what is the password manager of choice nowadays?

[dee@social.treehouse.systems]

@ainmosni @olivvybee yeah, I am starting to wonder when a group of queer folk are going to create an OSS thing and just kill this particular enshittification loop

[doppelgrau@anarres.family]

@dee I'm not unhappy with KeePassXC (https://keepassxc.org/) and Keepass2Android (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.android.keepass/) and the database synced with my nextcloud (but nearly any file sync tool will do).
Browser Plugins are available, even passkeys - not sure about the android clients since I have so far avoided using passkeys.

Not sure if the best, but so far works without noticing any real problems.

@dee @olivvybee Hell, I'd be fine with it if some straight people were involved as well.

[pileczka_gaia@chaos.social]

@dee I'm very happy with KeePassXC (called KeePassDX on Android) https://keepassxc.org
It's foss, audited and if you want to completely offline

[dee@social.treehouse.systems]

@pileczka_gaia I have a strong feeling I'll be going this way.

I already have syncthing on everything handling the sharing of the file... so really it's just about trying out the apps and then migrating

[joknopp@chaos.social]

@doppelgrau @dee I can confirm this, works stable for years. I never really tried alternatives since then.

[paul@notnull.space]

@olivvybee @dee same here.

Hoping at some point somebody can develop a standalone client app/add on so we aren't at the mercy of bitwarden

[faith@chaosfem.tw]

@dee
Have used KeePass for years

[arcbac@mastodon.social]

@dee Keepass works on Linux, Windows and Android. It can even autofill in the browser

[ahhhhhhhhhhh@mastodon.social]

@doppelgrau @dee keepass with webdav for sync and you dont need any other password manager. I think it even does 2fa management but i feel keeping your TOTP on the same db defeats the purpose.

[serriadh@social.treehouse.systems]

@dee i use keepassxc on windows, linux and ios, and have done for about 15 years now with various file syncing services to share the database between devices.

The only thing it didn’t do is provide an easy way to manage shared access by multiple users, so we use bitwarden at work, but I think the keepassxc app is noticeably better than the bitwarden one, I feel.

[serriadh@social.treehouse.systems]

@dee i haven’t been able to get it to do fancy integrations like doing secret-service password database stuff under kde, but i do use it to hold some ssh keys and do ssh agent stuff which seems like a neat feature. The firefox plugin works fine, and annoys me less than the bitwarden one (probably because it is a bridge to the desktop app, rather than a standalone client).

[ohubaut@mastodon.top]

@dee there is also @passbolt that is a very decent alternative.

[blue@glauca.space]

@dee honestly, I just use 1Password because it works, and I really don’t want to fuck up hosting something that could ruin my digital life if it gets lost. Esp if you share the family plan with a few friends, it’s not too expensive.

Sharing links are great too.

I might get some hate for this but meh. I just want this stuff to work.

[freya@social.highenergymagic.net]

@dee vaultwarden, love

[irelephant@app.wafrn.net]

@dee@social.treehouse.systems

I use bitwarden with a vaultwarden instance

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@dee@social.treehouse.systems KeepassDX is good, i sync the database file with syncthing . on desktop i use gnome secrets

[maeow@meow.woem.cat]

@blue @dee yeah 1Password just works for me and has for the last 10ish years.

[peachymist@labyrinth.zone]

@dee keepass

[cyder@brain.worm.pink]

@dee i self host vaultwarden and its pretty good
idk syncing stuff was really importnat for me and hacking together something with keepass always sounded like a pain so i went with bitwarden initially and eventually just hosted it myself
