I was a 1Password customer before, but work pays for a family plan now, so it makes too much sense.

#42Huge fan of 1Password.
Used it personally for nearly a decade and introduced it at work. Happy 1Password Business users and that gives all our employees free personal accounts (that we can’t see or touch) as an added benefit.

#45Jumped to KeePassXC (for Linux) + KeePassDX (for Android) after the latest LP fiasco, syncing the databse with Syncthing everywhere it's needed.
It's... fine, actually! And it all being open-source and using an open/documented/versioned database format decreases risks, also the browser extension is perfectly serviceable (certainly not worse than LP's abortion).
In short, I have absolutely no idea why I haven't made the jump long ago.

#46Default macOS/iOS password manager. Chrome doesn't use it, but everything else does.
Yes I’ve moved to this from Dashlane, it’s much better and integrates flawlessly with all my devices. Why do I need another piece of software when the MacOS default is so good?
Does it support notes, attachments, etc.? Last time I checked it didn’t seem to, which makes it unviable if you use those features in your password manager.

#47KeepassXC for password management and Syncthing for syncing across devices. Everything I'd available offline and syncs on network availability. Working well for years now.
I use keepass with gdrive, works even fine on linux via rclone and is very easy to setup

#48I roll my own. I use emacs on an encrypted password file stored on my local PC.
How do you keep the password file encrypted on file write and file open? Do you decrypt to the file system to a temp file first?
Thank you

My setup too. However, this year I would like to give a go to self hosted Bitwarden in a RaspberryPi. Just for the satisfaction of it.
Just commented about my setup here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34207417 :D.
Definitely worth the slight effort, for all the gains.

#50I memorize all my passwords; they’re different but they all follow a similar format, so it’s not difficult to keep them all straight. There’s a couple variants of the format that I can cycle through when I need to change a password. The format involves the name of the service and a “salt” string, as well as some special character and uppercase/lowercase patterns. It’s quite nice to be able to keep everything in my head without needing to worry about a password manager!
