Ask HN: What password manager tools do you use or recommend?

I wrote my own, MemPa [1, 2].

I'm not sure I'd recommend it because it's basically iOS-only now and with no iOS12 integration, but I'd definitely recommend a deterministic approach for at least your most important sites (banks, google?, facebook?). The main reason is availability in case of real need, when for example your phone could be broken or inaccessible. I wrote about my use case here [3].

Happy to discuss deterministic approaches, please make sure to read also the counter arguments [4].

In addition, I strongly encourage setting up 2FA, especially on the most important sites. My choice for passwords is also related: I really want my password to be something I know (not something I need a device/password manager for) because with 2FA you prove already something you have. Another totally valid option is to setup 2FA on your password manager and call it the day. For completeness, I'm also building a security key called Solo, open source and FIDO2 [5].
