What do you use for password management?

[Chris_50]

I tried self-hosting a password vault once and it turned into a hobby project I constantly worried about. At some point I asked myself why I was adding complexity to something meant to reduce it.

Went back to a managed solution pretty quickly after that

I finally just gave in and use Bitwarden. I resisted for ages thinking I could manage my own system of variations and notes, but I was lying to myself.

Once I switched, I realised how much mental clutter I was carrying just remembering logins. It feels like outsourcing a tiny part of my brain

I know it's boring, but I stick with a password manager built into my browser and then layer MFA on top of everything. Not perfect, but practical.

People underestimate how much friction matters. If it's annoying, you'll eventually stop using it properly

I think people overcomplicate this whole topic. Pick a reputable manager, use generated passwords, enable MFA, done.

The rest is just anxiety dressed up as security discussion

I used to reuse passwords everywhere because I thought "nobody is going to target me anyway". That aged poorly after a couple of data leaks.

Now I treat every login like it's already been compromised by default
