1Password with the one-time $50 software license + its local WLAN synching functionality + automatically backing up your hdd/ssd locally.

Is this still true?

As far as I can find on their website (and the reason I switched to self hosted Bitwarden) was that they switched to a subscription only model.

I'm paying $35/year but I think it's still worth it. Solid integration with my Mac and iPhone.

You can purchase a license through the app. I don't think you can get one through the website.

Yep, Bitwarden gets my vote too. I switched from LastPass (after 5 years of use) earlier this year and am very happy with it so far. Works great on all my devices (Win, Mac, Android).

Does Bitwarden work offline? I thought it needed a server to sync to
Re:Ask HN: Recommendations for a Password Manager by sethammons on Sunday July 12, 2020 @11:53AM (#23812237)
It does work offline and it does need a server to link to. It has a cached copy of your stuff, all still protected by your master password.

You can run your own locally using Docker.

Can you tell us more about your problems with LastPass?
Re:Ask HN: Recommendations for a Password Manager by replwoacause on Tuesday July 14, 2020 @08:08PM (#23839692)
No problems with the service. I just wanted to go with something open source.

I use this too. Keepass on windows, keepassxc on Linux and keepass2android on Android, with the db synced to all my devices via Nextcloud.

The db is encrypted via a passphrase plus a keyfile that I copy manually to each device (that is, it's not synced with the db).

I have a great fear of things like the Android/IOS app from the store being compromised, resulting in my passwords going to someone. Do you do anything specific to overcome such fear?
Re:Ask HN: Recommendations for a Password Manager by sethammons on Sunday July 12, 2020 @11:56AM (#23812260)
I used to do this and leveraged dropbox for syncing. At some point, dropbox limited my number of devices so I self-host bitwarden. So much better now, and my wife actually uses it.

I tried this and it fits what I need. Thank you.

Bitwarden is not offline by default - it stores you passwords in the cloud and keeps a local copy. So you can access it offline but you need online access to edit it. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/9yv32e/can_bitwa...
Re:Ask HN: Recommendations for a Password Manager by robertcope on Saturday July 11, 2020 @04:08PM (#23805448)
Sure, it depends on your definition if "offline". My guess is that most people asking for an "offline" password manager are not actually offline much of the time, but specific use cases may vary!

Keepass is nice, it's what I used before Bitwarden. It's not great at syncing across devices or sharing passwords with others, though.

+1 for Bitwarden
Re:Ask HN: Recommendations for a Password Manager by Shared404 on Saturday July 11, 2020 @07:26PM (#23807114)
I use pass [1].

It's simple, terminal based, easy to back up, and open source.

I haven't compared them recently, but gopass [0] is compatible with pass. It has a few more features that makes it nice to use with other people.

Master Password [0]

- It’s open source

- Mac App does work well (also available as CLI software)

- Possible to make backups

- Works offline (also a Webversion so you have Access to passwords on any machine with internet access)

- No account needed

How about Psono? You can host everything on your own (so I assume that would count as "offline), client side encrypted and its free and open source.

Full disclosure I am the main developer behind Psono.

I am looking for a password manager for my team as well. Keepass on a shared drive is not ideal anymore. Looking forward to seeing recommendations.
