killamch89 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Personally, I'm using Keeper Password Manager at the moment and it's a very secure one. It has all the bells and whistles from 256 bit bank encryption to the option to erase your passwords if you get the Master Password incorrectly too many times. It's very customizable and overall a very good platform. I've also used 1Password and Safe In Cloud in the past and they're also very reliable and I've heard nothing but good things about Bitwarden (their premium plan is affordable at $10 per year and it's an open source platform that undergoes independent audit). Just as an fyi with Bitwarden, it does take quite a bit more time and effort to set up. Also, whatever you do, DO NOT use Lastpass - it constantly gets hacked, not very secure, very easy to use but their customer service is a pain - STAY AWAY from it. So what are your thoughts on Password Managers? Do you use them? If so, which one and what made you start using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I have lastpass installed and also 1 more year left of the upgrade. And I think I may have to reduce the dependency of such type of the password managers these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 complex passwords for my Bitwarden and Authy accounts. I keep printed out copies of the passwords at safe places at home, work, and in my physical wallet. I use two-factor authentication by a Yubikey, TOTP, and email to my Gmail account, which has Google Advanced Protection enabled. Also, BW makes life a lot easier. Even if there were no security benefits, I would still use it. All the passwords auto-complete, and I don't have to remember a million passwords. I can change passwords when required without having to remember a new password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I mostly need the password managers for the bank logins and also for the bank where I have to generate longer and stronger password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend that you change password manager - Lastpass is constantly getting hacked almost every year and is a huge security risk to your password info. 6 hours ago, Empire said: complex passwords for my Bitwarden and Authy accounts.

Bitwarden is extremely safe in that it's constantly audited and given high security marks by the independent security auditors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to see if I can use any other in near future too. Keypass is there but I have no idea if that would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that I jumped to keeper password which is pretty good themselves and undergo security audits too but Bitwarden is highly recommended by almost everyone I know.

skyfire Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 That is a good thing. I think having the open source code yet have better security on cloud is a good edge they have over lastpass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I would never do the book or the diary where I can write password if that comes into the hands of the wrong people that would be surely bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no difference when you have another sey girl using your laptop and your passwords gets saved with Chrome/Edge and they get into your Gmail account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
