Secrets Password Manager Questions
I recommend MacPass. It’s free on GitHub

1Password Has Raised $620M
Looking around, on macOS there’s also MacPass[0] which looks decent (good enough that I could see myself contributing for the last few % of polish), and gnome-passwordsafe[1] looks reasonable on Linux (if a bit too mobile-y for a desktop app). The only notable hole in the platforms I use is Windows… perhaps it’s time to spin up a WinUI Keepass project.

Anyone found a suitable 1Password alternative yet?
Some clients let you define templates, e.g. the official KeePass client or MacPass.

So… native alternatives to 1Password?
• Apple’s Keychain Access is as native as you can get • MacPass is an open-source and native password manager • Elpass is not open-source, but still native (at least v1.3.4) • Remembear is still native (v1.4.13), for now

Ask HN: Why does Bitwarden not comment their code?
I was looking through the Bitwarden server repository (https://github.com/bitwarden/server ) and was surprised to see that no comments (xml or otherwise) were availible.
Is this normal in an entreprise setting? I thought it was standard to comment every public member (Visual Studio warnings).

What program(s) do you use to remember passwords, including crypto?
For passwords and 2FA I use Bitwarden in combination with a self-hosted Vaultwarden service (for imcreased security and use of pro features for free).

Amazon Account with unauthorised purchases, did my google passwords get leaked
First it's good to use a password manager, however it's not a good idea to use the one built into your browser. I would suggest switching to BitWarden or similar (not LastPass).

Did I mess up?
I just noticed today when relogging in on Bitwarden (I couldn't sync my vault) that it said "Logged in as [email] on __$2__" instead of "Logged in as [email] on bitwarden.com". I don't know why or how that happened, and I have no idea what it means. Did I screw up somehow? Just to be clear, I did login and just after I logged in my brain realized that it said "__$2__" instead of what it should say.

What are some dangers that can happen if I’ve chosen not to enable 2fa on certain accounts
I would also recommend the use of a password manager such as Proton Pass, BitWarden or 1Password if your looking for a more premium solution.
