Best Password Managers

ORIGINAL POST

I’ve been reading a lot today on Reddit trying to figure out the best password manager that’s affordable, secure, and easy to use across different devices. I'm not sure if you guys saw the news this morning about a huge password breach, but I finally got spooked enough to do something about it. I’ve been using the same recycled passwords for years and figured now’s the time to switch to a secure password manager.

A few friends told me to focus on stuff like encryption strength, zero-knowledge policies, and whether it works well on both phone and laptop. The names that keep coming up are ProtonPass, NordPass, and TotalPassword. ProtonPass is the more known companies and famous for their wide range of privacy products, NordPass seems to keep popping up whenever I ask LLMs or search on Google and TotalPassword just seems super cheap right now. Has anyone tried any of these? Would love to hear your experience before I choose one. Looking for something that’s reliable but still budget-friendly.

Best Password Manager List & Comparison Table

Posted by uTech1000 · in r/PasswordManagers · 5 months ago

Hi, I made this updated password manager list & comparison table to help people decide which password manager to use. Please feel free to share any suggestions for improvement.

Best Password Managers

Bitwarden

Bitwarden is open source, audited, and uses end-to-end encryption. It works across all major platforms and offers a solid free plan. The interface is functional but can feel clunky compared to others.

1Password

1Password is closed source but audited and highly polished. It has no free tier, but it is easy to use and integrates well with different devices and browsers. Strong security and a smooth interface are its main selling points.

Proton Pass

Proton Pass is made by the team behind ProtonMail and ProtonVPN. It is open source, audited, and built around privacy with end-to-end encryption. It has a clean interface and a good free tier, but no option for local storage.

Comparison Table

Password Manager	Audits	Open Source	Free Tier	2FA	E2EE	Cloud Based	Local Storage	Email Alias	Clean UI	No Security Incidents	Android	iOS	Windows	macOS	Linux	Chrome	Firefox

Out of curiosity, when setting up a password manager is it best to use your actual email or an email alias? I’m assuming if I make a Proton Pass account that would use the Proton Mail address for account creation but what about the likes of Bitwarden?

5 upvotes on reddit

termi21 · 3 months ago

If the password manager is cloud-based, i would suggest using an alias that is not used anywhere else.

This way you won't get hit by random bruteforce attacks on your account, something which happens quite often after big data leaks.

I mean, if your master password is unique, totally random and long, you don't have much to worry about the leaks, but an extra layer of security never hurts.

marra0210 · 4 months ago

I personally use a an alias email because most of my standard emails have been exposed in data breaches, and I don’t want to use an email I have used for another service for my password mgr.

1 upvotes on reddit

Spinmoon · 4 months ago

Great question. I would lean toward a "real" email address for such critical services, as an alias could be deleted (intentionally or not) and not be recoverable. It seems dangerous to me. Also the point of using alias is to be protected against data leaks and ads. If your password manager get leaked, I think you would have more problems than your email being exposed. And I think point two about protecting against SPAM/ads doesn't apply there.

Am I missing anything? Curious about additional inputs.

It might be worth adding a column for passkey support. Just switched to 1pass and surprised to find it handles generating/sending/storing passkeys.

It can also do the same for 2fa like Authy or Google Authenticator. I’m considering it because easy, but after ptsd from LastPass, I have some worry about having both passwords and 2fa living in the same tool…

Best Password Manager Reddit in 2024?

Posted by upsexy · in r/PasswordManager · 1 year ago

I'm looking for the best password manager in 2024. I know there are a lot of options out there, and I'm looking for recommendations on which ones are the most reliable and effective.

I've tried a bunch of them that I found online. These include LastPass, Dashlane, and 1Password, but I didn't have much luck with them. I'm now thinking of getting the following providers:

Total password: One of the most popular password managers, known for its robust security features. It has a large user base, making it easy to find support. While it can sometimes feel a bit complex to use, it offers a lot of features and is worth considering for its extensive security capabilities.

