Secret Managers

Personal password managers offer a great convenience to use different passwords everywhere to limit exposure risks when one site or another inevitably gets hacked (see https://haveibeenpwned.com/).

However, they also represent a single point of failure they themselves get hacked.

  • Google Password Manager - built-in to the Chrome browser. If Google gets hacked it's game over because everybody relies on Google for GMail and SSO auth logins.
  • BitWarden - open-core, free for personal use
  • 1Password
  • Keeper
  • LastPass - don't use this one - they've been hacked before. I'm not even going to provide a link to this.
