thank you.
The Firefox password manager can be secured with a master password that encrypts everything in your browser password store. Believe it’s pretty secure if you set this password otherwise it’s almost akin to having passwords stored in plain text.
+1 for bitwarden
It’s encrypted over Firefox Sync though, regardless of if you set a master password.
The master password is only needed if you don’t have complete physical security (or your machine is hacked)
Curious if OP was more interested in how secure the Sync feature is vs the manager itself. Sync requires trusting that Mozilla aren’t the bad guys.
I wouldn’t use any browser password manager, last time I even looked at one they were saving my passwords in plaintext!
Bitwarden, one pass, keepass, basically anything other than LastPass should be good!
It seems I’m not up-to-date. What’s wrong with LastPass?
Edit: nevermind. I just googled it. [https://www.notebookcheck.com/Ist-LastPass-noch-sicher-Experten-kritisieren-den-Passwortmanager.677484.0.html)(url) Here is an article about it (in German), for anyone else wondering.
Seems like I will have to find a way to move my vault to another password manager. I hope I can find a way of doing this safely without needing to do that manually… So I am grateful for any advice!
I moved from LastPass to Bitwarden. It was quite easy to move everything over. I’ve been using Bitwarden for several years now and have no complains. I believe Bitwarden has a guide on how to move your content from LastPass.
Edit: I use Bitwarden on both pc and mobile. No issues.
I migrated from lastpass to pass using pass-import. Worked wonders.
thank you for the rec! a small doubt even though they are in plaintext, when the hackers can’t log in aren’t they safe tho or is it easy to hack?
Most viruses now start off by scooping up all saved browser passwords automatically then sending them to a remote server. So if one of those ever goes off on your system you are at quite a risk. Especially since there are really good other options that aren’t vulnerable to that
Just bitwarden is all that’s needed to be said. Ohh, and yubikey
I use KeePassXC for some years now. Very happy with it, especially because there’s a version of it for almost every platform.
And the browser extension is great
Broswer != password manager. Will this notion please fucking die
Well it’s better than Chrome’s if you don’t sync to your account, however I’d recommend you local password manager such as keepass
I use enpass because you can choose where to store your pass db. Also, proton released their own password manager
I don’t know if Firefox’s is safe but I use and love KeePassXC:
Bitwarden open Source independently audited. Many good things.
Anyone have details on Dashlane? It’s what I use for the whole family but I have no idea if it’s secure…
I use this too but it seems like it has fallen out of favor…
If baffles me one is as tech enthousiast to be on the privacy Lemmy; but has never heard of a password manager.
On topic: Bitwarden is the way, like others have mentioned before me. It has delivered on all my needs for a manager for a couple of years now.
People learn new stuff all the time bro, no need to be a dick.
I wholeheartedly agree and support that. Hence my recommendation for Bitwarden. Somehow you lemmies can’t appreciate my sincere bafflement, constructive discussion everyone; it’s you who is the dick. Keep them downvotes coming and have a nice day.
