Password Managers

If you use an online password manager or anything not open source you still have to trust them.
You still have to simply trust open source.
Can you read all the code and know that their encryption is valid? That there are no exploitable bugs?

True, but it a lot easier to put more trust in something that is completely transparent and can be verified by independent sources.

Yeah, that's what makes it my top choice today, I think.

People that are using bitwarden, are you self-hosting?

No, but it is on our radar to consider soon as we keep growing and it becomes more important, and more cost effective, once you get to any size.

Interesting. Is it self-hosted? Do you know the reason for the move?
-
Yet another +1 for using Bitwarden and not self-hosting. I actually did self-host it for a bit a couple of years ago, but changed my mind and moved to their hosted service.
-
@Pete-S I have no idea why they moved. I guess the higher ups want to migrate? Cost I think is about the same. We are not self hosted only 15 users so far

Bitwarden for home, and Dashlane at work currently

So I have been using BitWarden since this conversation started. I have to say I like it. I think I am ready to remove all the saved passwords from Edge and Chrome. Would this be the next step?
It's a wee bit scary. But BitWarden does claim to have the same number of passwords as my Edge and Chrome, and the BitWarden password tool is working!

Then, when you run into that one obscure site that you can't remember the password to, you can just use Bitwarden for it after doing the forgot password.

@dafyre Bitwarden has been great here we migrated the whole company over to using it and forced password changes on the coupel external sites we control. So far no issues.
