across all my devices, feels great to have to remember just a single password for everything

      • Is there any subscription fee

        • +7

          You can pay $10USD a year for a few extra features (big one probably doing 2FA tokens) but for most functionality- no fee.

          There’s also Bitwarden send which is included in the $10 which is extra but really useful for when you have to send sensitive docs.

          • +3

            @Avalancheccm: MFA is included in the free sub.

            • +1

              @slackerman: Agree, I've been using the free version for a long time to replace Lastpass and I've MFA enabled using Google Authenticator.

            • +1

              @slackerman: You're right. But there is more advanced MFA in the premium (Yubikey, etc). I forgot where the line was drawn or maybe they changed it.

              • @Avalancheccm: To use Yubikeys it is not free?

                • +4

                  @MuddyClear: Bitwarden free: Email, Authentication App.

                  Bitwarden premium: YubiKey, FIDO2, Duo, Email, Authentication app.

        • Bitwarden has a free basic tier and a paid premium tier.

          • +7

            @Twix: And the free one has all the features any normal user might need, it's not like a trimmed down version of the basic stuff

        • +3

          You can set up your own Bitwarden server and include all the features you want.

          • +4

            @Phoebus: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden is the link for anyone interested. You can run it on a Raspberry Pi (or other SBCs) or cheap AliExpress desktop. If doing so, please make sure that you don't forward any ports on your router unless you absolutely know what you are doing

      • Just looking at Bitwarden says it has 0 knowledge, cloud, but also a way to recover pw if you forgot the master key? How can that work?

        • +3

          Bitwarden give you a recovery code that you print and store offline. This recovers access to your account and you set a new master password.

          • @Twix: I can’t be the only one thinking ‘I better take a photo of it and upload to my Dropbox so I can always find it.’?

            • @frugalftw: As long as you turn on Dropbox 2FA, use a randomly generated password for Dropbox and have at least two devices that can access Dropbox you should be ok.

              • +2

                @Twix: If your "randomly generated password for Dropbox" is in Bitwarden, you're in a loop ;-)

            • @frugalftw: Not passwords. Just credit cards lol

        • +1

          Plus on iOS it uses Face ID so you can unlock with that to recover passwords.

      • I moved from 1Password to BitWarden - never looked back. Don't forget - after your free year you will need to pay or migrate all your passwords elsewhere.

    • +1

      This is the way.

    • +3

      Agree. Works seamlessly across devices and worked way better than my expectations. They have a premium version but I don't even think I need it.

      • +5

        I paid for it just to support them. A sign of a good product.

        • We're there any premium features you found useful?

          • +3

            @PeeDee: File storage so that I can store important documents. But apart from that not really. But for $10/yr I am very happy to support the developers for such a great product.

            • @JSONBourne: Serious question, after Last pass fiasco, are we able to trust Bitwarden with securing important documents?

              • +1

                @amsaini15: Given the way it’s secured and decrypted locally, as well as being open source, given a strong enough master password I would say yes.

    • +1

      Has Bitwarden ever been hacked?

      • yet?

      • +4

        As far as I understand it doesn't matter if they are, because the information is stored encrypted.

        • +1

          Unless the keys are hacked?
          If they have the keys, they can open the doors?

          • +7

            @congo: Nothing sensitive leaves your device without being encrypted. Yeah, if you leak your password to others, then they can open all sorts of doors, but that's not the primary threat vector people are talking about re: cloud password managers- they're talking about if/when the cloud service gets hacked itself.

            Cloud password managers are designed for this scenario- if the encrypted vault is leaked, it should take hackers an unacceptably long amount of time to crack the encryption (on the scale of thousands-millions of years).

            If you're still unsure, here's a list of security audits that Bitwarden have gone through: https://bitwarden.com/help/is-bitwarden-audited/

            Of course, you can also look at their code yourself: https://github.com/bitwarden

          • @congo: PSA: Bitwarden recently upped the encryption on the master password for new users, but it doesn't apply for old users. You have to manually go to your account settings and increase it. New users are set at 350,000. But the industry standard recommends 600,000 so that's what I've got it set at. It slightly increases login time but that's about it in terms of negative effects.

            https://www.ghacks.net/2023/02/02/bitwarden-to-increase-its-…

            • @Ibz: Thanks for the info.
              I checked my settings, I don't have any of the KDF settings.

              I am on the free tier.

        • +1

          The encryptions a very important safety measure but vault leakage still presents an issue. Look at the Last Pass scenario where right now hackers are free to brute force attack peoples vaults as they have access to them and can spend years doing so if they want. Anyone with poor vault passwords especially will be susceptible and right now the encryptions really just buying time for all LastPass users to go and reset every password they have. A good password massively assists but.

          1Password is better than most in this regard because accessing a vault required not only a password but a very long random key which effectively means everyone is using a 30+ character string to encrypt their vault, even if the password itself is poor.

