Bit warden password manager?

[aidan.f]

I'm thinking of changing to Bit warden. Any experience/recommendations please?

[neilrj]

I use it, it works.

W10 and android (yes I'm a pauper)

Bitwarden is the only password manager I would trust, because it is open source.

It is used in the workplace with no major problems.

I swapped from lastpass due to them reducing functionality to force payment.

Bitwarden works better for me, plus I can share passwords with Mrs TC.

And - as pointed out by Afasoas - open source.

It’s not the only open source password manager. For example KeePass

I've found Keepass good. Not used Bit Warden.

I’m using bitwarden on my personal pc, in a browser on Linux. It does the job, and 2fa is a reassuring touch, though not as slick as 1password on my Mac, but work pay for that.

I trust both bitwarden and keepass. I like the integration between Firefox and Keepass but it doesn't look like it'll stay free for long.

KeePass is great and it is what I use because whenever I need my password database, I crack out a laptop, VPN into home and mount my NFS shares. Because of what I do, it's security over convenience.
There are other solutions that work with KeePass, like KeeWeb - but last time I checked it offered read only access to the Keepass database via the browser.

If you want passwords on the go - convenience over security, BitWarden is a better choice.

Would it be better to have both Keepas and bitwarden?

Getting the passwords from lastpass was a pain and took a few goes.

[drossall]

Not sure of a benefit. Either they both have the same passwords, and you have to update both, or they have different passwords or aren't in step.

What's more, in so far as there is a risk of either being cracked (as happened with LastPass), you're just giving two alternative systems to crack, so you're actually achieving less security overall.

By all means try both and choose one, of course.

You just have to have a pass phrase (not a word or stupid b1l1l%cks?) for KeePass that you can remember.   You can of course open KeePass using the key file option, in which case you don’t need to remember a phrase, just the location of the key file (which may be on an encrypted drive or usb stick tied to your windows / Linux / Mac user account etc).

FWIW Bitwarden web GUI can be set up for two step authentication, trusted devices password only.

So what do you do when you forget your bitwarden master password, apart from delete and start again?

[drossall]

With Keepass, I get it back from my wife's password manager, which happens not to be Keepass. We'd both have to forget our master passwords at the same time in order to lose access.

Go Doh, should have written it down.

Though I did.
