[QUOTE="Tiamati, post: 890654, member: 56785"] I used bitwarden for some time. It's easy, very light and secure. It has already been audited and it has a very strong protection. Only 5 critical vulnerabilities were found, of which, only 1 need to be immediatly fixed ([URL='https://cdn.bitwarden.net/misc/Bitwarden%20Security%20Assessment%20Report.pdf']check it here[/URL]) Add to that, you can host your own bitwarden server, so no info would need to be sent to bitwarden. ([URL='https://bitwarden.com/help/article/install-on-premise/']check it here[/URL]). Add to that, they have a good Privacy Policy. For me, the Bitwarden have only a few problems that won't let me recommend it to most people. 1) Every time you need to fill something, you need to click on the extension. You don't have a convenient icon inside the password box to auto-generate passwords or easily fill your info. Furthermore, bitwarden always block itself every time you close your browser. So, basically you'll need to click on it and unlock it almost every time you need. It's true you can reduce the problem using the auto-fill option (that only works if the vault is unlocked) and ask bitwarden to save your credentials and never auto-lock again (but that would reduce your security) 2) Bitwarden doesn't work correctly in Firefox private mode 3) Generally speaking, i think LastPass is more convenient than Bitwarden. It's true LastPass is not considered so secure as Bitwarden or 1Password. But IMHO it is safe enough for the average user if you use 2FA and other security features from LastPass. So for most people i just indicate LastPass cause it's easier to use. But i would certainly indicate Bitwarden instead of LastPass for someone that care more about security than convenience. Anyway, i believe that [URL='https://restoreprivacy.com/bitwarden/']THIS REVIEW[/URL] can answer most of your questions. [/QUOTE]
