#72Why are Dropbox and iCloud preferable to 1Password sync?
Because they work at a standard level of abstraction (the file system) and can be replaced if necessary. I can replace Dropbox with Box or Syncthing or OwnCloud or rsync or sftp coupled with crontab or an FSEventsD monitor or whatever I want, at any time I want. 1Password's proprietary sync isn't open source and isn't open standards. It is designed to lock me into reliance on a company that has inarguably demonstrate…
My password manager works just like this!
It just monitors shared folders and keeps everything in a compressed/32k encoded XML file that you can open with a text editor.
It's 1 file per vault, but multiple people can use the same vault and all are update simultaneously.

#74Earlier quoted context omitted.
Bitwarden is just as user-hostile. They go out of their way to make it harder to own your data, when it should just be local-first vaults. Import/export is irrelevant. I want to own my data, not just be able to check out a copy whenever I want.
Curious what makes you say this. I recently started using it and it has prominent import and export functionality.

#75As stupid as it might sound, but my recommendation is a simple paper notebook. Certainly, it is less convenient; but in terms of security, one pretty much needs physical access to obtain it.
Otherwise, I think KeePass will do you just fine. I'd advice against any form of browser integration. Stick with the auto-type type feature instead. Connecting a full, decrypted password database directly to a _browser_ sounds scary.
Consider installing an add-on in your browser that changes the window title to include the page's URL. This way KeePass' window matching works a lot better.

#76MYKI has been good to me, and I recommend it.
Re: Ask HN: What password managers can you recommend?
#77I hate what 1Password has become, and how user-hostile Agile Bits are. BUT after the last bait and switch they pulled I tested _every single password manager on the market_, and the bad news is that the others are all worse. The only two I found that I liked, but sadly lacked at least one feature that we need, were Secrets [0] and Elpass [1]. I think both might fail your requirements list too. I've begrudgingly had t…
What features were missing?

#78Bitwarden. The free version does everything I need from a password manager (which is to store, sync and generate passwords); decent browser extension, decent mobile app.
I use Bitwarden, but the lack of auto type on Desktop as well as the limited selection of symbols of the password generator annoys me a lot
Re: lack of autofill (at least for the browser extension), Ctrl-Shfit-L will fill in forms with the top candidate. Not quite autofill, but I find it faster than clicking.

#79Stay away from online password managers, especially closed source ones.
Re: Ask HN: What password managers can you recommend?
#80Considering how important security is in a password manager, I don't trust any other than Bitwarden.
It's been audited [0] by external companies multiple times and both the client and the server are fully open source [1].
I know others may say that the encryption is too weak[2], but that's true for all other password managers too [3], since Argon2id is not mature enough to run as a WASM module in the browser yet (especially not on mobile).
