Use a Password manager to make life easier (I use lastpass and I use password managers because of you and thank you so much for that dude)

[@gushka_]

@@alyxis98 If you're using a password manager because of the privacy and security, then you have to really reconsider trusting LastPass and eventually pick either KeePass or Bitwarden. Also, Techlore a great vid on this topic, you should check that out

[@alyxis98]

@Gushka Hey thank you, I've switched from Lastpass to Bitwarden with andOTP 2 or so months ago.

What is a secure way to store your master pw?

[@joaomoreira2783]

The emergency sheet is for you to print, write your master password (mp) and physically store it in a safe location in case you forget your mp. Nice in depth vid. Thx.

[@redeyesdrogon786]

It is very simple. I see Techlore video. I click Techlore video. KeePass is simply the goat 🐐

[@peterm3531]

Great video and great information. I am familiar with Keypass, and I have been using it on TAILS ,and though it was amazing, generating really good passwords and remembering all that I would input. So I was getting ready to use it on my Windows machines and Android phone because I do not like the Norton password manager at all, and was really physced when I saw I could use a remote location like One drive to store the database. You have saved me from having to run upstairs to get the other computers booted up and logged into Norton to get the latest passwords. I was delighted with the copy user name and password, and now I will try the copy/paste thing you mentioned. Thanks for your help 👍 excellent job. Regards, Peter

[@christianbruneau777]

this is so useful ! People use it at my job and now myself :) Thank you !

[@AbduMad]

anybody coming here after Lastpass last update?

[@Sarge92]

pretty much lastpass was great and i see why they needed to make money because there old pricing model wasnt giving enough of a reason to upgrade but only 1 device type? yeah little too restrictive and after being left stood in a grocery store for 10 mins with grocerys trying to get my damn bank account to load i was pretty much fedup also the fact that a company anycompany not just last pass basically held my accounts at ransome made me feel uneasy and the more you use password managers like those the more embedded into there system you become to where it could take hours to revert and reocver all those accounts

[@aarondavis6174]

The latest LastPass breach yeah, been a few since this video

[@wingsandthings.]

Great vid. I used KeepassXC and KeepassDX on my machines. I just switched to bitwarden because syncing my passwords required too much management.

[@elenaa_28]

Meh, have you heard of syncthing? It's a peer to peer file synchronization software which works really great.

[@TheExsi]

@@elenaa_28 Both are a great but we need to start make things simpler. Bitwarden rocks and its simpler. I mean most people wanna be easy ,we nerds got time cause we care etc but most people dont wanna hassle . Therefore lets aim for opensource and simpler than opensource and lets make things complicated .Especially when we dealing with new users.

[@longnamedude3947]

Have you self-hosted your BitWarden setup? Are you running the hosting solution on hardware you own? Or, Are you using a 3rd party hosting provider? Someone else has suggested using "SyncThing", did you ever try this as a solution or did you just decide to switch to using BitWarden after frustration with syncing databases?

[@ArtisticallyEligible]

bitwarden is very polished and works nicely with their integration of password saving and customization

[@GodModeMaker]

@@longnamedude3947 I have a question, I'm pretty noob right now so does self hosting mean i need a server or can I do it on my wifi? Again, I'm a noob.

[@bowwowers]

This is such a valuable resource. Thank you sm

[@elliott421]

I'm not a computer n00bie, but even I appreciate a good tutorial like this. What helps is it makes setup so much quicker and easier because if there are any settings that need immediate configuration, tutorials help set them straight. The best part was the password auto-entry feature. I'll definitely be using that!

[@darrell7598]

Use "ctrl alt a" to auto fill. Setup auto-fill instructions in AUTO-TYPE tab. Generally "inherit default Auto-Type sequence from the group" which is {USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}. However, you can specify your own instructions by selecting "Use custom Auto-Type sequence.

[@Immortal-sr8gq]

What if you forgot master password?

[@unpaintedcanvas]

This is interesting and fairly helpful should I ever decide to use persistence on Tails. That said, given how trustworthy Bitwarden is, I'm content with its privacy-convenience trade-off when using it. (I'll probably look into self-hosting Bitwarden once I get a NAS.)

