My favorite password manager is KeypassDx. I also use proton pass. What do you use and why?

pass.
It’s simple and has frontends for all my usecases. It’s so simple, that you can extend it’s functionality yourself if you wish.
Synchronizing works by just synchronizing the folder where the data lives, so syncthing, git, dropbox, ftp. Whatever you like.
Do you also use it for TOTP?
pass-otpNo, it doesn’t really make sense for 2fa to have both factors in the same database, I use yubikeys with webauthn.
pass-otp can do TOTP as well.
Bitwarden. It is open source, reliable, easy to use, and compatible with everything. The free version has nearly everything, but I have the paid version to support development because $10 per year is very reasonable.
I do regularly export my password vault to KeePassXC as my backup though.
Does Bitwarden have sharing/family features? I’d like to switch but those are a hard requirement for me
Awesome, thanks!
Yes! They have a family plan that is basically their organization plan but cheaper.
Great to know! I’m on a similar plan for 1password now so I’ll have to look at switching
I specifically use Vaultwarden. Great for syncing and sharing across family
Same here, self hosted on docker. I migrated from KeepassXC and I’m very happy.
Keepass was ok but because I have various devices (Mac, Windows, Android, and iPad) all accessing it, at times it would cause issues. No issues that way with VaultWarden.
If you self-host, do you get TOTP support and sharing, or do you need to also pay for a subscription?
You totally get it and sharing without paying. I encourage you to take a look at it. Super easy to setup with docker and a front end proxy.
Bitwarden. The UI is about to be updated to somrthing more modern so that no longer is an issue for most people. It’s also open source, so yes.
The 10€ per year as the premium subscription is just unbeatable. You pay less than half a euro per month for a reliable and robust password manager.
10 EUR per year is a bit more than half an EUR per month
oh yeah sorry meant less than a euro
Also how I treat it
Bitwarden, i can self host it and it is quite convenient to have official apps for all platforms i use.
KeePassDx because of Magikeyboard to not have to copy paste in stuff.
After using it for two years i just find how magikeyboard works by your comment 🤦♂️
Android has password auto-fill by default, and it works with most password managers, including Bitwarden
Bitwarden is simple, reliable and works on all of my devices.
I never used it. Is it possible to self host?
You can self host with Vaultwarden! It’s just the server; you use the same Bitwarden clients.
Yep! It’s fully open source and free. I use the hosted version though.
Looks like i need to run a server. I actually wanted a fully offline one. Maybe I’ll stick with keepass
well, running a server is in the definition of self-hosting
Like others’ve said, Bitwarden is awesome if you want a (selfhosted or hosted) server (e.g. as a much better replacement for LastPass).
If you want an offline password manager, KeePass is the way to go (i.e. KeePassDX/KeePassXC for mobile/pc).
I use keepass2android to access my keypassxc database.
Keypass as well. I hate the PC one though, but I still use it.
I use keypass DX on my phone.
How do you sync your database?
I do it manually
I use syncthings.
I really enjoy 1Password. Works really well, plenty of storage functionality for all kinds of data. There’s watchtower functionality for poor or leaked passwords, or missing 2fa/passkeys too. One of my favorites is the built-in ssh-agent. In my eyes, it’s absolutely worth the asking price
One of my favorites is the built-in ssh-agent.
You can accomplish the same thing using Bitwarden, completely for free: https://github.com/joaojacome/bitwarden-ssh-agent
Bitwarden since they starded. Didn’t need anything more than the free subscription, but I’m thinking of self-hosting my own vaultwarden instance.
Proton
Like a lot of folks, I use and recommend Bitwarden for passwords management. Their Authenticator app is really good for mobile TOTP, too.
At work we’re using Bitwarden for the group benefits; though I still have KeePassXC running to simplify SSH keys (Windows, naturally) for native & PuTTY.
Personally, I use KeePassXC & KeePass android (currently); and sync’d through GDrive; which is good enough for my needs.
keepass because it is simple and local
