Password managers? Crowdsourcing the wisdom of DW/LJ.

[raincitygirl]

So, password managers? I keep reading news articles about how they’re a good thing, and a LOT safer than writing all your passwords down. I write them down in code, but I have no illusions my code is uncrackable. So I should probably get one.

Which is the best? And are all the journalists right that password managers are actually safe? Because it seems counter-intuitive to put all your passwords in one place and then hope that one place doesn’t get hacked.

I have two Bitwarden accounts, one for work and one personal, and I've been very happy with them. UCSD specifically recommends that their employees use a password manager for extra security. I actually got a paid account for my personal one, because it gives you some extra features like letting you designate an emergency contact.

I used to have LastPass, bu they got bought out by some other company and hiked up their prices, so I dropped hem. And Bitwarden gave me an option to import everything I had saved in LastPass, so that worked out well.
