Battle Password Managers in 2020

[camo7782]

What of the following software do you use as password manager? In particular I want to find a solution able to auto-fill login credentials in both websited and desktop apps that is secure and stored encrypted data, possibly locally and/or in the cloud.

 

[DDE_Server]

True key online
Keepass 2.44 for offline password storage and backup for true key
updated with passwords exported from true key in regular basis

Thanks for the suggestion. However, please note that it clearly gives a warning for being an experimental feature. Use at your own risk.

yes, because they never really pushed it, for security reasons.

I have been using Sticky Password, for several years now, an excellent manager, there are no problems.

Ditto here about Sticky Password.

Note too that Sticky is exceptionally good for auto login to encrypted apps/files (not just websites). Also, with Sticky you can save your PWs on your own computer. In addition, you can often find some very good lifetime subscription deals for Sticky on the web.

I am using 1Password because of the understanding that without the Secret-Key nobody has access to my Password DB.

isn't the same for every password manager?

Hello @camo7782

not rly "I think" since they explicitly mention that on the Security feature of 1Password and thanks to you I have seen that they have become GDPR compliant.

About your Secret Key | 1Password <- Secret Key

Best regards
Val.

after a few years of using chrome's built-in password manager, I switched to Lastpass about a week ago. I tried both Bitwarden and Lastpass and after seeing them both in action I chose Lastpass only due to the fact that it has a much better integration within the Android OS. I honestly hope Bitwarden steps it up and add the functionalities that Lastpass has inside the Android so I can switch. I really like to support Open-Source projects.

Bitwarden : Sync
Keepass : Backup

Moved to Enpass Password Manager recently and I can say it is decent. I don't need to worry about their subscription model as I have a lifetime license. I sync the database to OneDrive.

people will give up a whole lot privacy and security for convenience and ease of use

and they don't care about the musings and arguments made by security geeks

at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how secure your product is if nobody or almost nobody uses it

Exact, and this what some security geeks paranoids are totally missing.

What's wrong about chrome's built-in password manager? I never used any other password manager other than Google, due to better Android integration. Anyway, the most important passwords are in my mind (bank or another sensible information).

KeepassXC for 2020. Reason: I don't know

AFAIK, the password list in Chrome-based browsers, even the portable versions, is locked to a specific computer and can't be backed up or transferred to another computer except through Google sync, which some people consider a privacy concern. Also, until around a year ago, the Chrome password list was stored in plaintext, making it easy for malware to access. Even the Firefox stored passwords are weakly encrypted and should not be used for anything important like banking or healthcare websites.

I never tried the XC version, what are the differences (beside being multi-platform)?

XC Version doesn't support secure desktop on Windows

I'm currently using BitWarden and have been generally satisfied with it, apart from a few times over recent weeks when I could not sign into it on a Win PC. The first PM that I regularly used was RoboForm, can't remember when that was other than early this century, I couldn't believe that I'd managed to not use a PM previously. I've tried Keepass, PasswordSafe, Encrypt, Zoho Vault, LastPass and Dashlane among others over the years, with varying degrees of satisfaction. None had any features that I miss through using BitWarden now, or seemed to be any more reliable or secure.

What about Android integration? I'm thinking to try Bitwarden and replace Chrome buiilt in password manager. Thanks
