Just wondered what people are using for their password management.

I’m currently using 1Password on a family subscription for both password management and 2FA (and then Authy for the 1Password 2FA). But I’m seeing a lot more posters — particularly since joining Lemmy — championing BitWarden (either cloud or self hosted) and Raivo OTP as a cheaper, almost-as-functional alternative.

So is it worth the switch? Will I lose out on anything by doing so?

I’m currently running BitWarden with a free account to see if I can live with it. But I must admit, 1Password is a staple app for me and one that I would say is priceless to my workflow and setup.

Just interested in your thoughts and trying to stimulate conversation!

      Jup bitwarden is pretty awesome! I use a self hosted vaultwarden. You can link it with the bitwarden browser extensions.

      Question for you since you mentioned how it’s integrated with all your devices. I currently do not use a PW manager (I know, shame on me). Let’s say I get bitwarden, do I need to go back and change every password on every website to the bitwarden-generated password?

      It just seems like I’m “In too deep” in a way where it’ll be a pain in the ass to set up.

        If you have stored your credentials in your browser, you can export them to Bitwarden. It’s fairly easy and will save you a lot of time.

        The point of using Bitwarden (or any password manager) is that you have no idea what your password is. From a security pov you « should » update your credentials but no need to rush, one step a time 👍🏼

        Are you forced to? No. Should you anyway? Yes. I did what @else@lemmy.fmhy.ml said: just change them when you login. That way it doesn’t feel like a grand undertaking, and you still end up with extremely secure passwords that you don’t have to remember.

        Also, i recommend generating your master password. If my senior mom staring down the barrel of alzheimers can remember a 12-digit string of random characters (after emptying out all the space wasted by a few dozen passwords), you can too