          • @Smigit: If you use a very long and complex password, I imagine leakage is less of an issue?

            • +1

              @Make it so: Longer and complex passwords will make you much much safer. In particular if you have not used your LastPass password with any other service.

              Still, I’d at the very least reset important passwords from any vault because your password may not be compromised today, but maybe someone will brute force it in 2 or 3 or 4 years from now. If you use the same password for your vault anywhere I’d especially do that as those sites sharing your password may be compromised themselves and perhaps the security of those sites is such that hackers will get a plaintext version of your password which makes getting into the LastPass vault now trivial. Some sites unfortunately apply very weak encryption so password can be retrieved.

        • You can host it in your own home server if you want maximum security.

          • @BargainBuddy: home server needs to be more secure than the cloud though. but i suppose if random hacker doesn't know where to find it then it's probably ok?

            • @ltwo: Home server also needs to have reliable power and internet as well as being on a reliable device, otherwise you’re gonna be dead in the water.

              Edit: Tbf cloud could also go down, just seems way less likely.

            • @ltwo: I wouldn’t count on security through obscurity when automated tools will be used to find your home server, not just someone targeting a specific URL.

              More important is to assume hackers know where your content is hosted from the outset but to have your network configured to resist any attack such that knowing your address doesn’t matter.

    • +4

      Agree, just changed from 1Password and can't believe how good it is. 1Password is good but too expensive.

      • Is it really that much better? Do you use OTP authentication with Bitwarden? I've been with 1password for awhile and tried other paid ones like lastpass but they were average against 1password for integration and use.

        • Bitwarden is basically exactly the same. If you want OTP it’s $10/year which is so much cheaper than 1P.

    • +1

      Yeah moved from 1P to bitwarden due to password fill issues. Still have 1P app but don't add new logins.

      1P on android has a rating of 3.8 says a lot.
      Bitwarden 4.6

      Really happy with it and importing was easy

      • +1

        Since the UI update it’s basically the same now. And I trust Bitwarden a lot more since it’s open source.

    • A lot of comments talking about the otp. It feels like it's more secure if its on my mobile as opposed to it filling it in from my PC? If some one got remote access to my PC or bitwarden then they could auto approve themselves? If it's on my mobile I could deny or just not approve the login.

      • +2

        But they would need to know the Bitwarden password in advance as it auto locks. If not already open and locked, it also requires a 2FA code to unlock it when initially opening it (on PC at least).

    • Yup, and if you need to share passwords with family members, simply pay $10 a year and create an organisation. Then you can invite your family members to the organisation (they can still access it using a free Bitwarden account).

      I had this setup for a year or so where only I was paying and my spouse was just using the free Bitwarden account. Then recently signed them up to the paid version too so we can give each other emergency access into each other's vaults.

    How does it compare to Safe in Cloud? Life time subscription for the same price

    • +20

      Never heard of this mob (whereas 1Password are reputable), and they couldn't even be bothered to use HTTPS for their website. I wouldn't touch them with a very long pole.

    • If you want free, go bitwarden

    • If you really want to spend money and want a lifetime purchase… perhaps look at Sticky Password? https://www.stickypassword.com
      They offer lifetime for about $50 (I think that's USD though).

      I did buy the lifetime about 5 years ago or something and gave it a try (after using 1Password standalone versions, they switched to subscription model and I stopped using them). It does the job but the UI and UX was a bit clunky at the time especially after coming from 1Password (1Password has always been the password manager that has gotten the user experience right). So I didn't use it for long before I switched to Bitwarden and have been using that since, haven't looked back. I do pay for Bitwarden but heck, it's only $10 a year (yup… a year, not a month!).

      It's been a while so maybe Sticky Password is pretty good now, I can't say for sure except they still offer lifetime licences.

  • +3

    Despite assurances by all cyber security experts, storing password vaults on the cloud worries me. Once hacked, the hackers will have your vault and what's protecting the vault from being opened is your master password. The experts say it'll take millions or even billions of years to guess a "STRONG" master password. I just don't feel easy having all eggs in one basket and put it up on a server somewhere.

    • +3

      genuine question: what's the solution to remembering tens or hundreds of different passwords? most things are done online these days and there are a lot of these that require accounts & passwords.

        • +4

          Not everyone does have the capacity to remember every password. Also the more passwords you have to remember the less secure they are because you then tend to use patterns or repetition. You also tend to use less secure methods to remember them all such as storing them in a word document or post it note, etc.

          Cloud based password storage is currently the best affordable option for most people who are mindful of security. We can never be 100% sure that X company won't be compromised in the future even if they are following best security practices. Lastpass's issue was they were sold to LogMeIn, who are notorious for being terrible.

        • I have hundreds of unique passwords which are random generated up to 50 characters. No chance even remembering one of them, other than my master password, of course.
