I don't know KeePass but it's probably solid, too. So's 1Password, NordPass and many others. The more secure we make things, the less convenient they become, and at some point that inconvenience itself becomes a sort of security risk, because it causes us to start taking shortcuts.īitwarden's solid. But they're also surely much better protected than your personal computers, even if you take them to bed with you at night.Įverything is a compromise, and in the world of digital security you're always compromising between security and convenience. The Bitwarden servers are a more attractive target I suppose. I gather you're worried about happens if a malefactor gets his hands on a hard disk that has your passwords on it, but why are you worried about that? Of course you should have a long, strong, unique password - the longer the better - but if you do, then it won't matter much whether they get access to Bitwarden's cloud servers or whether a thief or burglar carriers off your laptop.
:-)īut that having been said, What exactly are you worried about? Nothing is perfect. I trust myself enough to just have Bitwarden + a ridiculous password.If you're not paranoid, you're not paying attention. It's really up to you on how much convenience you want to trade for security. Re: the other posts saying to split into between 2 managers or keep the pass in your head It increases the level of security sure. Say your Bitwarden log in and pass were compromised, the 2FA would protect you. I assume you mean that you use 2FA to log into Bitwarden? Yes, that helps greatly. Lock the vault aggressively, keep your computer and network secured, have a strong password, etc. The biggest thing you can do is to take steps in being proactively secure. Writing the password on a sticky note next to the computer, sharing passwords, getting phished, having you computer compromised, etc. The biggest factor in security isn't the program it's the user. That someone gets a hold of your unlocked vault and has literally all of your online passwords, your email, bank logins, and the like. The encryption makes the vault useless to anyone would would try to read it (unless your Bitwarden password was really weak). Second is if they were compromised and your vault was leaked (like has happened in the past with other password managers), the vault is encrypted. Microsoft is the one who would have to be compromised. First is your encrypted vault is stored in Azure, which is a Microsoft product. Don't use a password manager if you don't trust it's security.
