The Best Password Managers in 2024

BitWarden

Is Keepass there? Good. Upvote.

+1 For KeepassXC, I use it in combination with syncthing to have my passwords available on all devices.

Still using KeepassXC on desktop and laptop and KeePassDX on mobile.

I use Bitwarden for passwords. Just works so well.

KeepassXC and KeePassium for TOTP codes. I keep the database in the cloud but sync a key with Syncthing that’s needed to unlock the database on the devices themselves.

I like ProtonPass. It’s nice.

KeepassXC & Syncthing

Keepass + Syncthing is a great combination.

I use keepass with my database on onedrive.

Then i connect every device to said onedrive account, copy the private key manually on each device that i need to use.

I secure my databse with said private key + a passphrase.

Might not be the best setup, but i feel like with passphrase+key i am secure enough to have the db file in the cloud.

If you are into the command line, pass is also neat. You can even have your keys in a git repo and access it with a FOSS Android app (requires some dedication to set it up). It's very useful to feed passwords to scripts without hardcoding them in the source.

KeepassXC, Passbolt

KeePass for me. I keep my encrypted vault in my 2 factor encrypted gdrive. Get the best of both worlds. No traditional cloud that's a target for hackers and I have passes I can share across devices.

No mention of Enpass? Stores more than just passwords, can be synced locally over wifi or in the cloud without using Enpass servers.

KeePassXC my beloved

I really enjoy 1Password for easy vault sharing between family members. I was able to get my (not so technically literate) siblings and dad onto my family plan. Baby steps!

I love Dashlane, someone tell me why it’s bad.

I've been using Proton Pass since it launched and I think it's really really good.

Positives:

• Nice integration with both desktop and mobile
• Integrated in the proton suite, which I was already using
• Allows you to generate an email alias for each login automatically. Websites will never have your real email and you can easily generate a new alias if one has been compromised
• Supports 2 factor authentication via TOTP, works really well

Negatives:

• No passkey support yet
• Free version only supports like 5 email alias

Pass (Password Store)

Microsoft Excel file

No love for Nextcloud Passwords or Passman? Both have plugins for Nextcloud and have Android Apps.

Can someone explain what those password managers are doing better than Firefox?

KeepassXC with Yubikey

My favorites:

• Proton Pass
  • Pros: Aliases, Proton integration
  • Cons: No passkeys (yet), native desktop apps in beta
• 1Password
  • Pros: SHH agent integration!
  • Cons: Least open
• Bitwarden
  • Pros: Most open, self hosting option
  • Cons: least polished user experience

Vaultwarden

Buttercup Foss is not mention and is a nice alternative

I've been using 1Password for about a year now and like it a lot

Any reason why Keeper isn't on the list? Is it bad?

Any options on StrongBox? It seems like a good option but they don’t quite have the reputation that others have, despite being around since 2017.

Indeed I have 1Password (was the best proprietary) and I'm switching to Proton Pass. This year they lacked features but their integration of their Simple login email aliases is game changer

I get a good reason to stay away from lastpass is their dealing with getting hacked. Valid. However, bitching about not getting to use all the paid features as a free user is ridiculous.

I have used 1Password with the annual plan for years across various browsers and operating systems and have found it to be perfect for everything I need. I will definitely take a look at Proton though.

I use Passy because I like the purple UI lmao

I'd also put Passbolt on the list, it's not that well known, but it's really great. I selfhost it on my home server and I'm very happy with it.
