2023 was a record-breaking year for cybersecurity in a bad way. Ransomware payments hit a record high of $1.1 billion, which is likely to…
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I’d also put Passbolt on the list, it’s not that well known, but it’s really great. I selfhost it on my home server and I’m very happy with it.
I have used 1Password with the annual plan for years across various browsers and operating systems and have found it to be perfect for everything I need. I will definitely take a look at Proton though.
I use Passy because I like the purple UI lmao
My favorites:
1Password supports passkeys btw. With aliases via Fastmail.
1Password technically does have aliases too but it requires a fastmail.com subscription. I use it and it works quite well though.

I’ve been using Proton Pass since it launched and I think it’s really really good.
Positives:
Negatives:
Buttercup Foss is not mention and is a nice alternative
I use keepass with my database on onedrive.
Then i connect every device to said onedrive account, copy the private key manually on each device that i need to use.
I secure my databse with said private key + a passphrase.
Might not be the best setup, but i feel like with passphrase+key i am secure enough to have the db file in the cloud.
you could encrypt onedrive with cryptomator
KeePass for me. I keep my encrypted vault in my 2 factor encrypted gdrive. Get the best of both worlds. No traditional cloud that’s a target for hackers and I have passes I can share across devices.
No love for Nextcloud Passwords or Passman? Both have plugins for Nextcloud and have Android Apps.
Yes! Been using it for a long time now! Never had any (major) issues!
Snap! 😃
Pretty much in general for me now. I gave it an honest go for six years but there were at least four instances where a server upgrade required nontrivial intervention to bring it back.
Syncthing + Keepass[DX] has been solid for me.
Which one was that Passman or Nextcloud? I’ve run two instance of Nextcloud Password and one of Passman, for about the same time, with no issues.
Other people do seam to have issues running Nextcloud in general, but I’ve never had anything but PHP version stuff that is easier fixed. I love Nextcloud!
No mention of Enpass? Stores more than just passwords, can be synced locally over wifi or in the cloud without using Enpass servers.
It’s not open source and they haven’t had a security audit in a while AFAIK, I used to use it too but migrated to Proton Pass for these reasons https://discussion.enpass.io/index.php?/topic/404-security-audit/page/6/
Been using Enpass for something like a decade and it’s been perfect. One time licenses can be found on stacksocial, I think.
Any reason why Keeper isn’t on the list? Is it bad?
Same. So far it’s doing the job but I wonder if there’s some reason I should switch to one of these others?
We use it at work and im pretty happy with it.
I’ve been using 1Password for about a year now and like it a lot
Can someone explain what those password managers are doing better than Firefox?
In addition to what the others have said, with those other password managers you dont have to do much if you decide to change browsers some day.
I thought I read somewhere that the build in browser password saves are not very secure.
This was maybe 5 years ago so i am guessing they have improved it?
(I use KeepassXC)
I use the notes section alot. I can store all kinds of related info. For example on sites that still use a username to login, I can put the email I used to sign up in the notes section.
I’ll also do security questions answers here. Using a pasphrase generator for those is good. No one is going to check if your first dog’s name really was “consoling-roving-activator-earflap” and no one can find it on your over sharing grandma’s Facebook.
I’ll also attach any license keys/relevant files for software, now those stay encrypted and backed up with the database instead of in a random folder of text files.

I guess a bunch of things, as they are specialized apps:
As a personal addition, I would say that I simply want the cornerstone of my online security to be a product for a company that is specialized in doing that. I have no idea how much effort goes into the password manager from Mozilla, for example.
I’m answering your comment but I’m grateful for those who have answered. You basically have more extensive needs that I have, which makes sense.
On my side:

Yep, I know and it’s very convenient. I discovered recently that bitwarden also has integration, but requires manually provisioning an API key. Not as convenient but quite nice as well.
I need to enter passwords in lots of places that aren’t a browser.
If Firefox’s password keeper meets your needs, then I would endorse using that, for sure.
Still using KeepassXC on desktop and laptop and KeePassDX on mobile.
This is exactly my setup. How did you know? LOL.
File synchronized with Syncthing? :)
I’ve thought about it, but for now at least I just use a USB flash drive to keep the file synchronized.
I could say I know because i’m an elite haxxor but it would be a lie. I’m not even at script kiddie level.
