Password Managers
As the title suggests, does anyone actually use them and if so is there any that you recommend? I am just researching them and wondering what the opinions of others are in regards to them.

All the ones that I’ve seen want to automatically sign you in and shit. I just password protected an excel sheet that lists them all.

I didn’t realize we were talking about portability. In my home office, I have 3 computers: my personal networked pc, my personal nonnetworked pc, and my work laptop. I can only think of a handful of times over the years where I’ve needed something from my nonnetworked machine when I was out and about. I can see how that wouldn’t work for everyone though.

Edge and Chrome store your passwords and can be accessed in settings. I also just have them on a locked spreadsheet.

I've used keepass for years. Probably not the most user friendly since it doesn't integrate directly with your browser, but it is solid.

Do you all feel comfortable with the security that browsers provide for password protection?

Browsers provide acceptable security but don't provide universal application. Browsers are for storing BROWSER passwords. You can't really store non-browser related passwords in your browser.

KeePass is the way to go. Acceptable clients for every major platform including Linux.

And just so it's clear, KeePass is both an application and an encrypted password database format.
I use KeePass on Windows, KeePassXC on Mac and Linux, and Strongbox on iOS, all of which use the KeePass database format. |
