Curious to see how many people deal with this. When using Google Chrome I often have the wrong passwords recommended to fill in login details. An example is that I go to the SCC's Website and then my passwords for the DMV start popping up. I think Google Chrome is using the Domain/URL and if it matches at all it brings the password. This doesn't really work with sites that share a similar domain such as Government Sites. Anybody else deal with this? How do you get around it besides buying an actual password manager.

Looking to move away from last pass. And chrome won't support my current 2fa browser extension.

I don't want to have to use my phone for all my 2fa everytime I'm browsing on a laptop.

Does bitwarden have a desktop extension instead? Or do any password managers have this?

I’ve had a LastPass account for a while. News about how bad the previous breach is/was came to my attention. I had only read what LP said which was a big downplay. I’m not super technical and my wife less so. Can I move to iPhone Passwords? I’d lose the inter platform part of LP though but it would be a lot easier on Mrs. Not sure what to do about it. I’ve read through the pinned post. Seems like BitWarden is a top contender and 1Password. Thank you for your input/help.

Moving from Dashlane to....

Hi all. Hope you are all ready for the New Year! Happy New Year to all of you.

I have been dashlane premium user for the past few years. Want to make a move. Been seeing suggestions from users to others for Bit warden and 1pass.

What should I know before I jump the boat? Do they have a secure payment (save info) option? Secure notes? 2fa? Account Recovery? How to import passwords?

Anything else you want to share, especially want to hear from those who have made this jump! Thanks all

Why do you have to contact their support team for the following?

• Deleting all of my passwords
• Delete my account

I am looking for a free and open source password manager for Ubuntu, I have seen on various sites that Bitwarden is good, but apparently you cannot do 2FA for free, Proton Pass is free but has a limit on the number of passwords you can do. Proton Pass is free, but it has a limit on the number of passwords. I would prefer to have no such limit.

I don't really want to separate the password manager and 2FA apps because it would mean downloading extra apps (too many apps would be a security risk).

I see multiple users every day who get locked out because they dislike the new update. Bit-warden's new update has made users unhappy and the mods dont like it so they are locking negative posts to force their new ugly design. Time to find new alternatives.

For example, I need to log in to various web AND standalone applications on school computers, as well as at home. So far I've relied on the fact that the standalone program uses the same credentials that I already have to remember to login to Windows, and used a browser-based password manager for everything else.

I would like to switch to using something like Bitwarden to create stronger random passwords, but I need to be able to access it even when using an arbitrary public computer. Does that capability exist, maybe via a portable installation on a flash drive?

On a somewhat-related note, what about the Windows PC login itself? Is there any reasonable way to use a password manager for that on a shared school computer? Or do I just need to keep memorizing that one?

Recently got identity protection software and I'm ready to freaking scream in frustration over all the competing password managers and how to get them to play nice! The IP company says their software is more computer based and not so great with phones, but how do you tell Microsoft and Google to bugger off except on the phones? This is totally maddening and I'm too old for this shit. And I can't get the IP software to override Google or Microsoft and even when you try to turn them off, they turn themselves right back on again! Any help would be greatly appreciated for this aging Gen Z'er!!

Pretty much the title... they should be passwordless based on everything I've heard.

EDIT: by passwordless I mean they shouldn't have master passwords to secure their password vaults. There are better mechanisms available.

I do see the main comparison post, thank you.

It’s not clear - are any of these password managers free? I don’t mind ads if necessary, just really hate recurring charges.

When you have to use a fixed 4-digit PIN (no more, no less than 4 digits) for a card or app, there are only so many combinations for you to choose from. It seems impossible to create a 4-digit PIN that doesn't show up as "exposed on the dark web". This can be very alarming when you first get a report informing you that your PINs have apparently been exposed.

My understanding is that these PIN leaks are not necessarily YOUR PINs/passcodes; it's just that you might be using the same combination as those of others leaked in the past. Is there any way around this?

The very first PM I've used was from google. Half year ago, I switched to bitwarden and I've been (unfortunately) using it since.

Bitwarden has a lot of functional problems like:

• Autofill is hit or miss on android and sometimes on pc.
• Constantly need to log in via biometric or master password.
• Saving login/register information is hit or miss on pc.
• Saving login/register information does not work on android at all.

You basically have to mostly manually add those login/register information.

I know that bitwarden is the most secure PM out there, but I'm willing to compromise some security features in order to get over the issue's I'm having with it.

I was a full google ecosystem user, but I got out of it for some reasons (don't want to mention it and start a whole debate). I really liked the way the PM worked on there. So I would appreciate solid alternatives.

It has to be compatible with firefox and android. (Also sync across devices)

Thanks in advance!

I know when you share your passwords to anybody, you share a link with the information, and I know I can set the expiration time and everything else.

But I have seen that when you have a 1Password account and you open the link, it let you “Save a copy for later”. I want to know how does that work?

That mean I can a save a copy of the credentials forever? Or can I save the copy in my account just for the time set?

