Who TF isn’t using a password manager in 2025? Like how would you even function?

EDIT: Y’all need to stop replying with your password generation strategies. JFC it’s like you’re asking someone to pwn your shit.

My employer, a fortune 500, blocks password managers and all other add-ons.

My employer, a 12 people big company, nowhere near any fortune list, mandates the use of 1password for all company related accounts.

Ah but you see there's the problem, you don't have a committee to launch a working group that puts together investigative teams to research and write reports on the benefit of the solution, the ROI of the solution, the training costs of the solution, stakeholder buy in of the solution, and potential alternatives to the solution. You need at least a 10 month process before one jackass says they don't want the solution so the committee can recommend to management that the solution be abandoned.

Federal and State jobs you can’t use password managers.

[–] DaGeek247@fedia.io 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My federal job came with one pre-installed.

Depends on your clearance level/what you have access to.

Yeah idk about that. I've worked in state govt for a very long time and our cybersecurity controls essentially mandates we use one. I'm also in our security audit team and have to talk to state offices about our NIST controls regularly. And the NIST DOD controls are even more stringent than ours. Something sounds off.

Get a password manager. It's a lot more secure and easier to only have to remember one strong main password and have the rest randomly generated

FWIW, LastPass is bullshit. DYOR, and stay safe, citizens!

Also, it could be taken as a positive that BitWarden is the example Wikipedia uses to define password strength. 🤌🏼

KeePassXC, donor, and I sync it with my (self-hosted) SyncThing server.

Why would your password be *******? That seems terribly insecure.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

nobody else can see it when I type it.

Generate unique passwords using this tool, slightly modifying them to meet the requirements (special character, etc).

Store the passwords using KeePass; it is awesome, secure, and free. I've used it for nearly 20 years. Never once had a problem.

Bonus points if you use a comma for a special character, because I hear commas are a small inconvenience for hackers scraping usernames, passwords en masse. Fuck those guys.

[–] snowsuit2654@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Many (most?) password managers, including KeePass, have a feature to generate passwords directly in the tool.

Has to be 16 characters

So long as I can use more than that, I won't complain. I don't remember the service, but I definitely remember one where they wouldn't allow over a certain amount of characters and that was annoying because that was when I was still using repeat passwords back in highschool. My preferred password at the time was roughly 20 characters, but apparently that was too much because who cares about security, am I right?

Just 4 characters are enough. And it includes Cap.

For everybody commenting on passwords manager, I've been using one for years now and I feel this so bad. My company has a password policy of changing the LAPTOP's password every 8 weeks and you can't reuse any of the last 10 passwords used. I hate it because I can't use a password manager to unlock my laptop and I'm so used to password managers by now that it's getting really hard to come up with new passwords that follow the stupid requirements and even worse remembering them. I'm veeeery close to just start noting them down in a notebook by my machine and then send a picture to our security guy to show him where he has gotten us all to

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

You should do that unironically. The current best practices advises against frequent password changes for exactly that reason.

Quick question friends:

If I'm already using bitwarden and decide to switch to self-hosting it; can I import my usernames and such?

I would most likely change all the passwords, but being able to migrate the websites (with corresponding username) would be kinda nice

[–] crusty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

You should be able to export and import all your logins as a file. I did this when i moved from lastpass to bitwarden a while back

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

!!! PASSWORD TOO WEAK !!! - your password must contains upper and lowercase characters, digits and symbols except not a hyphen for some fucking reason,, and no characters you've ever used in past passwords and no digits that are in your postal code, data of birth, or shoe size. Zalgo text is acceptable.

If you don’t want to use a password manager it’s not that hard to create long passwords. Just create a nonsense sentence with a misspelling with a character between each word and add some obscure personal info that isn’t directly linked to you, like a phone number of an old childhood friend or pizza place you used to call often when you were young so it’s easy to remember but not info another person can find about you. Then add a special character.
