Do you use a password manager?

I also heard a lot of good things about BitWarden elsewhere.

The problem with easy passwords is that if reused for multiple accounts a hacker won't have any issues accessing the content.

Sorry I thought you meant export, search for duplicated/compromised passwords and replace them with generated ones.

I'm just hoping our over-reliance on tech isn't misplaced.

Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Things like passwords I think are better left to technology to generate and maintain given the necessary complexity, at least in my case.

Of course you still need to remember a relatively complex 'master password' and keep a secure offline backup/copy.

Aside from being a great password manager, it has the ability to be a 2FA on Windows (Android has plenty of free options - I use 2FAS and it's excellent).

Upgrade your account to a premium membership and unlock some great additional features.

1 GB encrypted storage for file attachments.
Additional two-step login options such as YubiKey, FIDO U2F, and Duo.
Emergency Access
Password hygiene, account health, and data breach reports to keep your vault safe.
TOTP verification code (2FA) generator for logins in your vault.
Priority customer support.
All future premium features. More coming soon!
All for just $10.00 /year!

Surprised by how many features premium Bitwarden users get for only $10/yr because if it were LastPass, it'd cost a lot more.

Naw naw naw. I don't need any password keepers. I remember them in my brain. And there they will stay locked, and untouched by these disgusting cyber pirates.

The only problem is, that I forgot the password to my brain.

I was able to successfully hack into @AncientBoi 's gbatemp account by simply using the password "Iluvdik."

Tho it isn't, but the meaning is true.

A USB stick could be used to store passwords, but then again it's still relying on technology. I have no complaints towards Bitwarden so I'll remain a member of theirs.

I'll probably pay $10 just to show them support.

BitWarden

of course, I dumped lastpass when LogMeIn bought them. So now I run Bitwarden.

same as linuxares.

 

[leon315]

Yes, i use traditional pen&paper and i locked them into safebox, never trust those service providers.

 

[Dr_Faustus]

My work does, I refuse to personally however. I just do not trust the concept of leaving my passwords in the hands of a third party that can be compromised at any point. Something that is always bound to happen and will happen at some point.

 

[Baoulettes]

I do not use any service beside a generator, my memory is the password manager.
I write them on paper and hide it in a place only I have the key
(this is for bank account or my work stuff)
for games or other I just don't mind having paper next to my monitor or something (i just got used to write them so I kind of know it from memory )

I use 1Password. I've been using it for years now. I have used things like LastPass and BitWarden when working at certain companies but they just seem a bit clunky in comparison.

 

[bindeross]

ofc, that is why I use MacBook

 

[Marc_LFD]

I paid $10 today to support Bitwarden and looking thru the health of my passwords, a bunch of 'em need to be updated.

Used to be 10 characters for a password, now 15. Yet, there's folks who reuse their same password and keep as basic as possible, but I'm not them and it concerns me since it's my accounts.

 

[Lofuuzi]

In fact, we can all create a set of our own passwords, but since there are no uniform rules for the format and length of passwords on websites, we have to use the password manager to manage all kinds of passwords.
I actually remember all the passwords I've used, and the only reason I use manager is to save the hassle of typing passwords out.
I use microsoft and google for me.

 

[holopengin]

Bitwarden is great. I use KeePassXC combined with Resilio Sync now though. Keeps my passwords off of other people's servers without me needing to actually run my own bitwarden server.

 

[idontgetit]

Don't use any proprietary garbage being suggested.

Use Keepass Like me. A based, epic, king.

I literally keep my passwords on a text document on an external hard drive. The only security risk would be my wife and she already knows most of my passwords anyways.

How many characters does your passwords have? I read the recommended amount is 15 while 10 is the minimum.
