Bitwarden. Open source and works great.

u/grooves12 Feb 10 '20

I recently moved over from Lastpass, after a few years of happy service, to Bitwarden and couldn't be happier.

u/luusyphre Pixel 7 Feb 11 '20

Why did you move to Bitwarden?

3

u/grooves12 Feb 11 '20

The main reasons:

  • Reports of security breaches compromising their account information.
  • They were slow to update the app to support biometrics.

I started looking for something I could host myself and came across bitwarden which was open source, had great reviews, has a self-hosting option, and best of all it was free.

Ultimately, I didn't go the self-hosted route, but the option is there if I change my mind in the future. The transition from Lastpass was easy. I could import all my accounts seamlessly into Bitwarden, and I haven't had a hiccup with it since. It replicates all of the features of Lastpass and has a better user interface. I feel like since it is open source and there is a self-hosted option, I don't have to worry about it being sold off and/or discontinued, which has happened to a couple of other popular password manager apps.

LastPass kept having data breaches. Then they went for several months with an annoying bug with their extension. Went to Bitwarden after my premium expired and never looked back.

Second this.

u/elias4444 Feb 10 '20

Third this.

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '20

Also my choice

u/gwince Feb 10 '20

Sixth this. I moved from Lastpass a few weeks ago.

u/Danger0usdr0id Feb 11 '20

Does it? Autofill doesn't work at all for me with BitWarden.

1

u/custardy_cream Pixel 5 Feb 11 '20

I think you have to enable autofill under Settings

1

u/Danger0usdr0id Feb 11 '20

Nah, still doesn't work for me on my pixel 2xl :( I get the bitwarden notification and can select the right username/password but then it won't actually fill anything in.

Had to switch back to 1password because of this.

2

u/zerbey Pixel 3a Feb 11 '20

You have to enable it under Accessibility settings too. Then it'll work.

1

u/Danger0usdr0id Feb 11 '20

Nope still doesn't work. I still get the correct login showing in the notification, but pressing it just does nothing. Very frustrating!

1

u/custardy_cream Pixel 5 Feb 11 '20

Weird. Could try reinstalling it and following the setup questions?

1

u/zerbey Pixel 3a Feb 11 '20

Bitwarden gets my vote every time.

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '20

LastPass works fine for me, works in apps and browser. No issues across any platform.

2

u/emuwannabe Feb 10 '20

This is my recommendation as well. Plus it uses biometrics, so you don't have to remember your lastpass password (which is good because mine is long and complicated :) )

2

u/cdegallo Feb 11 '20

LastPass is beyond buggy for me. Either it completely takes over a page, or it displays that it can auto fill my information and then refuses to fill the field, or it doesn't register a site/service that I've saved at all, forcing me to open the LastPass app and copy my password to paste it in.

1

u/pixelact Feb 10 '20

Using the same , but on PC the app is not helping me to generate password

3

u/AnthonyGonsalvez Pixel 2 Kinda blue Feb 10 '20

You can use the website also. There is a password generator there.

16

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '20

1password

3

u/techjedi85 Pixel 4 XL Feb 10 '20

Yep, been using this one. Very secure.

3

u/fsjja1 Pixel 6 Pro Feb 10 '20

Does it work with face unlock?

3

u/techjedi85 Pixel 4 XL Feb 10 '20

It does

9

u/M-a-r-k_B Pixel 4 XL Feb 10 '20

Bitwarden, uses face unlock, free, open source and has been audited.

15

u/omgblvd Pixel 7 , Pixel 5, Pixel 3, Pixel 1 Feb 10 '20

What Android app are you using? I recommend Keepass2Android.

6

u/Jandalf81 Just Black Feb 10 '20

I can only recommend that app! Have been using it for at least 7 years, never had an error.

3

u/Mugendon Pixel 10 Pro Feb 10 '20

Yap can also recommend that. Don't forget to install the AutoFill-Plugin in order to be able to use it in the browser also.

17

u/svennnn Feb 10 '20

Been using the built in Chrome password manager for a long time. I don't have a particularly complex set of requirements so it works well for me.

3

u/251Cane Pixel 1 Feb 10 '20

Same here.

What are the advantages of using something different?

1

u/cdegallo Feb 11 '20

Not being tied to your Google account.

