Best Password Managers

Password managers store, organise, and autofill your logins across every device and browser you use, so you never have to remember a password or fall into the trap of reusing the same one everywhere. It sounds simple, but having a strong, unique password for every account is genuinely one of the most effective things you can do to protect yourself online, and a good password manager makes it completely painless. Self-hosted options like Vaultwarden and Bitwarden give you everything the paid cloud services offer encrypted vault storage, browser extensions, mobile apps, secure sharing, two-factor authentication without your most sensitive data ever leaving your own server. You're not trusting a third party to keep it safe, you're not paying a monthly fee, and you're not left scrambling if that company gets breached or disappears. If there's one category where keeping things in-house genuinely makes sense beyond just the homelabber instinct, it's this one.
