Bitwarden extension did it, it removed categories! The only reason I left Edge Wallet, now I have to scroll through 200 passwords to search for a needle in a haystack. WTF?! 🤬
I noticed that as well...Folders are gone. For some reason, thankfully, they are still on the iPhone app (for now). Stupid move. :mad:✌️
(will probably have to keep an eye on apple updates for the app, and not install them)

Yeah, Bitwarden desktop app has them, but there is no autofill only copy/paste, but I do not have currently time to migrate to another PM, I would not mind even paid one.

Still very happy with NordPass. Mostly on the phone. Does things effortlessly and quickly. ✌️
Anothe one I like on the iPhone as well, a virtual unknown, PasswordBoss. Very quick and simple. I like that! ✌️
Still using BitWarden on my desktop. Until they dropped the folders, was easy peasy. ✌️

The auto fill still works for me. Not always, but it does work. Click on the app icon, if needed, and hit the autofill button next to the username/password that you are trying to log into. The app will also show, with a number, in how many logins you have saved for the page you are on. ✌️

You can export them from the desktop app to keep them organized on folders until you find a new password manager.

Keepass or KeepassXC still for me. I like the feel of KeepassXC but I don't like it remembering which folder or last used entry. Keepass remembers where you last clicked on save (e.g Root folder) so I tend to use that but I prefer the KeepassXC Windows pin unlock for ease of use.
Can you recommend KeePass plugins/extensions to make it act exactly as KeepassXC? I'm asking because there are too many plugins/extension/clients, and I don't know what to trust, after all it is a password manager, and you have to add something tested and trusted to extend its functionality.

Good point, a lot of these addons are old. I've been using KeeOpt2 and earlyupdatecheck but both are years old. Maybe I need to do a fresh look at these.

Re-evaluating stuff while I've done a factory reset on my laptop, I did find Keepass's own built- Totp (2-Factor). Just a little hidden. In your entry, click on "Tools" and then OTP Generator settings and then you can enter your shared secret code. (see first image).

This is awesome, thank you so much.

Using TOTP in a password manager is like eliminating 2FA altogether. Convenient, yes, secure, no. 😶‍🌫️

bitwarden started causing me some issues a few months back after an update (primarily not connecting on my phone). Switched to vaultwarden (A lightweight, community-maintained reimplementation of the Bitwarden server, which allows users to use the bitwrden mobile app) and I have been a fan since.

I am intrigued. However, after reading the vaultwarden homepage, it seems a little risky. Can you explain more of why you've gone this route and why you feel it's worth the risk
Thank you.
