KeePassX with the password field left blank and the note field containing e.g. "SSO w/ Google".
And it’s a very good suggestion. I do something similar, but instead of using a note, I just write it in the username field
I almost always use Google (out of habit, many years using android phones and gmail) so I don't have to keep track of anything, although I do admit I have two Google accounts and sometimes it's a mess to organize between both (but this is my fault, historic reasons and too lazy to fix now). To everyone worried about Google closing and not being able to login via Google... what email provider do you use? Because if Go…
Yes. I recommend KeePassXC[1] or GoKey[2].

The point is that it allows you to remember which provider you used to sign in with and you’re not having to guess whether you logged in with Google or GitHub or whatever else.

To the people using a password manager to store the fact that they used third party login, this is some of the most perplexing behavior I've seen in a while. It's like storing a photo of gold bars inside your basement safe. With almost zero extra effort, you could be in control of your own keys. You already have the entire infrastructure set up to do this and all you use it for is a glorified log book? Can someone ex…
Nowadays, I use a combination of an online password manager (one that hasn't been hacked yet, as far as I'm aware) and Rooster as a backup.

surely you can just reset your password with the same email and regain access to your account?
If I log into Acme Widgets website via “login with Google,” then I don’t necessarily have an email or password with Acme, I have a delegated (SSO) account. In many auth systems you cannot use “forgot password” to convert SSO access to username and password. You have to actually log in and change it there. But of course if Google has locked you out, you can’t log in with Google. And anyway… if Google has locked you ou…
