  • I couldn’t live without one these days. I personally use Bitwarden. I have tried most of the other manager suggested in this thread. They each their own benefits. I would recommend one of the hosted services for most people (1password, Bitwarden, not LastPass). I came to prefer Bitwarden for their combination of features and openness. I have self hosted it in the past, but these days just use their hosted service.

    There are a lot of side benefits to using one besides just remembering your usernames and passwords for you too.

    • It lets you use catch-all emails if you have your own email domain
      • allows you to give services their own address to track abuse
      • makes you more resistant to someone taking your leaked credentials from one site and using it for another
      • easier spam filtering
    • Most password managers support random password generation
    • Saving things that aren’t logins
      • Family member’s SSNs and DL numbers
      • Credit cards
      • Wifi passwords
      • Gate codes
    • Sharing always up to date passwords and other secrets with people (for hosted options)
    • 2FA is easier
