#32I use pass[0], which is essentially just a wrapper on top of Git and GPG. All your secrets are stored in text files that are then encrypted by your GPG key, which is then tracked in a Git repo that you can store anywhere. I use the PassFF extension[1] for Firefox, and Password Store for Android[2]. There are plenty of pass-compatible clients for all platforms and extensions for pass on the first site. If I need to ge…
I use pass as well, along with a dmenu/rofi script.

You make it sound custom, so I wonder if you know that pass's source repository and at least Archlinux's package includes passmenu which lets you access your passwords with dmenu.

#331passwordx nowadays is actually better than my 1password OSX experience. You should try it. I'm slowly moving myself off of OSX over to manjaro and I was shocked at how good 1px worked. It's more "the full app" than it is a "mini mini" like I assumed it'd be, but admittedly I haven't used it for a full 8 hour work day yet so maybe I'll have complaints in a few months. I cannot wait to finally get off of 1password com…
Funny enough, I just saw a blog post saying that the 1px does give some nice benefits:

Plus as it's based on the tried and trusted GPG, it can be secured with a hardware token like a Yubikey

#36I'm using Keeweb with Dropbox, it's nice enough and accessible on my other devices.

#37I use Bitwarden on Linux, macOS, and iOS. It works fine; you may need to sync by clicking a button, and I use AppImages on Linux and I think I need to manually download updated images, but otherwise it's free and open source, the pricing reflects hosting and development costs. I think Bitwarden also supports 2FA.
I tried 1Password and switched halfway to Bitwarden; I think there's a quant firm that reviewed password managers and recommended Bitwarden, which I trusted more than those consumer-grade sites.

#38I quite like keepassx. Sync's with a dropbox file and I can use it across all my devices. It's not that fancy but has done the job for years on my systems.
I've used KeePassX + Dropbox for 5 years across Windows, Linux, OSX, iPhone and Android. With Dropbox's restriction to 3 devices, and since this is the only thing I use Dropbox for, I'm currently looking at LastPass instead

#39I use lastpass. It's very reliable, I can use Duo 2FA with it, works perfectly on OSX/Windows as well, AND they have an open source [CLI](https://github.com/lastpass/lastpass-cli) for linux that's blazing fast to use. Wasn't super popular here b/c of the parent company, but their security seems to be great and it "just works".
Re: Ask HN: Password manager with best experience on Linux?
#40Honest question: why doesn’t everyone just use hash functions for passwords. Generating a Base64 string from a secret salt + the website name sounds ideal. This is what I do, and it works very well.
For one, you only get a single password per site, so you can't rotate them, or have multiple accounts unless you add the account name to the inputs.
Secondly, different sites have different requirements, so your generated passwords might not work everywhere.
Finally, a password manager lets you store more than just a password for each site, and it can let you store passwords and secrets for things other than websites.
