I’m using KeePass currently, since I don’t really want to use anything publicly hosted. But I was curious to see what other people have been using!
Bitwarden
Seems most people are recommending Bitwarden! Is it free to selfhost? I’m new to selfhosting but I’d love to give this a shot.
IIRC the $10/yr fee is just for hosting. You should be able to host it yourself for free. At $10/yr tho, even if I’m self hosting I’d pay that just to help development
you don’t need to selfhost it if you’re comfortable using vault.bitwarden.com
Very easy to self-host using docker-compose. It’s my favorite password manager ever since I’ve started hosting an instance on my NAS. I finally managed to get my wife to use a password manager thanks to the simplicity of use it offers. And it’s very easy to import your KeePass database.
I’ve used bitwarden for a few years myself now. I enjoy it. I’m trying to get into self hosting myself and found vaultwarden is an open source fork of bitwarden. That’s probably what I’m going to use
Vaultwarden is a
gorust fork that is significantly lighter for 1-2 users super easy to self hostEdit: rust fork
Vaultwarden is a go fork
Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust, formerly known as bitwarden_rs
But yeah, it’s great.
Forthed! Does everything I need it to do.

second. i think this one is the best. works well on mobile and desktop. can share stuff. has a good free level. i love it
Third. We even formed a organisation to share passwords to streaming sites (looking at you, Netflix). I like the emergency feature when something happen to me and my partner can access my passwords and login information.
I use KeePassXC in my linux desktop, KeePassDX in my android smartphone and syncthing-fork/syncthing to sync modifications between all devices. The encrypted database (long passphrase generated with Diceware method) never goes online. I also use yubikeys and multi factor auth for all important accounts
I’ve been happy with Bitwarden thus far. Used Lastpass back in the day, but migrated over when the renewal prices started creeping up.
Bitwarden, I use it everywhere. I even wrote a Bitwarden app for my Linux phone.

BitWarden has not let me down in 3 years!
KeePassXC and Keepass2Android auto-synced with my Nextcloud instance. Works great cross-platform for Linux/Windows/Android.
I know what you mean, trusting a SaaS provider with my master password list always felt like a bad plan.
KeePassXC and Nextloud to sync things between devices…
Firefox browser. 😬😬
Using and loving pass, especially with git integration tosynch across devices. Will check this one out though
Keepass xc with syncthing
same here, KeePassXC + syncthing on desktop and KeePassDX + syncthing on android. I also run a second syncthing instance on desktop in read only mode that makes backups to my cloud
same, until keepassdx had problems on my samsung phone, at least for a while, so i swapped it out for keepass2android
Funny, I had keepass2droid but had issues and swapped to KeePassDX
i haven’t tried to go back. that was probably a year ago that it broke, and the dev response was that they didn’t like samsung’s code and thought it was a bad idea to try to work around it. issue is still open

Honestly, not being able to reproduce the problem, I don’t feel like going blind when it’s clearly a problem in the OS. I need an AES symmetric key and if I have to go through certificates and RSA asymmetric keys to workaround this issue, it changes the workflow and requires key invalidations, etc… I really don’t know what to do except ask Samsung to implement a proper Keystore.
I mean, that sounds less like that they don’t like it and more like it is objectively bad and working around it would make KeePass less secure…
This is what I do. Important to remember to occasionally backup the file as well.
+1 1Password (coming from LastPass) this manager is really great. Good mobile, desktop and browser support.
Keepass is great, use it at work.
1Password for my personal stuff
Lastpass has had too many leaks / issues for me to ever trust them again
I use Bitwarden in all my devices. Never gave me a reason to look for anything else.
Firefox sync. The service syncs between your actual devices. Nothing is stored online. There is a catch. Everything is encrypted using your password. So if you forget your password, you lose all your passwords.
I sync between my Linux desktop (OpenSuse Tumblweed), my Android phone, and my Steamdeck.
