I'm tired of writing down my passwords. I want something quick. Is it safe to use a pass manager?
>>

If the inconvenience of writing them down is causing you to use weak passwords, or to reuse passwords, then yes a password manager is safer than what you're currently doing.
>>
>>108819053
Bitwarden or Keepassxc if you zero connections, but you will not have syncing.
>>
Just fucking use it. I've been using bitwarden for years and never had a problem. Then again I'm not a retard that gets viruses or keyloggers. As long as you don't have those issues you should be fine.
>>
Use the password manager for everday sites and write down passwords for very important shit.

holy kek. people do this?
>I want something quick.
Use KeePassXC
>Is it safe to use a pass manager?
It's better than whatever dumb boomer shit you're doing. Can't imagine needing to pull out a notebook to look up a password when my PW manager can autofill everything for me instantly.

Syncthing works well
>>
I use keepass. Keep few copies of the database locally.
>>
I use the one which came with my macbook and iphone, GG losers
>>
>>108819053
I'd use KeepassXC with Syncthing or pass with git over Bitwarden. Bitwarden's very popular so it's a big target whereas your specific Syncthing folder isn't.
>>
Just host your own instance

>one complex password
>mix the name of the service or site into the above password
there, done. just try to avoid "mixing" them together in the same way each time.
Similar to the way you do custom email address for each site so you know who passes on your contact details (facebook.anon@blah.net, grindr.anon@blah.net and so on)
>>
>>108821675
I'd say having a master password that's physically written down and maybe 5-10 pages long to access all of your passwords contained in a single encrypted file is a good idea.
>>
>>108822703
I started making mine random so someone can't enumerate them. So instead of amazon@mydomain.com, I now do either amazon.redbat@mydomain.com or simply redwombat281@mydomain.com

Makes it hard for an adversary to attempt to reset passwords or social engineer because the domain is consistent but not the address pattern.
>>
I'm looking into self-hosting Vaultwarden but I've got to learn more about how reverse proxies work (I understand the principle from the local side but configuring the DNS side and subdomain when used in conjunction with DDNS for my primary domain name is something that I'm not finding a lot of explanation on).
>>
Keep Ass XC has never let me down
>>
>>108823023
You use ddns so that your A records get updated when your residential ip changes? How does a reverse proxy fit in there, or are you looking to move to a reverse proxy?

If just mapping residential ip to an A record, you could just update the subdomain at the same time, right?
>>
>>108823083
You'd use a reverse proxy if you have multiple sites set up, plus for some reason more and more services are bitching out on SSL and requiring a reverse proxy to sit in front of them
Just use caddy and be done with it
>>
>>108823162
Yes. That I understand. I'm asking the GP what their setup is because I couldn't understand it from their post.

I use a nginx reverse proxy $6/month vps as my static ip, which has a wireguard tunnel to the computer in my closet which does the actual computing.

This allows me to have many domains and different services set up. I have plex, several websites, and have run valheim servers through it in the past. Certs free from let's encrypt.

ive used bitwarden for almost a decade and have been fine
