Bitwarden all day every day. I don’t even know any of my passwords because they’re all randomly generated. Try to guess my password now hacker man
I use Bitwarden!! It’s great cause I have a long complicated password to access the vault (my phone will do it by fingerprint though) but it’s the only password I need to actually memorize. Don’t know how someone can be secure without one nowadays, way too many services
I use it too but honestly I find it annoying to use the collections and a lot of the UI. I just want something basic where I can fingerprint/pin access my passwords and a basic search function.
Think I’m still on keepassxc but looking to change. Bitwarden is looking good.
Do you selfhost?
I used to, and it was a fairly easy process. I eventually just decided to use Bitwarden’s own servers because I didn’t trust myself to not lose all my passwords while self hosting
Is there a legitimate reason to use 20 characters over 16? Genuinely asking. Bitwarden considers them both “strong”, taking centuries to crack.
There’s realistically no reason not to generate the max password. The different in possibilities between a password with 16 characters and one with 20 (using a-zA-Z0-9!@#$%^&*()?-+." which isn’t even all the options) is 1.2E30 v s 4.13E37. That’s seven orders of magnitude from 4 characters. The difference between $1 and $10,000,000. But to be fair, 1.2E30 possible combinations is kind of a lot already, but why not add a few more characters just for the hell of it?
Well the more characters you have the higher the entropy of the password and the harder it would be to crack. So when you don’t have to remember the password yourself there’s no reason not to use a very long password if the service you’re using allows it.
When possible I use passphrases with numbers added. Sadly my bank has a 16 character limit.
Same, just gotta watch out for sites that don’t support it and don’t tell you that they don’t. I got into a password reset loop with a site once, until I realized it was truncating my 20 character password to their supported max of 16. They never said the max was 16, and never game an error that 20 wasn’t allowed. Just simply an asshole design. I probably could check bitwarden for whatever password I changed the most and see if it’s still an issue with the site.