NordPass: An app designed for quick, easy-to-use password management. It's straightforward and to the point, promising comprehensive protection. Even though I didn't have much success with it, I appreciate its user-friendly interface and simplicity, which might work better for someone looking for a no-fuss password manager solution.

Keeper: Specifically geared towards all-around security and password management. It has many features like encrypted storage and identity theft protection, which sounds great. Although my experience wasn't as impressive as I hoped, the range of features it offers makes me think it could be very effective for others, especially with its focus on security and performance.

But I'm curious to hear from you:

Best Password Manager Reddit recommends?

Best Free Password Manager Reddit recommends?

Best Password Manager for Windows 11?

Has anyone had good experiences with certain password managers? What features do you like about them? Any success stories or tips would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Best Password Manager Reddit Recommends in 2024?

Posted by incested · in r/PasswordManager · 1 year ago

I'm trying to find the best password manager in 2024 because there are so many to choose from. I've read lots of posts, but I still can't decide which one is the best one this year.

I need something safe and easy to use. I'm tired of forgetting my passwords all the time. I heard some password managers can make strong passwords for you and keep them safe, which sounds great. But after the Lastpass breach i'm more suspicious.

I'd also like to know if they have extra stuff like sharing passwords safely with my family or telling me if my information gets stolen. I don't mind paying for something that works well, but I'm also wondering if there are any good free ones.

So, what do you all think?

What password manager do you really like in 2024, and why?
What extra things does it do that you think are really helpful?
Has anyone used a free password manager that you like?

I'd really appreciate any advice or stories you have. It would help me and anyone else looking for a good password manager this year.

Thanks for helping!

Best Password Manager According to Reddit in 2024?

Posted by aromipesa · in r/passwordmanagerapps · 1 year ago

Hey Reddit,

I'm on a quest to find the best password manager out there, and I really value what you all think. Remembering every single password is starting to feel impossible, and I've heard that a top-notch password manager is a game-changer. There are ones that don't cost a penny and others that do, with the paid ones usually offering more fancy features.

I've been doing some homework and stumbled upon a few names that keep coming up as favorites. But, I need your help to pick the right one. Here's the scoop:

Total Password: This is the one I see at the top of most lists. It's got rave reviews for being super user-friendly and offering a mix of free and premium options. The premium version, in particular, is loaded with features that make it stand out as the best choice for keeping your passwords locked down tight.
LastPass: A close second for many, known for its ease of use and a solid free version. The premium upgrade adds even more security and convenience.
1Password: Frequently mentioned for its strong security measures and sleek design, though it's a paid service. Fans argue it's worth every penny for the peace of mind it provides.
Dashlane: Another popular pick, offering both free and paid versions. It's praised for its security features and ease of use across multiple devices.
Bitwarden: Loved for being open source with a very capable free version. Those looking for extra features can opt for the affordable premium plan.

So, Reddit, I'm turning to you for the final word:

Is Total Password really the best password manager according to Reddit?
Are there any standout free password managers that come close?
For those who prefer the premium route, which password manager gives you the most bang for your buck?

I'm leaning towards a paid option for that extra layer of security, but I'm also curious about what the free versions have to offer. Eager to hear your recommendations!

I've had my share of experiences with password managers and currently use Total Password after a less-than-stellar experience with NordPass. From my perspective, Total Password truly stands out for its user-friendly interface and the robust security features available in its premium version, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and tech-savvy users. If you're leaning towards a paid option for enhanced security, I believe Total Password offers a great balance between price and performance. They often have deals, but the best I've seen is their annual plan, which offers a significant discount compared to paying monthly.

I believe Bitwarden is the best available password manager. They've been exclusively protecting passwords since 2016 and have never been breached. They've also got the best free tier of any of the top managers. Their personal premium plan is also very reasonable at only $10/year. I trust my 1000+ logins, and personal information to Bitwarden, and recommend them without reservation.

I've tested all of the major players. If you have a Proton account, Proton Pass is a reasonable option. I'm not a fan of 1Password, although I know some people like it, and their security is suitable. The only other one I'd consider is KeePass, although you'll have to manage sync yourself. KeePass has excellent security but requires a bit more technical aptitude to safely use. I use it as my backup vault.

