I’ve been using Safeincloud password manager for my Windows partition but I want to start using on that works on Linux. I’ve tried running with Wine but functionality isn’t great and I’d prefer an open source solution. Any suggestions? I was looking into a few like Butter but its still in beta. What would you suggest I look for in a password manager? Types of encryption, etc.
If you need FOSS, Bitwarden is the option most competitive with Lastpass and 1Password. I use Lastpass myself but plan to switch to Bitwarden once their security audit is complete.
Edit- hadn’t looked at bitwarden before, but looks like I’m going to switch- looks like a decent company, nice ethos, great portability, and sustainable business model.
Will be keeping an eager eye out for that audit …

I love keepass, and use it on all my systems, and phones; but yeah, browser plugins for it are horrendous…
KeePassXC has nicer features and works better in linux than the other KeePass implementations (KeePass2, KeePassX). It also has a browser plugin although I’ve never used it. AutoType works well for me.
Yeah, Bitwarden says all the right things and does have a bug bounty program at Hackerone, but I won’t use a password management solution that hasn’t undergone a formal security audit. It’s just too important, my entire life is in Lastpass.
