WagnasT@iusearchlinux.fyitoSysadmin@lemmy.ml•recommendations for personal and family password management?

1 year agoIt’s going to come down to how much you trust the provider but I’d say bitwarden is pretty solid. I use it for stuff I’m not particularly concerned about (like disney+ or some random forum) and I use keepass for stuff that would be particularly bad if it was compromised like banking credentials, I keep backups of my keepass DB on separate physical media.
I also use a completely separate bitwarden account for all of my work accounts, keep that stuff separated, I only log into it from work devices and I never log into personal accounts from work devices.
I could do that but I only have a couple of things in keepass so it’s easy to manage and backups are not very frequent. Bitwarden has EVERYTHING else and syncs across all my devices, if all that stuff was in keepass it would get combersome to generate backups every time I create a new entry or change a password. I could use nextcloud or something to sync the backup files but honestly this has worked well for me. I just setup keepass basically once, create a backup somewhere else, then use bitwarden for everything else.
Alternatively, plenty of people trust bitwarden completely. Honesty I’d trust bitwarden more than a self hosted solution that I’ll likely neglect and probably fail to keep up with best practices because I barely got it working in the first place, also screw ISPs that use CGNAT, it’s 2023, give me an ipv6 address already.
