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I know I could google it, but I want the lastest info, not some outdated reddit post.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

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.

    I’ve put Vaultwarden online and have configured it to backup over the network through duplicity. Updates are automatic (I have a cronjob that just does docker pull/stop/rm/run without checking the error codes). No downtime so far!

    It’s been a while since I’ve used the official Bitwarden server, but Vaultwarden is pretty much foolproof. It’s one of the easiest programs to self-host that I’ve come across.

      Ah, you like living on the edge 😛

      I don’t trust automated Docker updates… There can be breaking changes between versions. I don’t want my Docker containers to automatically break themselves :D

        It’s a testament to Vaultwarden’s update policies, not to my amazing server practices!

        You’re right that this is a terrible idea and it will inevitably bite me in the ass, but keeping up to date with a dozen of self hosted services is a faff and I’ll accept the 15 minutes of docker fuckery to revert the updates if it means I don’t need to remind myself to perform server maintenance.