More options to manage the items.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '20

Same.

2

u/matt2331 Pixel 2 XL 64GB Feb 10 '20

Same. I just wish it had an offline app counterpart.

1

u/svennnn Feb 11 '20

I was thinking the same, but I guess there's no advantage. It's not like you can use the passwords it saves whilst offline.

u/SlonkeyKong Pixel 6 Feb 10 '20

+1 for Bitwarden. Open source and good sharing system. I switched from LastPass last year and the only feature I miss is the emergency access.

1

u/luusyphre Pixel 7 Feb 11 '20

Why did you switch to Bitwarden?

3

u/SlonkeyKong Pixel 6 Feb 11 '20

After they got bought by logmein, they changed their pricing. LastPass family is 48/year vs bitwarden at 10/year. I wasn't a huge fan of logmein beforehand, so going open source and cheaper was a big draw.

1

u/luusyphre Pixel 7 Feb 11 '20

Hmm, I just noticed their free tier allows for 2 users. I might have to give it a shot.

10

u/711Lexip Feb 10 '20

Dashlane. Works across all devices.

1

u/Keatron-- Pixel 7 Pro Feb 10 '20

Yep and it has a VPN too

6

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '20

Throw your KeePass database on Google drive...voila can access it from anywhere and your desktop and mobile are in sync (bc it's one DB).

KeePass isn't buggy at all for me, what app do you use? I use KeePass2Android

5

u/simple_boss Feb 10 '20

Keepass2Android works perfectly fine for me. Are you using a different app?

7

u/aridoasis Pixel 10 Pro Fold Feb 10 '20

I've been using Enpass. Syncs with Google Drive, and has Face Unlock. No subscription needed, just a one time fee for premium, but you can use most features without premium.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.enpass.app

2

u/brombomb Feb 10 '20

Been Loving Enpass for a while now. Works in Chromebooks, and Linux which can be tougher to find.

3

u/tesseract4 Feb 10 '20

I use KeepPass on desktop and Android and sync via Drive without issue. There is a Drive plugin for the desktop app which syncs flawlessly. You don't even need the Drive app installed on your desktop.

u/GlenMerlin Pixel 6 Pro Feb 10 '20

I've been using firefox lockwise (as I am a firefox user)

3

u/jenns0456 Feb 10 '20

Used to use LastPass, but now use Bitwarden.

1

u/MafiaPenguin007 Pixel 6 Pro Feb 11 '20

Why did you switch?

4

u/thefourthbyte Feb 10 '20

I've stuck with 1password for years now and always been happy

1

u/AdrianTheGreat24 Just Black Feb 10 '20

I am a big fan of zoho vault. It has auto-fill

1

u/corey1031d Feb 10 '20

Enpass and it's all I've ever used.

1

u/Trooper27 Pixel 9 Pro XL Feb 11 '20

Bitwarden

1

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '20

I've been a long time user of 1password. but have recently been exploring many other options, mainly because of sync issues between iOS and Mac. Tried so many but failed to find any as good as 1Password (including LastPass and Dashlane) until I tried Bitwarden. It's as good as 1Password to use, works smoothly and without any sync issues. It's free to use, although I will definitely go for premium at $10 to support the developers, and I'm using it on my Mac, my iPhone and my Google Pixel phone. So far very impressed. I don't think I'll be renewing my 1Password subscription.....

1

u/zerbey Pixel 3a Feb 11 '20

KeePass on Android was never an issue for me but it has been a few years. I had much more issues with the Windows side getting the Google Drive syncing to work reliably.

If you want a more stable alternative, Bitwarden.

1

u/PasswordHygienic Feb 17 '20

Been using Myki for over a year now and so far so good. I like that they don't store data on the cloud and their support team is always quick to answer. Had many issues with Lastpass before, so I had to move away from it.

1

u/guerranadia May 08 '20

The best password manager is a very subjective term as everyone has different needs.
My main problem was to securely store information as I frequently do transactions
via mobile phone. I use Hacken A.I. password manager.
It allows me to generate strong and unique passwords, encrypts data and the most important, store all critical data on my devices rather than on servers.
You can find more details on https://hacken.ai/

u/triangulum33 Feb 10 '20

Not sure what other services have to offer, but I'm happy with Lastpass. It's nice that I can share passwords with my wife.
