    I second the recommendation for Bitwarden.

    I switched over from Dashlane and never looked back. They even have a browser extension for mobile Firefox (the browser you should be using anyways) so it’s easy and convenient on all my devices.

      +1 for Bitwarden. There were growing pains at the start to move off of iCloud Keychain. Once done and being more proactive with managing passwords it’s so good and trustworthy

        Agreed. Bitwarden has been fantastic. I just wish it was easier to swap between accounts on the browser extension. You can do it on desktop and mobile pretty easily.

          Manually putting what in?

          You can import from another service if that’s what you mean

          First time using it you export your password data and move it into BW. Then browser extension can help auto fill and detect new ones. It also has a password generator built in so that’s handy

          Phone app can integrate and auto fill. On iPhone I’m not sure it if can detect and save. But the few times I’ve needed to sign up on phone I manually input.

          I still use Firefox password and iCloud saves when prompted. Doesn’t hurt to have a backup I suppose.

          I spent some time when I migrated from just storing my passwords in Chrome. I went through and made sure all of them were strong, unique passwords. I set up categories for all of them. I set it up so I could share the right ones with the family and whatnot.

          Doing the raw import is easy, but it was a good time to make sure everything was in order.

      Is there a reason to use the mobile extension over the app itself? The app can input into other apps as well

        Don’t know honestly - I’ve never tried the app so I don’t have a comparison. Didn’t even know they had one.

          The app is nice if you want to use bitwarden to login to other appa. You can allow it permission to run alongside other apps that can fill in login forms.

        I have never even got the mobile extension to work. When I set it up and enter in my email and master password, the Captcha that is supposed go show up is missing entirely. There is just a blank space under the password field where the Captcha is supposed to have appeared.
