I'm looking for a free to use browser password manager that works with windows hello and also has an android version that can sink to it preferably also compatible with biometrics.
My preferred browser is FireFox but I'm a bit flexible as long as it's not chrome, chromium based is okay though.
I've done a bit of digging but couldn't really find much. Apparently lastpass has issues in general and bitwarden has specific issues with FireFox, I'm kinda lost in all of this.
Any suggestions?
I've had enough of samsung pass and figured the sooner i switch password managers the better.
Currently I'm prospecting bit warden but dreading moving over all my passwords then i remembered I just use google as my password manager on my PC. How well it does it work as a password manager on samsung?
Not important:
I've been on samsung pass for years now and I've always hated it. The fact that in some app almost arbitrarily it required biometric authentication rather than pin, it's just so incredibly poorly designed. Not to mention how it locks it into the samsung eco system since it's designed to not let you export your password to any other password manager.
After some inactive hours, I logged in and got out of memory because of the Passwords App, which should not take too much memory, no hard processing is needed unless something else is running behind this and everyone doesn't know.
I have an i9 CPU, 64GB of RAM, MacOs Sequoia 15.1
I’m super technologically illiterate but have recently been getting generated passwords for work. Because these passwords are auto generated there is no way I can remember numerous the random passwords these passwords are for highly confidential information and I need a way to store them so I can remember them, but so that people can’t easily gain access to them. What do you recommend as a way to keep these passwords on my iPhone? Thanks for the help!
I am pretty computer illiterate. I have always used Google Passwords. And used the same password for everything. This week I went and changed EVERY password to a random generated one. I have 2 Yubikeys on the way and 2 thumb drives. ( No idea what to do with them, I just keep seeing everywhere to use them) I am going to also print them all out once I figure out how to do so. I am deciding between Bitwarden and 1Password. Again, I know absolutely NOTHING about what I am doing but have had my accounts hacked, not surprisingly, and would like to avoid that with an important account. So any advice on where to start. Videos to watch. Articles to read would be appreciated. Which manager of the 2 is better? I would like to keep auto fill as much as possible if I can. I have an S23 Ultra and a Galaxy Book 4 360 as far as devices.
I currently have it in my password manager but I don't think that's a good idea.
Heads up, I’m an Apple girl and primarily use Apple devices like iPhone, iPad, iMac, & MacBook, so cross-compatibility and autofill are a must along with all the classic security assurances. It would also be nice if there was a place to add Notes regarding individual passwords like in the Passwords app.
I primarily use the built in Passwords app on my iPhone 15 for storing my passwords, but there’s no way for me to sort them, so I’m considering switching to Bitwarden since it seems to have that feature.
Save for this feature, is the Passwords app or Bitwarden the better choice?
I see no love for robo form why?
I've been using RoboForm for 6 years and it's been around since what,1999? They've never been hacked and they've got features and benefits of a very expensive password I'm surprised that Roboform isn't brought up / suggested as an alternate password manager to consider when shopping for a password managers.
I'm looking for a password manager that easily groups multiple accounts for the same site togeter. I've tried a few but most of them just lets you add a new account separatly and there is no easy way to group them withouit manually doing it with folder etc.
Like how google's passkey work. android app save passwords, other devices just install 'client' that requests password, on android side i confirm request and that device autocompletes password is there app like this?
Basically whatever the question says if I'm connected to public wifi network and use a password manager to autofill login to my VPN or maybe any other general website (eg: Gmail), can my login credentials still be compromised?
I'll state that I like 1Password for most what it does. Where it falls short to me is the secure notes, and searching. Notes are not always searchable, especially on desktop. I can not edit notes right away without clicking edit, which bothers me. So I was searching for a password manager that might deliver on this front, and also has all the important features, and security.
So far, I've found Codebook from Zetetic, and quite like it: It does have a simple yet good working secure notes function. Notes are searchable. All the rest seems to be secure enough and working fine. It has a free, and a paid Sync option.
