Every time I come on this sub and see people recommend last pass I paste the Wiki on them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LastPass

How those people still use this that company blows my mind.

You want a free password manager?

  • BitWarden

You want a paid password manager that has MORE features, and have literally NEVER HAD A BREACH?!

  • 1Password

Both companies paid for external audits and both companies are just fucking awesome, and actually care about it's users. You should see the hoops 1Password went through to finally satisfy it's macOS user's after switching from Native to Electron. I've never seen a company work that hard to prove themselves.

There's also local one's like KeePass and others but you really should have some sort of backed up password manager in case of catastrophic failure.

TLDR: I use 1Password, have for years and laugh at people who tell me LastPass is better because it's slightly cheaper.

LastPass has also passed external audits. They are SOC compliant among other things.

Also KeePass. Local encrypted storage. Never rely on a cloud service for your vital information.

I disagree to some extend. The world is built on cloud services. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing.

Relying on a service however that has had a dozen breaches is just fucking stupid.

I store the KeePass file on Dropbox as well as back it up locally so it can sync with my computer and my phone whenever I make changes. At least with KeePass, if the cloud storage goes away, I have my own local copy.

If 1password shuts down i still have my local stuff as well. Either way, two good options

Dropbox has had their issues.

Yea, OneDrive, or other cloud drive to make it easier. Definitely use a long password with letters, numbers, and symbols so the password file would be very difficult to decrypt.