I've been taking a look at some password managers and websites to check some brand vs. brand (like this one from PCMag or this other one from freevpnukorg). And although I find them quite useful, I also know that these websites normally gets revenue shares or CPA for sales and stuff, so I'm not 100% sure how trustworthy they are, if it make sense. Would like to check your thoughts on these 2 in specific, Nord and Proton, since I believe they are bit more commited with the whole privacy stuff.

Do you guys have any specific suggestions? Being honestly I'm a hyper casual user, slightly concerned about my privacy, and recently starting a journey to get my stuff on the internet a bit more secure.

Hi everyone, I recently built an extension that automatically blurs your email or username on login pages for added privacy. Whether you're working in a coffee shop, library, or other public spaces, this tool can help you feel more secure while signing into your accounts.

Why did I create this?
Every time my password manager autofills my login details, I noticed that my email or username was displayed for anyone nearby to see. It made me uncomfortable, especially when working in public spaces. I wanted a simple way to keep this information private—so I built this extension.

Here is the link to the extension.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to share them—I'm always looking to improve.

Here is a link to the public GitHub code: https://github.com/burntsouup/Maskerade

Last week my girlfriend suddenly was no longer able to log into her NordPass account where obviously all her login and password information was stored. (It was no longer existing, so the recovery code didn't help.)

After email contact with customer service they informed her that they regretted that her account was accidentally deleted (by them) and they were working diligently to recover it. One day after we got that email they did recover the account, but you might imagine the stress from this was enormous. Imagine no longer being able to log into your banking and brokerage accounts etc.

I am curious whether anyone else did experience such a thing recently with NordPass? And would anyone know how this is even possible? (I would assume deleting a customer's account would require several internal approvals.) Thanks!

I manage a charity shop and we had this phone donated, it's in good condition and one of my volunteers would like to buy it but unfortunately whoever donated it didn't reset it first, it has a 6 digit passcode, no SIM. We took it to a phone shop and the technician said it's iCloud locked, what are our options?

Is there any chance apple would reset it for our charity to sell? Would it be possible to contact the person who donated it somehow? That way they could come into the shop and unlcok it/reset it, it shows the first letter of their email address and the @ but the name is starred out. Or should i just send it to a trade in site like Music Magpie etc.

Any help is appreciated, just wanted to know our options as seems like a waste to get rid of it :(

Thanks!

Hello, I didn’t know where to post it. Does anyone know how to unlock a Samsung Tab A tablet if the password is forgotten? My son hasn’t used his old tablet for too long until he forgot his password. We don’t wanna factory restart as we don’t wanna lose the photos in it. Any help is much appreciated.

Bitwarden and 1Password are the most recommended options. I already have access of Bitwarden family plan and I am searching for a personal one, you guys suggested me to use Bitwarden again. But, I don't like to use same things again.

So, here I am again, requirements are simple -

• cloud sync
• secure and privacy focused
• mobile app support.

Please, don't suggest KeePass, I can't go with it.

Comment section is open and I'm waiting for your valuable suggestions.

Thanks

What exactly happens when I change my password and then type in the new password and it says I'm wrong. Then I try to change it again and type in the same password (I am typing it right and viewing it to assure that it's right,) it says you can not use a previously used password. Has happened twice in a row with steam and I want to throw my phone across the room.

In my business, I want to be able to share passwords to employee without them being able to see the actual password. I know password managers allow secure sharing, so the PM will auto-fill the password without showing it. However, does the "Show Password" setting on some websites make this redundant, since someone can auto-fill then click that button? Are there ways around this? Thanks!

I'm looking for a new password manager and these 3 options seem the most interesting to me.

Can anyone tell me about their experience?

I like all 3 interfaces.

I have noticed that in bitwarden I unfortunately have to sync it manually almost always.

My fiancé is 31 but he struggles like a boomer with technology. Currently he is using an excel spreadsheet on his laptop to keep track of his passwords (lots of repeats). He doesn't even save them in his browser or anywhere on his phone.

I'm using 1Password, but I used Dashlane and Keeper before this. I've had problems with all of their autofills working consistently, and both 1Password and Dashlanes android apps kinda suck lol. I like trying new things so I know how to deal with it, but I think he would struggle.

He has an android. What seems to be the most user friendly in your opinion?

Thank you!

Edit: Going to give the family plan of Bitwarden a shot, can't beat that price. Thanks everyone!

Short version: I need an extension for Edge that will suggest a secure password for new accounts.

I'm setting up a PC for an older relative who is dead-set on using Windows and Microsoft Edge, but wants shared password management with their iPhone. The iCloud Passwords extension for Edge is actually working pretty well for them, except that it does not automatically suggest secure passwords during setup of new accounts. As a result, they are reusing their same old weak passwords. The desktop iCloud Passwords app can suggest a secure password, but they get frustrated with clicking back and forth between the app and the browser. Is there any extension that JUST suggests a secure password when you right-click in a password field? Obviously, I'm looking for something trustworthy that is not going to intercept the new passwords and send them to nefarious users. Thanks!