Nein, Bitwarden ist der größte Müll, ständig gibt es Probleme mit dem Login. Mal funktioniert es mal kommt ständig die Meldung Masterpasswort ungültig, selbst der Anmeldeversuch am PC "Mit dem Gerät anmelden" scheitert. Ein-und ausloggen am Handy funktioniert tadellos, am PC fehlanzeigte. Mal funktioniert es mal nicht, auch die Erweiterung hat in Edge, Chrome und in Firefox seine Probleme mit dem anmelden. Und diese Probleme gibt es nicht erst seit gestern sondern sind teils schon über 1 Jahr alt. Und was unternimmt Bitwarden? Nichts, im Gegenteil, jedes mal kommen die selben beschränkten Standard antworten das man den Support kontaktieren soll und sie mehr information bräuchten? Die größte Frechheit ist noch das sie behaupten sie seien besser als LastPass, Lügner sind das sonst nichts.

I can comment only on Bitwarden. It's free/inexpensive, safe, and functional. It can be buggy, so it may be better for the technically inclined to use clients that can be rolled back to previous versions. There is a lot of user support, which can be both a blessing and a curse. I would recommend it with some caveats.

You posted this on three subreddits.

How suprising:

Bitwarden subreddit prefers Bitwarden
1 Password subreddit prefers 1Password

Conclusion: They all have their own fans, so they are all doing good things.

However, as always on ProtonPass you read more negative sounds. I have to agree, as owner of both Proton Pass and Bitwarden. Proton Pass definitely is not on par with Bitwarden and 1Password. Then, as Bitwarden is much cheaper and it is newer and open source I think Bitwarden should be your choice!

sharp-calculation · 3 months ago

This is really the answer. 1password is the leader. It costs a small amount of money, on a subscription basis.

Bitwarden is surprisingly good for a free product. I worry about the long term viability of the product since only a tiny faction of their customers pay at all and those that do pay a very small amount (like $10 per year). The back end requires money to make it run. Turn that off and bitwarden becomes largely useless. It needs money to continue being a working platform, but very few pay.

Reddit screams bitwarden for every one of these questions, but that's only because it's free and so many Redditors are looking for EVERYTHING to be free.

I think 1password is a superior product and I'm very happy to pay the small amount I do. (About $36 per year). It's more than worth the subscription price.

2 upvotes on reddit

tintreack · 3 months ago

Unfortunately 1Password is not fully open source. And for really, any software, but especially a password manager, that should absolutely be a 100% unadulterated grade A deal breaker.

Reddit screams Bitwarden for a very good, and a very well deserved reason. It is insanely fleshed out and virtually a premium piece of software entirely for free, plus, it's open source. Which also is why you should never have to worry about the long-term viability of the product.

KeePass 2 for me, both private and for work, 1pass is also nice, but honestly not needed unless you need to distribute keys to different people from one central storage. Neat for a team, unnecessary bells and whistles for a single individual.

I have been using Bitwarden for personal and bussiness use and so far so good.

Another point for Bitwarden. Ability to self host is great in my homelab, option for paid hosting is great for enterprise. Works great too.

^ seconded. Works very well. Also have a family plan to share some accounts and documents with family. Added work passwords in here too for the same reason as you OP

Third. I am a very tough customer, and I am constantly impressed with the UX in 1Password. As a one man IT dept. in a small, private K12, I can't afford to be hunting around for things. I need it now, so I can GSD!

Plus, it's $3/month for personal and $5/month for family?! Take my money!

Their desktop app, phone app, and browse add-in are what sold the product for us. They work far better than the competition when we evaluated in 2020 (against LastPass, BitWarden, Thycotic)

Love Keeper. It's one of a select few, maybe the only one, that is convenient to use and has dedicated apps across all four platforms I use regularly (Linux, Mac, Android, and windows)

Having used both bitwarden and 1password, my money goes to 1password. It works and the apps are beautiful. The family plan tops it and is super cheap.

Would suggest for personal use this one. For company need still think KeePass is better.
