MODERATORS
Friendly reminder: If you haven't diversified your passwords yet, get a password manger and do it!
Its not an if someone gets hacks, its when.
I don't know if this hack included any user and password, but if it did, they will try the combo on other sites.
KeePassXC, works great but you are responsible for your own file and syncing it between devices. (I use syncthing, but a cloud drive is a viable sync method, its all encyptyed) (iOS options limited)
Bitwarden, great if you don't want to worry about the file and everything syncs on its own. (There is a self hosted version, if you prefer).
Avoid anything paid or tied to a major corporation, they have proven time and again they cn not be trusted to keep our data safe.
I’m using 1Password and have been happy using it. Any reason not to use it, aside from not being open source?
For something that literally holds all your credentials, just it being closed source should be enough of a concern.
