What’s the Best Password Manager in 2023?
Рет қаралды 26,263
Күн бұрын☝️ The best password manager is the password manager you'll use (within reason, of course).
☝️ The best password manager for you
There are several good password management alternatives available today. I happen to use and recommend 1Password, but tools like BitWarden, KeePass, Dashlane, and RoboForm are all worthy alternatives. Which is “best” becomes a matter of personal preference based on functionalities, platforms, ease of use, and cost. More important than which you pick is that you pick and use a password manager to enable the highest level of security with strong, unique passwords you don’t need to remember yourself.

Keepass is dead easy to set up and if you keep the master p/w on a dedicated USB stick when you start it you just point to that to open it. Great video as usual, Leo.

I know most of what you mentioned were stand alone programs but at the end you did mention about the use of any reliable one is good. I use a security suite so I use the one in that suite. I do not use edge or windows for any of that, I do on occasion run the windows security though. My go to for years is Symantec, however sometimes now they can be a bit much or bloated. But still don't put 100% trust in any of them. Symantec or Norton may not be the best some even hate it, but it seems to work for me. I have tried others but always fall back to Norton, as I said been using it since the early years. With all the tools out there there are some that I put to use when needed. Like Malware bytes and another (can't think of the name right now) total something I think. This one is used to check files over all security programs, pretty cool tool. I don't quite use as much as I probably should more often but I do use them. The take away is always be on gaurd, pay attention, question everything and of course backup, backup, backup. Always have a plan of action ready when things go wrong, because they will. Thank you Leo!

I've used Norton since the late 90s (?). Lately though, ever since they got bought by LifeLock their up-selling has become tiresome. I'm still sticking with Norton because over all these years I've found their customer service better than the other crowd.

The one thing I like about Bitwarden, which LastPass also offered, was the re-prompt of the master password on any item in the vault. Does 1Password have this feature?

Hey Leo! Been in and out of your newsletter for 15 years and am a big fan. But I am curious on this issue. Given the LastPass hack, and the fact that presumably the data they kept was encrypted, why should I pick another cloud-based provider who can also be hacked? I am guessing this is a risk/hassle tradeoff from your perspective perhaps? I use Keepass because it stores all my data on my client machine, which adds a little bit of hassle between machines (and my phone), although the data file can be copied onto other machines and even my iPhone (with a little more nuisance factor on the phone). So I am choosing high security with more nuisance over some lesser level (although admittedly not way less... :). Is that the tradeoff you are thinking about or is there another lens to consider? Thanks for all of your work! Jim

Not all the data was encrypted (URLs for example were not). Bottom line: they've lost my trust. I have other articles and videos on the issue.

I’m having a hard time finding a password manager that lets you easily give access to heirs when you pass away. For 1password, you share your master key or print out the emergency kit and give it to them. Other digital estate planning services like goodwill allow for trusted people to get access after assigning them and showing proof of death. Any password managers that have a good solution to easily transition it when passing?
@askleonotenboom 9 ай бұрын
BitWarden has a reasonable approach. You designate certain people (email addresses) as being authorized to request access. When they request access you're given a period of time to deny it. If you're not around they eventually get it.

@@askleonotenboom I think maybe ? he was asking should you be changing all your passwords every so often. That is if you for example, have a password for Amazon do you use the same Amazon password for the next 20 years or change it every six months to a new Amazon password. Or maybe even how often for the 1Password one.

@christianbarnay2499 10 ай бұрын
@@askleonotenboom Unless you personally insulted a mafia lord, physically stolen password from a decent safe is a non-issue. Bad people who have the skills and resources to come to your home and open your safe make way better income with less hassle in online fraud. So they won't come to your home as long as there are enough easy targets lying around the Internet. A well insulated case and fire resistant support will easily mitigate fire risk.
@christianbarnay2499 10 ай бұрын
Also physical attack leaves physical proof of wrongdoing, which in turn is a huge help for being informed of the situation and dealing with it before it becomes unrecoverable. While a successful cloud attack can go unnoticed and/or unannounced for years.

It's not "the convenience of a service that makes all your passwords available across all the platforms you use" OR "choose where the database gets stored". You can have BOTH with minimal effort.
