1Password. I love where we can share accounts within the company, while I can also share some with my wife, between our computers and iPads.

Bitwarden. They're open-source, support was always responsive, and they share their security assessments[0][1] for perusal.

Before Bitwarden, I was using KeepassX for years. Over time, the database syncing was becoming an annoyance for me and I was looking for a hosted solution that I could also recommend to non-technical friends and family.

Bitwarden. Works everywhere & has OTP on the super affordable premium plan. Could not do anything without it now.

pass:

https://www.passwordstore.org/

Reason: command line simplicity

It also has a mobile app and a Firefox addon

Bitwarden, free tier is more than enough for me, great user experience, works on all platforms and in the browser.

KeepassXC on desktop Linux + KeepassDX on Android, database synced using Syncthing.

Reasons: Just works, (almost) never has to rely on clipboard, no browser add-on needed, doesn't rely on Android's autofill system (which is buggy, at least on my old phone), is an established open-source standard that I can continue to use for years without fear of a "service" closing up shop and disappearing off the face of the earth.

Bitwarden here. I recently switched from 1password and I couldn't be happier. Clean, simple, affordable.

KeePassXC. It just works smoothly and makes it easy to manage the

password database files myself. Also works on the phone in a

pinch.

I use a wrapper[1] for the CLI version of 1Password. I spend most of my day staring at terminal windows, and it is where I prefer to work, so a CLI password manager was the natural choice.

As for why I replaced pass(1) with it, I now have a team that I need to share passwords with, and 1Password offers a perfect user experience for everyone. I will probably move to a self-hosted solution at some point, but for now, 1Password is perfect — we do use the Enterprise edition though, so your experience may be different.

Enpass:

https://www.enpass.io/

Started using it because of one time payment and Dropbox sync. They switch to subscription model but I still find it quite usable.

1password, good integration between devices, didn't hear about data leaks.

korantu wrote at 2020-10-29 10:28:38:

BitWarden, for sweet spot between being open-source, and hosted. Also, cheap , well-thought out and has responsive support.

Hardware password manager (Trezor). But the console client is lack and it only works through Chrome browser on the cloud for storage. Looking for something else, but it's better than a software password app

Roboform - been using it since 2000-ish. It handles websites and Windows authentication prompts - both from web apps and native programs.

Use it on Win 10 and Android

1Password. It’s really polished and works well everywhere I need it. There’s a Linux version in beta now, but even before that the browser extension available on Linux was all I really needed.

Myki

https://myki.com/

for Personal, it has no master password and has 2FA built-in

And Lastpass for Teams

KeePassXC synced with Nextcloud to all my devices. On iOS I use KeePassTouch.

I used to use 1password but to get newest version I need to pay again.

Exported and switched over to Lastpass which just works. I love it.
