I personally love proton pass’s frontend app, but i don’t wanna host my data on proton’s servers(personal reasons). Is there any other password managers that support iOS, android, and browser extension, that is as good. (I tried bitwarden wasn’t good cuz on mobile I had to reenter master pass over and over. I tried keypassxc, but the frontend sucks and dealing with syncing between devices is a pain in the ass.) I appreciate everyone’s help!

For me, I’m extra paranoid… Someone can forcefully unlock with biometric
You can set a pin as an alternative. Pin would be easier to brute force but no different to a password when forcefully unlocked by coersion.
there’s the lockdown or similar feature at the phone level in Android and iOS
if you’re in a situation where you don’t want someone to access Bitwarden, then you probably also want to stop them from using your browser with all the cookies and logins it currently has
so temporarily block all biometric access on your phone in such cases, and merrily enjoy biometric access when you’re physically safe again
on Android, it’s Power + Volume-Up, then Lockdown

Setup fingerprint unlock and enable it in Bitwarden.
If your main concern is usability, 1password works pretty well. The downsides are it’s paid, closed source, and I think they removed the option to use a local vault, so it might have to be cloud.
I’ll check it out. If it’s cheap I might be willing to try it. Its not like proton is FOSS.

Use bitwarden, go to Settings -> account security -> unlock with pin and turn it on. If it’s already on, toggle it off then on. You will be prompted to set your pin. Dont forget your master password.
I wont :) I should give bitwarden another try.
After you eventually settle on bitwarden, rotate all passwords and uninstall or clear out the contents of other password managers. From your replies in this thread it seems like you’ve used many different managers.
I’ve switched 5 times in one day
Whats wrong with keepass. I’v been syncing with syncthing for years now. I still don’t know why frontend matters is not like you will use it every 10 minutes
Idk it was so bad it was annoying me, when I tried. Maybe I should force myself to use for a month, and see the results.
I get to keep the ass? I should switch to that.
KeePassium on iOS and the .kdbx-files in your iCloud for sync? Strongbox for macOS.
I don’t wanna be reliant on icloud. Also keepassxc web ui sucks ass.
Ive found pencil/pen and paper and memorization work (ive been got by a bad download they cant scrape the paper) its old school but its pretty good not all eggs in one basket kind of thing
Good luck, but I still recommend encrypted offline strong passwords
All good until your house burns down/floods or something.
Dizzyam. nice call. i didnt think of that. Those could be a problem but the pass words a quick grab away so if im alive they ok(flood would be worst clothes get wet. Fire im out the window) ill put them in zip locks.
If they are serious passwords, look at putting them in a fireproof bag.
Otherwise, what happens if something happens when you are out?
Nice Thank you this is good thinking
Doesn’t have to be your main copy (those bags are annoying to use). But put a copy in there at least (and keep it up to date with the important ones)
DON’T put the paper in a plastic organiser etc, plastic melts/burns at lower temperature so can ruin them even if the bag would have otherwise been able to protect them.
Thank you. this has brought me to a realization if i don’t use it enough to memorize its password ill just delete the account(i mean “delete” by let a potential flood or fire have its way. i know my emails passwords by heart so the others can be recovered if needed). Alot of stuff is nice but most isnt necessary to have the necessary i use enough to memorize its password.
KeePassXC. I think you can install client on every OS.
KeepassXC
I use ExpressVPN and their PW manager. I love it. It also has 2fa keys. Super dynamic and has worked on a few different phones I’ve had as well as browsers (Vivaldi, brave, etc)
I wouldn’t trust any of those vpns that do a shit ton of youtube sponsors. You should try mullvad.
not aware of youtube sponsorships or why that would matter. I’ve used it for like 4 years now and have had no problems.
