Question Best password manager ( Free & Paid ) & why ?

[reystar]

1Password. Simply the best. Period!
I've tried everything, literally everything. 1Password is the most robust, i've been using it for almost 9 years now. The guys are builders. Never been breached before too, but even if they get ever breached on top of you Master Password you have their Private Seed Phrase and on top of that i have a Yubikey.

The apps are amazing, fluid, well designed and they keep updating them all the time

It's simply the best app i've ever used on any category, imo, 35$ or so / year its nothing for such a quality and polished app.

exactly, nothing beats them in paid market. there is 1password and there are others. i tested every password manager read their whitepaper thoroughly , others like bitwarden proton etc are toys compared to it.their response to security vulnerability is the best in industry, they are getting audited many times per year. the form filling and password fields detection is the best iv seen many websites that nearly all password managers had problem but not 1password

I use Bitwarden for many security reasons plus it is open source

Changing my vote to Bitwarden I have used Norton for many years, so I decided to give another try, and I am loving it, Bitwarden all the way ,,

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.

UPDATE:

After testing many plugins on KeePass, I found those gave me the best usability I needed:



@ErzCrz, do you know any security/privacy issues with these plugins based on your experience?

Nice. I haven't noticed any security or privacy issues. I have explained above in post 108 how to use the built-in TOTP which I discovered. The only plugin I'm currently using is the Early Update check

I use Bitwarden for many security reasons plus it is open source

1. Cloud on Microsoft servers is not really secure. ,
2. What does it matter that it's open source? I recently read an interview where even those who check software and issue a certificate don't review all the software because it's too time-consuming for them.
3. Brave is open source and despite that, it's still earned its share of failures recently.
4. Bitwarden is the most popular right now and will probably be the first to be attacked like LastPass.

The most secure is local KeePass/XC. Passwords are only yours and not in the cloud at someone else's service.

That's my opinion. But it's known that sometimes due to convenience (because the cloud) many people forget about security or falsely believe assurances.

But bitwarden can he self-hosted. That way you have the best of both worlds.

Thanks. I tried to use the built-in TOTP, but it was not convenient as the plugin, it didn't remove spaces in secret codes by default, it gives error until I remove spaces manually.

California USA Headquarters. Certainly the best in the world NSA, CIA, FBI... it's definitely a safe place for passwords :] And of course, by law in the USA they don't have any lock picks
You might as well email them the passwords as you would Google Password Manager
I'm not defending. Everyone uses what they want. We have freedom. I'm just pointing out certain things.

I use KeePass as a vault for all my passwords. On my PC, I use Proton in my browsers. On my iPhone, I prefer Apple's password manager, which I find user-friendly.

Last week, I assisted my brother-in-law in securing his passwords. He had stored 42 passwords in his Apple password manager, but 30 of them were insecure. Among those, 15 consisted of only 5 characters, and he was using the same password for multiple accounts, including his bank account. It took me two hours to resolve everything. He was unaware of the existence of his password manager and had no idea how to use it. I’ve done the same task for five friends, and encountered the same issues each time.

I can never get around to it I admit that I installed KeepassXC on my computer about 6 months ago. But I haven't started it yet It will definitely be my vault of all passwords.
So far, I've only been using Apple's manager on my iPhone for years, but only for applications that I have installed on my phone or where I log in from my phone.
For today, old school - a notebook
More managers that are unnecessary in my opinion than these two. KeepassXC will probably be backed up in the Proton cloud and on a pendrive or external drive. Of course, packed and password-locked.

BTW The passwords that I won't save in the password manager are - Apple account for iPhone, email, computer login password, bank password.

Um...I don't think you know what the term "self-hosted" means.

Looks like a nice setup. Does Proton Drive reliable enough now to replace Microsoft OneDrive on Windows, or Mega will be a better option?

I find Proton to be more reliable then OneDrive which had frequent glitches when I used it.

Completely agree! Proton products are impressive.

I don't know yet. I don't use Microsoft or Google cloud. For obvious reasons. If I had to choose the least evil, I would choose iCloud.
Passwords need to be backed up somewhere. So I would do it on the Proton cloud. And additionally on a pendrive or external drive.

Generally, I'm not in favor of keeping anything in the cloud, so I keep very little there. Your own drive is your own drive.
But I don't use ProtonPass and I don't intend to. I have email and VPN (free) from Proton. Two services are enough. You can't put all your eggs in one basket. That's my rule.

Apart from Proton VPN, I also use Windscribe sometimes.
I provided the password manager - KeepassXC (computer) and Keychain from Apple (iPhone). Mail on Proton and the provider of one of the portals in my country. Generally, I try not to have diversified services in one bag, I avoid Google services and if I ever switched to Mac, I would also free myself from Microsoft

But these are my rules. Everyone does as they like and on their own responsibility
