Well, I did find some topics on the forum, went through the list on the wiki and saw the “ranking” (is that relevant) in the AUR, but I wanted to ask (for a friend whose password manager has a known security vulnerability in one of his dependancies):
What password manager do you use? (if any… but you do, right?)
I wouldn’t use Bitwarden or any proprietary system, and especially programs that store data on other people’s computers (that’s what “cloud” actually is, other people’s computers).
Another vote for KeepassXC. My vault is synced up to my NAS for backup, alongside other redundant immutable backup options. Bitwarden’s been really good for website authentication, I’d rather keep my passwords complex and have them protected with 2FA as the failsafe.
No to all 1Password is the best one! Has the best apps(on all devices) and Supreme security! And very user friendly and easy to use.
I have used it for years! It’s great!
And IF it must be open source Bitwarden as a strong 2nd.
I use KeepassXC for Desktop and KeepassDX for Android. Both are binary files and work like blackbox.
I have forced both password managers into offline mode. My specific firewall rules are configured to never allow them and their third-party applications to connect to the network, as I am cautious about updating fake password manager in future without notice.
why is 2024 even relevant to ‘good password manager’ question??
go with the one that always worked for you.
keepassxc never bit me. I got rid of the browsing extension because its not clear the keepassxc people maintain and I cut and paste from the password manager all primitive and stuff.
second reason is …,kdbx vault files are flexible you can use them in other PW managers too.
It’s probably a good idea not to use it, but this one is official. It’s linked to from the KeePassXC page, and the donation button goes to Janek Bevendorff, a.k.a. phoerious, one of the developers of KeePassXC.
