    I want to suggest 1Password even though it’s not free (I used bitwarden for many years though). It has its own SSH agent which is a dream.

    • Belazor@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      The only problem with their SSH agent is, if you store let’s say 6 keys and the server is set to accept a maximum of 5 keys before booting you, and the correct key happens to be key number 6, you can end up being IP banned.

      This happened to me on my own server :P

      That being said, my experience was using the very first GA release of their SSH Agent, so it’s possible the problem has been sorted by now.

    BitWarden is awesome. Been using it since 2 of my colleagues went to work for them

    How is this better than Firefox built-in password manager?

    source

    • Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Firefox is extremely easy to get your password from behind the *** if it autodills. Requires physical access, but literally takes seconds. Right click the field, inspect and change the field type from password to text.

        So if my passwords are behind fingerprint there’s no problem?

  I just wanted to drop a reminder that both LastPass and Norton LifeLock were hacked within the past year alone.

    KeePass is a thing that exists and is fantastic.

    I just want to drop a reminder (to you specifically) that you don't have to use a cloud-based password manager. Roll your own.

    source

    • SomeRandomWords@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Can I discourage rolling your own password manager (like using a text doc or spreadsheet) and instead recommend what you hopefully meant, self-hosting your own password manager?

      source

      • AnonTwo@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I don't know what you're trying to say. I think it was safe to assume Salty probably meant the local-based keepass or something like that?

        I wouldn't have immediately gone to text doc or spreadsheet. those aren't password managers.

      Good advice only for tech-savvy and people who are interested in self-hosting. There’s so many things that can go wrong like improper backups and accidental networking problems.

    Use KeePassXC and you can’t get hacked

    source

    • DrQuint@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Well, you can. But you have to be PERSONALLY hacked. At which point you’re at a level of risk equal to “will I get mugged and my notebook full of passwords get lost?”

    And here’s a reminder that trusting centralized service with high security access control is usually a bad idea.

    I stay away from LastPass for the same reasons I stay away from TeamViewer. Security through obscurity on top of decoupling my security interests from others means other people being attacked is much less likely to cause me harm at the same time

    • Hexarei@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Offline password managers like KeepassXC are a thing, plus self hosted remote storage like Nextcloud means you’re not worried about any third party interference

      source

      • neatchee@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I use Pleasant Password Manager, which is keepass compatible. Big fan of offline cache with online sync for access anywhere with an internet connection or even my phone offline

  • Vash63@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    And at least for LastPass no passwords were compromised. The safes themselves are E2E encrypted so they also don’t have your password.

    That said, my vote is to Bitwarden as it’s open source and allows self hosting if you think you’re a more reliable admin than they are. Open plus more choice is always better.

      I’m just going to leave this here:

      Just this month a link was made between $35 million in crypto being stolen and the 150 victims being LastPass users.

      In 2022 Lastpass was compromised through a developer’s laptop and had customer data like emails, names, addresses, partial credit cards, website urls, and most importantly vaults stolen last year, and given they’re closed source, have no independent audits, and don’t release white papers, we have no idea how good their encryption schemes actually are nor if they have any obvious vulnerabilities.

      In 2021, users were warned their master passwords were compromised.

      In 2020 they had an issue with the browser extension not using the Windows Data Protection API and just saving the master password to a local file.

      What will 2024 bring for LastPass? They were hacked, and there’s no reason to think they won’t see more breaches of confidential customer information and even passwords in the future. This is a repeated pattern, and I’d better trust a post-it-note on my monitor for security than LastPass at this point.

      This is true, but they have your encrypted vault, and all the technical data to make unlimited informed attempts at cracking it. If you used LastPass, you definitely need to be changing passwords for your critical services at a minimum.

  One vote for 1Password here.

    I literally trust them with my life. Agreed.
