Bitwarden



This! I’ve moved from LastPass to BitWarden and I like the clients way better. Browser extensions, Desktop, Mobile (iOS), CLI all work pretty great.

It’s core is opensource and you can run your own server if you want.

For my less critical accounts even the 2FA token is stored in it.


I was actually under the impression the whole thing was open source. Out of curiosity, what is closed?


I think all of it is open source


+1. I migrated to Bitwarden from LastPass last year and haven't looked back. The desktop apps and browser extensions are fantastic and the UX is wonderful.


+1 for Bitwarden.

Free for teams of 2 (perfect for my wife & me) and has a linux app. Runs great on my thinkpad running pop_os!


Curious, how did you come to the decision to run pop_os on non-System76 hardware? I've found pop_os and ubuntu similar enough that they've proven interchangeable.

And how is the experience?


Actually I haven't used plain Ubuntu since 14.04, so can't credibly say how close they are now.

For 16-18 I used Lubuntu. This required a bunch of little customizations and 3rd party apps to get it close to OSX (the standard for me).

Pop_os didnt require me writing scripts to get the touchbar or brighness keys to work. Plus, since it was bundled with nvidia drivers, it was by far the most seamless install experience. The defaults fit my workflow better than Lubuntu at a minimal cost. It's very slick without taking away functionality.
