Is using a password manager for your phone recommended or no?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (6 children)

As long as your phone is secure, and the manager only stores data locally, I'd say yes. I would still encourage you to have any "reset capable" accounts secured with a strong password and 2FA that is not in your PW manager.

As with all things IT, there is a tradeoff between comfort/usability and security.

Is there one password manager that is better than another? Thanks for answering.

Bitwarden is free and easy to use. They also encrypt more metadata to prevent the kind of breach that lastpass recently had (see https://community.bitwarden.com/t/lastpass-breach-and-implications-for-bitwarden/47214).

It still seems to be working fine for me, so I’m not sure what happened.

Yeah I had LastPass but obviously want to change
