Bitwarden - Free Password Manager

I've been using BItWarden for years with absolutely no problems. That can't be said for the password manager I used prior to BW - Bitdefender - which was causing very odd problems and a security hazard that BD were quite unhelpful and rude about ("our software is bulletproof, your problem is elsewhere..." you know the drill). This was shortly before BD eliminated their free tier, so I switched to BW, the problem went away (with no changes to all the "elsewhere" parts of the system), and has worked perfectly since. A+.

what is the proof that this extension creator or the company behind its developing can't see or spy on my saved passwords list?
does it saves them internally?
No, so give me a reason to trust an extension that saves my important password online and anyone can hack my account and still them or even the same software programmer can spy on them! -

@flysimoo: Bitwarden is open source, you can audit the source code there github.com/bitwarden/ . You can also self host the server. and you can add two step login. Hope it helps you.

magictiger1983 last edited by@akeamazan: Exactly this. If anyone else comes across this and isn't sure, Bitwarden is trusted by cybersecurity professionals. Many of us urge our friends and family to use it when they ask for a recommendation. It allows you to customize the number of iterations through the encryption algorithm it uses. More is better. When Lastpass got hit, we discovered that old defaults only ran through the algorithm once, and Lastpass never automatically increased that. I did not run into that with Bitwarden. I've used it for many years myself and my wallet had the most commonly accepted minimum iterations. I do recommend increasing from the minimum since in a situation like this, it's not about being uncrackable, it's about being harder to crack than somebody else.

@opera-comments-bot I just use Opera Sync and Opera's Password Manager, it feels a lot safer and less third party / insecure to me.

Sin lugar a dudas: el mejor almacén y controlador de contraseñas. A lo largo de los años he probado muchos, desde el más que excelente KeyPass (el cual lamentablemente sin opción de almacenar y acceder a su “vault” a través de la web), hasta varios programas comerciales (todos muy buenos), pero sin poder competir con la capacidad de opciones, seguridad, ayuda, acceso a la red, ser gratuito y tranquilidad de “open source” que ofrece Bitwarden, durante todos estos años que lo estoy utilizando (y esperé muchísimo tiempo hasta hacer este comentario). Bitwarden se merecería 10 / 5 estrellas. Se agradece la excelencia.

@magictiger1983: I've been trying to use Bitwarden, but it doesn't seem to have an auto-fill feature. I keep having to go look everything up and then copy/paste. Am I missing something? That's the only thing that's stopping me from giving them my money.

Read the official documentation to find out how the Auto Fill feature works!

@wolflingdaddy Have you set up auto-fill in the settings?
I think it is off by default. -

@wolflingdaddy Awoo! Sorry, saw wolf in the name and couldn't help myself.
Autofill is disabled by default as a security measure. You can turn it on in the Bitwarden settings, but I prefer to right-click on the form field and select Bitwarden from the pop-up, go to autofill, then pick the account you want to use. I have multiple logins for things, especially emails like Gmail, so not autofilling by default saves me from having to remove the wrong login.
Wrong logins aren't the only reason to not use autofill. If you visit a malicious website, they can use code on the page to load the login page for a site, then monitor what your browser puts into that login field. They don't even have to show you that they're doing this. It lets a bad guy steal your username and password and you would never know until you lose access to your account. You may have noticed some sites changing to a two-page login process where you enter your username on the first one, then your password on the second. That helps combat this type of thing. Security is a balance between safety and convenience, so it's up to you whether or not to turn on autofill. I just want to make sure you know the risks. I hope this helps!
