What Password Manager are you Using?

[Divaksh]

Using Bitwarden for years, now will be shifting to vaultwarden(self hosted bitwarden).

It suits my risk appetite. I did not say it is for everyone.
Moreover, it involves very little additional effort. All devices which connect to my home network access the shared DB in NAS. Keepass automatically syncs from multiple connections. Only the one in my mobile, needs a manual sync-up periodically.

For me its the advantage of having access to my password manager even when im offline, i think bitwarden stores it locally but i believe you cannot add new entries until you are online, which also means that if bitwarden is down for any reason, i cant add new entries.
And for syncing i use syncthing.

Fair and fair. I haven't considered the point about adding offline entries before.

Folks using keepass, how do you keep the database synced between all your devices?

I currently use syncthing, but it only works on my LAN.

Thinking of setting up a private self hosted git repository, but it needs to be manually pulled in every device to sync.
I wonder if an automated solution exists.

syncthing works even when not on LAN, u might have to enable global discovery and NAT Traversal if it's not already enabled. Another alternative is using wireguard to set up a virtual LAN network. If a conflict does occur you can always use the merge functionality. And if you have a device almost always turned on, i would say keep backups in the worst case that something that happens?

Dashlane has had a couple of security breaches in the past iirc. And when it comes to something so critical as a password manager, I am not taking chances with anything proprietary. Open source, E2E encryption is a must. The bigger the open source project, the better.

Well I agree, I heard that they got breached few years back, Idk if actual user data was lost or not.. But the convenience keeps me from switching.. Can u comment on keeper security, I do have access to a plan, I may switch to it if its good.. Also can u comment on some other options like nordpass/lastpass etc, Even though I've used lastpass in the past, I am willing to give it a try if they've improved..

Thanks! after some digging I found out my firewall was blocking syncthing. I added an exception to it and syncing works over the internet now.

I have never used any of the password managers you mentioned. I They are not open source, so unless they have a really great track record and are frequently audited, that's a deal breaker for me. That rules out Nordpass and Lastpass, not sure about Keeper. Here's a list of recommendations from PrivacyGuides that's very solid: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/passwords/
