Bitwarden Password Manager for Pc

Does nearly everything one would need. 3rd party certification puts it next to 1Password and others. Open source. Features & improvements added occasionally. Free if you need basic password management & sync. For most people, it’s about $10-22 annually if you need more features such as premium support or secure sharing for family / team. Working with “Organizations” & “Collections” is key to sharing encrypted records. It’s available on basically any platform, all of which sync, and if all else fails you can login via web browser. Good interaction with OS and browsers, FaceID & TouchID. Clears clipboard after 30 sec (or whatever threshold you set). Still hoping for a “local backup” option, so an encrypted backup file can be kept, just in case the main cloud database becomes corrupt. Biggest bug I’ve seen (as of April 2019) is some of the search functions are intermittently buggy in Safari (both the extension and even logged into web vault). It’s a minor issue as search works fine in iOS and MacOS X apps. Also works great in Brave Browser (Chrome). May also be related to the fact that Safari extensions library is very slow to approve updates (an Apple delay), so Safari extension is always a couple months behind. Aug 2019 also saw a bug regarding auto-syncing new items. Some users reported auto-sync to cloud was not initiating as it had before, and you had to manually sync each time you made a change. I’m hoping this gets resolved.

All I can say is WOW! Wish I had found this before I subscribed to another app. I have used several different password managers and tested just about them all. I had been using Dashlane for a few years but decided the yearly cost was just too high. So I tried RememBear which is good for a basic one but left me wanting more. I read a ton of reviews and decided to try the app. Boy was I shocked at the quality of the apps and how well they work for a small company and a free offering. Even the paid version for $10 is way cheap for what it gives you. So far everything works very slick just as good as Dashlane for a fraction of cost if any. Definitely worth giving a try if you want a great manager for free or reasonable price. Oh and importing my passwords from RememBear was super easy and quick with no mistakes in process!!

For a one man show, this app and system overall has had near parity with at least LastPass (the good parts of LastPass) since the beginning. In a rare feat these days, updates make the app better, not worse. This had iOS 12 password filling within 3 days, after a discussion with users on the feature request forum on how it should look and work. The premium subscription is a no-brainer but you can absolutely get by without it and not miss any basic functionality you’d expect from a password manager. My bug reports are always responded to almost immediately, if only to tell me it’s a duplicate of another bug he’s already working on or that I’m doing it wrong. Try getting that out of LastPass (you won’t, which is why I moved here).

Started off using passwords I could remember. Every site or app needs a password and shortly you can’t remember them all. Tried several different password managers but each had their own short comings or flaws. Found one that worked better than most, but then it was no longer supported. Each time I changed password managers, I had to spend hours inputting all my data. Found a manager that worked but didn’t sync across devices. Each time you made changes you had to go through the “Dropbox” routine. Finally came across “the app”. It seems to fit my needs and it is free. So nice that a change on one device is quickly updated to my other devices.
