Okay so yesterday, I changed my password as a precaution because of the hack, and just now I decided to clean my browser tabs and re login and almost forgot my password. I'm done dealing with passwords.

What password manager do you recommend?

Features Iโ€™m looking for

-Open Source

-Can be synced to cloud (I donโ€™t want self host)

-Can be accessed via a browser

-Cross platform, the more platforms, the better

-End to End Encrypted, and Encrypted at rest on my device, also need some way to authenticate before releasing the password, like a pin or biometrics

-Autofill for browser and apps

-Free (can be a freemium model, but I need the base tier to be free, too broke to spend money on this lol)

-Can export the passwords to a file

I never used a password manager before so sorry if I seem like a noob.

I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.

Edit: Woah, those replies are fast. I think I'll use Bitwarden. Thanks for recommendations! Now I don't need to worry about forgetting passwords anymore. ๐Ÿ˜„

Edit 2: It seems I've forgotten my email password as well as a few other accounts I haven't logged into for a while. Damn, should've used a password manager earlier.

Bitwarden, Psono, Proton Pass. 1Password is not open source but theyโ€™re amazing too and most secure because of a layer of protection

Ooh wow, Proton also made a passmanager? I'm going to have a look, I kinda like that company.

I've had a good experience with 1Password, but I would absolutely look at the others if I was starting from scratch now.

One I wouldn't recommend is LessPass. It is kind of clever, but it relies on doing a hash of a set of values (master key + site + username + counter) and then producing a password from the hash based on some password specifications. Neat, but that's a lot to remember.

because of a layer of protection

What does this mean? It's very vague :D

[โ€“] nautical2975@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

1Password is secured with secret key on top of your master password, adds another level of security. many other password manager, Bitwarden etc are reliant on the strength of your master password
