@kushal Any reasons the 'No' want to share?
@Hippolyte @kushal there is no actual need to trust your passwords security on an external service/providers, use an encrypted cryptsetup usb and file-managed keys encrypted using gpg with a master password, or multiple master passwords (for more security)
@nitox @Hippolyte @kushal
Or use Keepass or similar FOSS software. Its simple, encrypted and Free.
@Hippolyte @nitox @kushal that answer was meant for Nitox. Sorry to tag you in.
@Hippolyte @kushal on this particular issue, I rely and trust only my brain
@Hippolyte most people never heard about password manager
@kushal been a KeePass user for long
@sivas Now upgrade to KeePassXC
@kushal yes already using xc
@kushal yes, but I use an hardware one called mooltipass
@kushal I have been using dashlane for many yrs now it works great
@kushal Bitwarden
@kushal since 10 years
@kushal gopass (pass), with a self hosted repo. Not for the regular user, but it's quite amazing stuff.
@kushal Alternatives to Cloud Passmanagers!
1. Keepass
2. Bitwarden Selfhosted
@kushal Keepassxc on both Linux and Windows
i suggest using keepassxc ( https://keepassxc.org/ ) - it is hosted completly local on your filesystem and open source.
if you want something online for easier use, i suggest using passman for nextcloud. nextcloud is an open source, self hosted cloud interface.
@kushal Hopefully all answer YES! Look no further than https://www.keepassxc.org to bolster your #privacy and #security.
@theprivacyfoundation @kushal And for Android, I can recommend KeePass DX :)
@kushal i use firefox lockwise
@kushal hey
Iโm a new mastodonian here and I would highly appreciate if you can boost my posts. :)
This way we can help each other
I would love to grow here more.
@kushal this is not a polite question..!
it's like asking 'do you use underwear..?'
@ioy Look at the answer, and then think why did I ask? 40% of those 906 people don't use password managers. We have to help them to learn and use it in daily life.
@kushal
I totally agree, yet it needs to be done in a secure, anonymous way.
@ioy Nothing is wrong in saying I use a password manager.
@kushal yep, pass!
I use also use Pass (passwordstore.org) with a git repo. I chose it over Keepass as it doesn't open all password every time the database is open but just the one I need at the time. It is also decentralized and super portable as it only need GnuPG-support. On phone I use the app Password Store that can be found on F-droid.
@kushal command line 'pass' + 'pass-otp' and it's android port, 'Password Store'
@kushal Bitwarden
@kushal Loosely defining a password manager as a script that decrypts an encrypted password file and brings it up in an editor.
@kushal wow, that result was unexpected
@kushal I thought that perhaps 7% would have voted yes and perhaps 30% would have voted 'What is that?', instead almost 4 of 5 people voted that they're using a password manager. I blame the Mastodon bubble of tech-people.
@kushal ah wait now it updated from 300 votes to 1200 votes and the numbers got a bit more reasonable, but still very high Yes and mega low that someone doesn't know what it is.
@jeena mostly because the early adapters here are with FOSS background
@kushal I'll give a talk about cloudless password manager some day early next year in Gothenburg at https://foss-gbg.se where I'll describe my setup with KeePassXC and Syncthing.
@kushal I use Bitwarden and KeePass!
@kushal You have a blue tick.. how you got it??
@kushal hmm yours is not green
@kavitha129 click on my profile, you will find the green tick beside my website.
@kushal hmm
then the blue??
@kavitha129 Please read the blog post first.
@kushal i read it
sorry i'am little bit slow in understanding
So you got verified by mastodon too??
@kushal Bitwarden_rs !
