Ask HN: How do you manage your passwords in 2023?

#1
I have yet to find a password management solution which is:

- secure

- easy to use

- accessible on multiple devices (home PC, work PC, and ideally phone)

I currently use a mixture of KeePassX (synced manually using SSH) and stored passwords (e.g., in my browser). But I keep thinking that there MUST be a better solution.

I still use KeePassXC and sync with cron jobs to Chroot SFTP-Only servers wrapped in a further encrypted file, then conversely use cron to pull the file to devices. I do not personally foresee ever using any of the commercial solutions. I also use this to sync bookmarks.

If KeePassXC one day becomes unmaintained I will make my own custom tool, probably using sqlite+openssl+bash. I only log into one semi-sensitive thing on my phone so I don't bother syncing to that device.

I use - and pay for - BitWarden.

It does all the things you ask for. With the paid version I can share passwords with my spouse for relatively unimportant things (like Netflix) in a reasonably secure manner.

I could self host and run it myself. But I'm not a multi-person team with decades of security engineering experience. So I gladly let someone else take on that burden.
