Is there a good, real comparison of password managers for personal use out there somewhere? I've tried looking in the past and haven't found one that isn't just ads. I've been a long time LastPass user but I'm looking to switch away.
Features I need:
* Cross-platform (iOS, macOS, Windows)
* Easy to use browser plugins (the LastPass safari plugin is awful and non-discoverable via Safari plugin search)
* Autofill in browsers (Safari and Firefox) and mobile (iOS)
* Internet-based sync (I don't really want to manage my own backend)
Nice to haves:
* Account creation detection
* TOTP
* Yubikey support
* XKCD-style password generation for passwords I want a shot at remembering
- sparselogic 5y ago1Password checks all these boxes (including nice-to-haves). Longtime satisfied user here.
- petargyurov 5y agoBitWarden ticks all of the features you need. I am not sure about all the nice-to-haves you have listed but it definitely supports your last point.
- skinnymuch 5y agoI believe 1PW has everything including nice to haves. Not sure about yubikey though.
- u2077 5y agoKeypassXC & Strongbox on iOS. Keypass has browser extensions, strongbox has autofill on iOS. Use iCloud drive as a database (windows iCloud app needs to be setup) There are occasional sync issues but I recommend keeping a local backup on each device. The combination has all of the features you mentioned including xkcd password generation & Yubikey. Only downside is that the desktop extension requires the app to be open in the background. For that, I have the app minimize to system tray so it isn’t in the task bar. Strongbox settings menus are an absolute disaster to learn, but it has extensive customization. Make sure you only give the app 32mb of memory or autofill will crash.