[@techlore]

You could still use Tails without persistence and use a second flashdrive with your database. I believe Tails handles .kdbx by default. (Could be wrong there)

[@unpaintedcanvas]

Can you import from bitwarden?

[@zunipox878]

I switched from KeePass to Bitwarden, mainly to be able to access passwords from Android. Had my KeePass file on my Nextcloud but couldn't connect to it with Keepass2Android, as Keepass2Android can't handle 2FA (which my Nextcloud has), couldn't find a way to solve it with app tokens either... So I ended up hosting my own Bitwarden. Maybe there's other KeePass apps for Android that can handle 2FA better?

[@Oharafolk]

Thanks so much, really helpful video! What do you think of the web browsers extension compatible with Keypass?

[@BloodAsp]

That smells like a trap imo.

[@mtech1961]

There's also an auto save on exit function

[@MitchGersbach]

There's a portable version of Bitwarden also.

[@seanw7329]

I am still using KeePass since year 2006. steady, convenient for daily use. Today, i stumbled into this KeePassXC version & started considering shift to it. it allows me directly access the *.kdbx file using XC. An outstanding feature in the XC = Generate Password window. It allows user to stay on the generator with "refreshing" different passwords output at will , without leaving the current panel (in-&-out, Eg. such as KeePass). BitWarden is not my cup of tea. I still prefer offline DB. & will see , if KeePassXC using *.kdbx on my Android mobile phone works since it is using same DB file.

[@jandre281]

I like XC for that password generator too. Especially for website which have stupid prohibitions on characters

[@infirmux]

what about global shortcut to fill in fields??

[@LuisHuerta-oh5pm]

Hi! Does the portable KeePassXC protect you against key loggers when opening it on a public PC for example?

[@pt8306]

No. It's just regular KeePass but with the settings file location changed and no registry entries. For protection against keyloggers and clipboard snooping and such, you will need to use an alternate authentication scheme, such as yubikey.

[@7ngel]

Why not use keepass xc?

[@Merope4ever]

I don't know if I want a version of Keepass or Bitwarden. I really really really really don't know. I've been looking into it a few times and seeking comparison info on reddit. But I still don't know. All I know is that I would like an open source password manager. Would I like to have as much control as possible? Sure. Do I want everything to work flawless and without effort? Sure. I probably like things about both of them. If anyone knows an elaborate comparison, please let me know.

[@Fardado07]

Why don't you mention signature verification for keepass?

[@soulaesthete8563]

This is an excellent tutorial, however, I really wanted you to go into the auto-filling feature. The turnoff for me about KeePass is filling in logins, which is a bit too inconvenient for me.

[@algungonzalo]

If you're talking about the browser, you can use the KeePassXC-Browser extension: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keepassxc-browser/ (also available for Chrome), you have to activate the "browser integration" on your KeePassXC app

[@pt8306]

I know it's a year later, but you have 2 good options. You can use the browser extensions Gonzalo mentioned, but you can also use auto-type. Pressing Ctrl-V on an entry will automatically find the correct open window and type into it. This can be slightly dodgy at times, and I wouldn't recommend it for really high security situations, but it's very convenient.

I don't recommend adding usernames in that KeePass database and also not using it with public computers either. Public computers can have keyloggers and such. Never trust anyone else's device if you want to be sure. Also if your passwords get stolen for some reason, not having usernames there can save you again. Don't make it too easy to steal your passwords.

Hey. Why are you using windows isn't it privacy nightmare ? Any way to make it more secure ?

[@techlore]

Because this is a tutorial for people learning how to use KeePass. Who needs to watch a video to learn how to use KeePass? Most likely not Linux users. I dual boot for the channel and the production currently happens in Fedora. As for windows security, it’s plenty secure (and arguably has a stronger security model than most Linux distros) Make sure windows defender is enabled and be sure you’re aware of avoiding the main security risks while you browse. As for windows PRIVACY, this is extremely problematic and I believe is likely where your concern is. You can try using tools like w10privacy but just assume unless you’re diving in yourself that Microsoft is collecting something about you. Switch to Linux if you don’t want a company watching everything you do.
