Ask HN: Recommend Password Manager
Hello,
I have been postponing moving to a managed password service for a long time, the results have not been catastrophic but I've played the odds long enough.
Lastpass and 1password are often recommended. I am happy to pay an one-off fee but a monthly subscription service is a no-go for me. I would also prefer to have the option to switch off syncing and my hashed passwords going to the cloud. I don't have time to go in full homebrew mode as others seemed to have done.
So what do you guys recommend? Is there a site that compares these products? I’m using Bitwarden [1] and am happy with their product. It’s open source and you can self-host it quite easily if you don’t want to use their cloud. They do have a free tier and a premium one for $10/year. It’s been a while since I set it up but if I remember correctly I didn’t like the official implementation due to performance reasons and am now using bitwarden_rs [2] instead. [1] - https://bitwarden.com/ [2] - https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/blob/master/READ... Seconding Bitwarden. I moved to it from LastPass a while ago and I'm glad I did. It's simple and easy to use, open source, and they keep improving it.
