What password manager should you use

Available on Apple, Spotify, Amazon and more...

Summary

Someone emailed asking which password manager to use, but my reply bounced. The short answer is Keychain, the one built into your Mac, works great with Safari. If you need cross-browser support, check out Bitwarden, Minimalist Password, or 1Password. I’ll put links below.

So this video is actually going to be quite a short one.

I received an email earlier today, or last night, but I saw it today. And the person asked me what password manager they should use. So if that person is listening in or watching, the reason I didn’t email you, or you didn’t receive any emails, because it bounced back to me. But I thought I’d make a quick video with the question that he had. Hopefully he’ll see this video and contact me again, and it will help you as well.

The question was, one of the questions was, were, was, were, what password manager should one use? Now, I have made a video, a brief video about this a while back, actually, but I’ll go over it again. So there are several password managers.

Now, one password was one of the original ones, and I used to use that. I don’t like using it anymore. No reason other than the fact I think it’s just a bit too bloated for a simple password manager.

The one that comes with your Mac is probably the best one. It’s called Keychain. It will sync with all your devices. Now, there are some things that it can’t do, but generally because it comes with the Mac, It just works and it works really well. It can be a pain to do some things with it, but keychain is probably the best one, out of the box.

Now, if you want to pay for one, one password is another. I’m going to put links to all of these down below, so you don’t have to keep writing down.

Bitwarden is an open source. I think it’s an open source one. It’s actually very secure. It’s a free one, but you can pay for it for a few more functions.

Now, the difference between keychain and all these other ones is that all these other ones work with all browsers, whereas the keychain generally just works with Safari. And you want something if you’re using Firefox, and God forbid, you’re using Chrome.

What’s the other one? The one that I like using is minimalist password. Again, that works like one password and it works like Bitwarden. But it’s an Apple-centric one. So that’s actually a pretty good one. So I’ll put the links to all of these below.

If you have any questions, let me know. There’ll be a link here to contact me. And don’t forget to subscribe. I have to say that now. Anyway, have a great day and I’ll see you in the next one. Ciao.
