It is clear that Bitwarden is the best free password manager around. But in your opinion, is it still the best among the paid ones?

Reason: I started using Bitwarden when I was younger mainly due to its negligible cost, although I always paid for the premium version to support it. Now that I'm older and have a job, I was wondering if, for a service like password managers which I consider important and which I would gladly pay for, it would be appropriate to continue with Bitwarden or there are better alternatives out there. What do you think?

I'm reading some f the posts here and it feels like there's a steep learning curve to using this and it's not intuitive like say Roboform or Nordpass. Of those two I prefer Roboform, but even with Nordpass I literally just installed the program, logged in with my Nord login and set everything up easily. It imported everything from Roboform, and any sites it detects as new it saves those logins.

Here I'm reading about how you have to set various master passwords using different types of encryption, multiple layers of security, etc. I just need to organize passwords, not to protect millions in assets.

I'm planning to move my passwords from Google Password Manager. I realize now that I should have moved sooner, as it's risky to have my passwords stored in Chrome. So far, I have narrowed my choices down to three preferred password managers: Bitwarden, Proton Pass, and 1Password. Which do you think is the best? Can you recommend any others? What has your experience been with them, and have you ever been hacked while using one?

I use Bitwarden almost 2yrs and my renewal is coming soon and I hesitate if I should do it because I see no benefit, the only thing I might miss is emergency access nothing else. yubikey i don't use, save 2fa in bitwarden never, Vote Vault Health Dashboard is useless, has no use. right now I'm testing Proton Pass but I won't move yet but I like the ease of use UI. It's not that I can't afford it, but see no benefit. Appreciate your recommendation

I have a lot of passwords on Dashlane, I've used it for over ten years and cannot afford to pay for premium. What are the pro and cons for Bitwarden? How does it compare to Dashlane? Are there any UI features that you like/want to change? What are some features that are helpful, but seldom used?

I currently don't have a password manager, I just remember it all but I don't wanna rely on memory alone.

I'm starting to have a lot of accounts for my personal life and role accounts at work, so I'm looking for a widely-supported password manager that'll work on my own Windows PC, the windows/macs at work, and the browsers on my iOS phone.

Also, I'm not sure if it is any different, but I want a password manager that will also work with downloaded PC apps and mobile apps (ie. like it's integrated with my PC's and phone's system so I can use the pw manager with the Prime Video PC app or the Netflix iOS app for example).

Would you recommend Bitwarden? More specifically its free version?

A specific use case that I wanted to get clarification on is how this password manager conflicts with the fact that I always use private mode on all devices/browsers, and I also have uBlock origin on all my browsers too. Do either of these cause conflict with Bitwarden?

Thanks!

Bonus: I guess this isn't the best place to ask for an impartial answer, but what is the best free password manager? I simply heard of Bitrwarden from a random reddit comment lol

Edit: I just bought the premium plan so feel free to share tips/advice/etc.

Newbie here, have been in the background just seeing posts here and there. Not really replying but I think I am ready to start using bitwarden BUT I’m not sure if I trust it enough to input my information for financial stuff, 401k login, bank etc.

Is anyone using this for that? I get if you don’t want to answer (I get it OPSEC)..but also when do you know if and when to trust it?

Other programs which have had breaches just makes me so hesitant

From my experience, Bitwarden and 1Password are the best password managers on the market. Though (as far as I see it) a Bitwarden has points to be approved. From your experience:

1. what are advantages of Bitwarden in comparison to 1Password (except that Bitwarden is open source, and it’s unbeatable premium price, And -

2. what would you improve in Bitwarden?

I have been using KeePassXC for a couple of months now, but its too hard to sync the passwords between my phone and my PC. So i have been thinking of switching to Bitwarden.

Is Bitwarden worth switching to? If yes, then how do i migrate my passwords from KeePassXC?

Hey reddit. We all use the internet, so we need to be taking the proper steps to stay safe. Password re-use is a huge problem and with large data breaches becoming more and more common these days, we need to protect ourselves. Nearly 4 million data records (that we know of) are stolen online everyday and chances are you've been in one of them. Using a password manager is one of the easiest things you can do to stay safe.

I'm a software architect and have worked in the credit card payment processing industry for quite some time dealing with your sensitive credit card data. Security is something I think about and work with on a daily basis. Last year I decided that there was something missing from the internet: a simple, free, open source password manager that was available on all of your devices. Sure, there are many password management applications out there, but none of them seemed to fit the bill.

After one full year of development, bitwarden has been released for free on several platforms including iOS, Android, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and the web. You can read more about bitwarden on our website, https://bitwarden.com/.

I'll be here for the rest of the day to answer your questions about bitwarden, your password practices, online security, software development, open source, or whatever. AMA!

Hello guys,

I joined Bitwarden recently and I would like you to reasure me. As a long time non-user of password manager, I tended to trust my human memory to remember my password, and in my mind, those passwords were quite challenging to guess. But then, I read a comic from XKCD and articles about how password manager are better, etc. And I decided to trust Bitwarden.

Bitwarden is so popular: it's free, open source and seems trustworthy.

The problem is that now, I have some doubt.

"If it's free, you are the product." That saying is common sense here, in the internet. So why are we trusting Bitwarden all our passwords? Because it's open source? Because everyone is parotting that it's good, it's well protected because of "idunnowhatencryptionsorcery" and good policy and ethics? What proof do we have? Some... allegations by people online we don't even know personally? What will keep Bitwarden from going insane and do something like : "You want your passwords? Haha, now pay me 100 bitcoins".

Really, I don't want to shoot at Bitwarden or any other password manager. But reassure me, please.

Thank you in advance.

Edit: thanks for your answers, I am more serene now. I'm thinking about buying a Yubikey too, but it's another problem.

I intend to use the free version of Bitwarden and would like to know what the best form of 2FA to access my vault would be.

I know hardware 2FA like YubiKey is considered the most secure, but since a free account doesn’t support that, what would be the next best option?

If it helps, I'm an iOS user.

Hello. I have been a Bitwarden user for approximately 3 years. I recently won a premium subscription to Kaspersky and saw that he has a password manager. I would like to hear some opinions regarding the safety and reliability of the service and it would be worth exchanging the free Bitwarden for Kaspersky Password Manager.

Edit: Okay, I understand that you hate Kaspersky, but I just asked one question, we don't need that many downvotes lmao

The title is self explanatory, I am looking for a solution for a small group of users (around 5), possibly cheap, if not free, that will need to access their passwords both from pc as well as from the mobile.

I did some research and found:

• Bitwarden offers a self-hosted option

• Vaultwarden also this one should be a good server option that still relies on Bitwarden clients

• KeePassXC also looks really cool

I would really appreciate your recommendations/point of views on the topic.

The app will be hosted on a Debian server.

So, I recently got more privacy consious, and downloaded BW as my first password manager. So, I was wondering if you could export the passwords from ICloud or FF, or if it has to be done manually, password by password.
