Ask HN: Better, more secure password manager?

6 points·Immortalin··9 comments

Currently I am using mitro as my password manager, I do not know how secure it is thus I am looking for others that may be better. E.g. a more widely-used solution

According to Password Managers: Attacks and Defenses[1,2], you have two practical choices among popular options, 1Password or KeePass.

Other popular options like Lastpass, Password Safe, or browser built-ins have known flaws or happily send your credentials to arbitrary third parties.

I've been using 1Password. https://agilebits.com/onepassword

My workflow would be severely damaged without 1Password. It's really awesome, the best password manager I've seen on Mac so far.

Can't work without it. It's good to see they update regularly, and improve a lot in UX (which is good already).

Well worth the money, and I believe it has become cheaper now that they have freemium iOS app.

I switched to LastPass recently due to convienience, but I still don't feel safe using it. Just waiting for a day where there is some sort of breach and all of my passwords will be leaked.

Before that I was using KeePass, which is great to use, but it is nice having the autofill, password generating, etc in the browser for you.

Linux/Mac/Windows clients. Some number of Android apps. that are compatible with the underlying file format.

I like lastpass.

Me too.
