Uses Electron. What a shitshow. Edit: I checked: neither the macOS nor Windows version uses it. So it's not even that they think Electron is acceptable for high-quality desktop apps. They just don't consider Linux important enough to make a high-quality app for it.
The reasonable person inside me wants to use a password manager, yet the paranoid in my brain is terrified. I read all those texts explaining why password managers are better, yet I am still afraid. I keep thinking in attack vectors such as someone compromising the Play Store and submitting a malicious app or other similar stuff. I even have a Bitwarden account and have some passwords stored on it. I also considered…
As the joke tells, I don't have to beat the chasing bear behind me, I only need to be faster than the guy running alongside me.
After trying out 1Password, Dashlane, etc. I returned to LastPass - contrary to most of the reviews I found online, LastPass works much more smoothly with most sites and apps. The integration with iOS is much nicer. I found the gap between LastPass and everything else was sufficiently large that it was a no brainer to switch back.
I’m still occasionally frustrated with LastPass, but having seen what the alternatives are I won’t be revisiting them for a good few years.
Recently tried out every password manager as I was sick of LastPass being glitchy with some websites. I’m using OS X and iOS exclusively, with Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.

Yes I always wonder why keepassxc does not get mentioned more when password managers come up. It's really an excellent piece of software. Some of the features that are crucial for me: 1. ssh-agent support 2. Browser plugins 3. Can provide secret service (i.e. be a substitute for gnome-keyring and kwallet) 4. Excellent oss android client 5. Absolutely snappy, starts in an instant, compared to electron apps it's like d…
What Android client do you use if you don't mind me asking?

> I also considered "offline" managers like KeepassXC, but synchronization gets way worse, and there's also the issue about trusting someone else with your mobile apps. I'm using KeePassXC. Originally between three computers (Debian desktop, Debian laptop, and Microsoft laptop) where it was part of my git repo that I'd sync in between the machines as needed (git repo hosted within my own instance of gitolite, btw). I…
Also, not all hopes are lost. There is a 3-year-old ticket to add trigger system to KeePassXC: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/1016

Not knocking the project, which sounds cool, but the absolute last thing I want to self host is a password database exposed to the internet. Hard pass on that element. 1password used to have a peer to peer sync mode that I loved. No need for a server anywhere. You would open it on your Mac and then open it on your phone and if they were on the same network they would self discover. Too inconvenient, perhaps, for most…
> Not knocking the project, which sounds cool, but the absolute last thing I want to self host is a password database exposed to the internet. Hard pass on that element. I have the exact opposite feeling. I would not selfhost email but I would selfhost a password manager and my files behind WireGuard, like many have said. I have almost moved from cloud hosting to home server. This perfectly reasonable for non critica…
Let me just mention Gopass ( https://gopass.pw ) which is a brilliant terminal-based `pass`-compatible password manager ( https://www.passwordstore.org/ ). Gopass is open-source, free, and based on open standards. Meaning, you can use your keystore practically anywhere. For instance on Android with the Password Store app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.msfjarvis.... )
