    I recommend KeePass and I encourage everyone to consider it given its platform-agnostic portable format. What happened to Raivo cannot happen to KeePass and its more of a universal solution as opposed to 1) Android: Aegis 2) iOS: Tofu or OTP etc.

    All of those are very good apps but the problem remains that they all have their own peculiar/specific format that doesn’t necessarily play nice with any other app. KeePass is a convention/format that doesn’t really vary between implementations.

    Edit: It also allows for choice in whether to keep it local or to safey sync in your choice of cloud service without exposing the contents unencrypted. If you don’t want to manage any of that, I would recommend Bitwarden and paying the $10 once and see if you’re still fine the next year without having to resubscribe if thats a problem for you.

      The problem here would be storing your passwords along with your 2fa. You’re basically giving away every information needed to enter your accounts in case someone get access to your vault.

      The best option would probably be using both KeePass and BitWarden. You store your passwords in one and your 2fa in the other.