What are your experiences? Did I miss any password manager that really does it all, and well?
I recently built a secure password manager called SHIELD, focused on end-to-end encryption with a zero-knowledge architecture. The idea behind it came from my own concerns about trusting default password managers. I wanted to create something where security is the highest priority and where users have full control over how their data is handled.
One of my goals was to make SHIELD as transparent as possible, so I’ve also made the source code available. I’m really keen on getting feedback and building this as a community project.
Here’s where I could really use your help:
Any reason why Proton doesn't release separate dedicated 2FA app? It's integrated into Proton Pass (Password Manager), but just like Bitwarden, LastPass etc., having standalone 2FA app from Proton would be really cool..
I had lastpass for a while then when Ashland came out I switch to it then I’m currently with Bitwarden but I’m having issues with it on iOS now with the ios18 update. I’m going back to android once my phone is paid off but I’m wanting to switch not just for security reasons but for utility purposes too. Does anyone have their suggestions for this?
Dashlane has decided to get rid of it’s budget pricing for family plan and has significantly raised it making it out of my budget now. Any recommendations on some budget offerings that includes a family plan?
Hi all,
Recently with the new iOS update including an exclusive password manager app I wondered if it's worth the money to continue paying for 1Password. I am entirely on the Apple Ecosystem. It seems the two managers are fighting when I go to create new logins. How much of a hassle is it to export your 1password passwords to apple passwords?
I recently installed a cracked version of Adobe Premiere Pro from a YouTube tutorial and downloaded a few movies from a Telegram channel. Shortly afterward, my system got hacked, though I’m not sure which of these actions led to it. Strange activity occurred across several platforms: someone posted a story on my Instagram, Facebook flagged suspicious logins, my Reddit account was accessed from various locations, and I received random Spotify and Gmail login alerts.
Previously, I relied on Google Password Manager with 2FA enabled on my Gmail accounts. In response to the breach, I panicked and switched to Bitwarden, deleted all my stored Google passwords, and updated all of them using Bitwarden's random generator. I also enabled Google Authenticator, reinstalled the operating system, and reset Chrome multiple times. Things were stable for a few days, but now I’m getting suspicious activity emails from Google every 30 minutes across several Gmail accounts. However, I don’t see any unauthorized devices logged in.
I’m unsure if my accounts are still compromised or if something else is triggering these alerts. What should I do to fully secure my accounts? I’m feeling overwhelmed and anxious.
I made a 2FA app that lets you generate time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) with the following features:
Simply enter your secret key, click "Generate," and get the current and next TOTPs instantly.
It's a lightweight solution designed for maximum security and privacy, especially useful for those who don’t want to store their secret keys in a traditional 2FA app.
You can find it on GitHub [ https://github.com/Drimiteros/VerifyGate ]
I’m currently managing a small team of 8 people, and we’ve been using LastPass where only 2 of us (the owners) had the paid version, while the rest of the team was on the free version. It worked well for us, as we could share individual passwords with the team, and when I updated a password, it automatically synced for everyone without the others needing paid accounts.
Recently, we’ve been considering switching due to security concerns with LastPass, and I’ve tried Bitwarden, but I’m running into some limitations. Specifically, Bitwarden requires all users to be on a paid plan to share passwords within an organization, and I’m not sure Bitwarden Send is ideal for long-term sharing since it doesn't update shared passwords automatically.
I’m looking for a more cost-effective solution that fits our budget. Has anyone had experience with alternatives like Keeper, 1Password, Zoho Vault, Dashlane, or others that would allow for secure password sharing, ideally with just a couple of us on paid accounts? We’re looking for something flexible but without needing to pay for all 8 team members.
Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Hello, so I'm kind of looking for a new password manager and I mainly wondering if I should use nordpass or dashlane primary, I'm open for more suggestions but those are the ones I'm most familiar with, generally just looking for something that works well on Android with consistent autofill preferably Passkey support
My family is tripping over each others shared passwords in our Lastpass account and I need to resolve this. Perfect scenario, I'd like to have separate vaults for each family member with an option to denote some logins as shared which can be seen by other members (or at a minimum default to filtering out the shared passwords, unless the individuals need to access them). I've noticed with some PW managers create a shared vault and a password can exist in either the private OR the shared vault, but not both at one time (eg, 1Password). Other allow you to share some passwords but then the exist fully inside my private vault (Dashlane). Is there any solution that does that?
Hello.
One time I tried to log into my NordPass account but it did not work. I tried log into my Nord Account with the same email and password when I tried to log into NordPass and that worked. What is even Nord Account and why could I not log into my NordPass account?
I have done a reset of my account in NordPass but according to NordPass, that does not mean I have removed my account. Also, Nord Account is different to NordPass. How do I delete and remove both my NordPass and Nord Account? I have tried for days both searching their websites for help and also email it, I don't get any good answers to my problem and their support is confusing. I have tried for several times trying to find the solution both on the ir websites but also using their support. Please help and explain it simple.
I tried posting on but the bot just continued to delete my post for some reason.
I found this https://support.nordpass.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=22343657393425 but I have not paid money for my account. I am using free trial. Or does they delete my account when my free trial has expired? Can't I delete my account before that? Does my Nord Account delete as well?
I've got an Android phone and PC and am looking for a good password manager. I tried out bitwarden and nordpass but didn't like how they don't auto save passwords on Android. U have to either manually add each one or login on pc first to auto add.
I don't use a password manager currently so no import.
Key features for me are when I login to an app or website on Android for it to auto save those logins in the vault. Same thing for any new accounts I create for app or website.
Also want a emergency access or inheritance feature so trustee can access if something happened to me.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
Guys, I'm so confused and need some adivce..
I use bitwarden and have a very secure master password, 2fa with authenticator app, all of that. Recently, I have had my outlook and steam accounts hacked, and my instagram hacked twice! I use ramdomized strong passwords stored in bitwarden. All of my accounts have 2FA. Not sms 2fa, but real authenticator app 2fa. How are people getting into my accounts and changing password AND email without me knowing when I have 2FA on everything and use a password manager???
Looking for a password manager that I can use across multiple machines but that has different categories. For example, personal and work passwords. So my work laptop would only have the work category and my personal computers would have personal and a few things would be part of both. Is that an option on anything like Bitwarden or any other managers?
Hello, I'm looking for a password management service/software for the users in a small organisation (around 100 people).
I would have used keepass but the problem is that it needs to be synced across multiple devices of different types (PC to smartphone, both iOS and Android) It also needs to be self hosted for privacy reasons. Paid solutions are not excluded
The reasoning is that if it's too annoying to use the users will simply not use it and write their passwords in excel spreadsheets / smartphone notes...
The only ones i've found so far are Bitwarden, Passbolt(wich seems to be made for IT teams rather than end users) and Vaultwarden(tho i'm worried about the long term support)
I've also thought about some sketchy solution with a .kbdx file synced using another self hosted file syncing solution but i wonder how much of a pain it would be to maintain
Do you guys have any recommendations or thoughts ?
I am trying a bunch of Passwords Managers and right now it stands between 1Password or Proton Pass, both for free. I think I am going to pay for the one I decide for. I like them both. Do you have any experiences with 1Password and Proton Pass? What do you think? Which one is the best to go for? How should I think? Please help me out. I'm new to using Password Managers. I only know that 1Password is older meanwhile Proton Pass is quite new I guess? Is that a good or bad thing? It feels like they are taking security very seriously anyways but 1Password has a lot more features it feels like. I'm so conflicted. One thing I don't like with Proton Pass is that you can't choose a field for both username and emails which I have noticed that a lot of password managers don't have. It is either email or username. 1Password has both options. Why don't a lot of managers don't have that?
