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 I’m looking for

-Open Source

-Can be synced to cloud (I don’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I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.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. πŸ˜„

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.

If you’re comfortable around *nix stuff: pass. Open source, free forever, you can β€œhost” it with Github private repo.

Love pass. Been using it for years. Although I'm not sure how you would get it to form fill and stuff, but I don't need all that.

I've been using keepass for 10+ years now. I store it on a USB that is only connected to the internet when I plug it in.

Hummm am I the only one using 'pass' ?

What I don't like about pass is that every entry is visible in the file system. An attacker needs just a directory listing to know where I have accounts.

You're not alone

I use a mixture of Bitwarden and KeepassXC.

BW for most uses KP for things I only want local copies of ^^

If you're going through all your site's changing passwords maybe take a look at http://simplelogin.io to also hide your email address. Some sites block you, which is ridiculous, but for the majority of sites it's a good idea.

My brain. Comes up with the whackiest excuses for why this-and-that password would be a great choice and how easy it would be to remember, only to later explain to me rationally why it was the wrong choice and how I should've known I'd forget it. Then again, that's just extra security. If it's only stored in my internal memory and even I can't remember it, no one else is getting in for sure.

Used to love LastPass, then it charge expansive for pc and android multi device. I'm too looking for better pm.
