What's the current reliable password manager?

for one user, one machine. nothing fancy. just something that I can store passwords in. I've heard freakout problems about a lot of different ones.

EDIT : I'm on debian. 13.

why this and not keepass2?

I prefer keypass xc for it's updated UI and better Linux compatibility. I agree with what this video author says too...

Keepass is fine I guess. If you don't ñeed or want access anywhere else, can't imagine why you'd need Bitwarden or ProtonPass.

Keepass plus the file sync/cloud of your choice means you can access everywhere, it doesn't limit you.

easy to start working with, thank you.

I've used pass for a few years now: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pass

cli runs in terminal, you can run 'pass - c' to copy a password to your clipboard, and it has extensions for most things.

(Optional: You can also extend it to multiple machines/phones later by using an encrypted git repository)

I use Vaultwarden, but I need my stuff synced between my computer and phone, so it might be a bit much for your use case.

i use syncthing for syncing my keepass files

Since Bitwarden is preparing to sell out I moved to AliasVault, they also have a nice email alias service that is a godsend.

I use :X in vim with blowfish.

naeap@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 80d (1 reply)

I do know about :x to save and exit, is :X really to encrypt?

How does this work?

And how to you sync through devices and use it on e.g. a smartphone?

Or was this a joke that flew over my head?

Edit: for everybody else who didn't ever use that feature (and I've used vim as an IDE for some years), here you go

Password Safe and Manager is what i use on my phone for years now. i trust it because it only stores data on your device. not sure if it runs on linux

Your brain with a reasonably complex password-building recipe. It's secure and you'll never lose your passwords until you reach dementia age.

except these are random ass passwords from someone else to their systems, so I need a password manager

ExtremeDullard@piefed.social · 5 pts · 80d

Fair enough.

Wanna bet that if a couple of your passwords get leaked, anyone targeting you can easily figure out the rest?
