Just wondered what people are using for their password management.
I’m currently using 1Password on a family subscription for both password management and 2FA (and then Authy for the 1Password 2FA). But I’m seeing a lot more posters — particularly since joining Lemmy — championing BitWarden (either cloud or self hosted) and Raivo OTP as a cheaper, almost-as-functional alternative.
So is it worth the switch? Will I lose out on anything by doing so?
I’m currently running BitWarden with a free account to see if I can live with it. But I must admit, 1Password is a staple app for me and one that I would say is priceless to my workflow and setup.
Just interested in your thoughts and trying to stimulate conversation!
I just use firefox to remember my passwords
is there an advantage to switching to some third party app like bitwarden?
I feel like firefox is good enough and very easy to view/manage my passwords, but open to arguments why others are worth switching to
App fill is a pretty useful feature of most third-party password managers. When I open an app on my phone, it will recognize which login(s) are associated with it and autofill.
Also, the ability to create and store secure notes has proved invaluable. I don’t want to store things like safe combinations in plain text in my Google Drive.
How does it store them though? I thought (this was maybe long ago) they they were stored plaintext on your machine instead of in an encrypted vault like password managers.
I’ll be honest, I have no idea how secure the firefox passwords are stored… maybe I should actually research this some more
but I would hope Mozilla has a reasonably secure method in place
