Use the "passwords" feature to check if one of yours is compromised. If it shows up, never ever reuse those credentials. They'll be baked into thousands of botnets etc. and be forevermore part of automated break-in attempts until one randomly succeeds.

For me, if this happens, it has no impact since almost every page i sign up to has a unique password. The most important ones has mfa as well.

Use a password manager. Simple.

That would be great if I only used one browser on one device with one operating system. Between my work laptop, my Macbook, my phone, and my gaming PC nothing syncs and it's very difficult to share storage between all of them.

You can install bitwarden on all those devices. Maybe im not fully understanding...

I also dont use just one computer and platform.

Yeah, just tell your work IT staff that you need admin rights to your workstation so you can "install the software you want to" (that they don't supply or support or update).

See how well that works. /s

Ah right. Sorry, I just always used Linux with admin rights since I work in IT.

[–] Trigger2_2000@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Didn't mean to offend you (or anyone else).

I work in IT too (Windows) and have admin rights on my workstation. Even though I have the power to install any software, it's against policy to do so (and technically that's a good policy).

Also, I don't like the idea of anyone/anything but me having my passwords. I go with 2FA if something is important/certified based 2FA if it's really important.

I share my Bitwarden account among 4 browser profiles on 2 PC-s.

I don't think anyone just uses one device anymore, pretty sure there are workarounds.
