Ask HN: How do you start over with 2FA after losing your phone? | Mar 2023

I use KeepassXC password manager[1], it keeps my TOTP information and makes it available to use on all my devices. It syncs between my devices using Dropbox. Kepassium[2] makes it available on iOS, and Keepass2Android[3] makes it available on Android. It also manages my SSH keys and adds them to the ssh-agent, even on Windows. It houses a backup of my GPG keys. I even found that it can manage my credentials for use in scripts and git using git-credential-keepassxc[4].

Similar functionality can be had from 1Password[5], if you're into the more fancy experience. As a bonus this approach makes it very easy to store all those backup codes that totp services often give you. Won't help your current predicament but will prevent it from happening again :)

KeePassXC – Cross-Platform Password Manager | Feb 2022

For anyone that does challenge-response with a Yubikey like I do, I'd suggest Keepass2Android Password Safe[1] if you're on Android. I've been using it for years and it's well maintained in terms of updates and features, and it supports the KeePassXC challenge-response method. Edited to add: And it's open source[2].

I've been using Keepass2Android [0] for a few years now (synced with the desktop client) and haven't had any issues. I'm not aware if any audits on it, but I'm not sure the risk of a developer pushing malicious binaries is that much higher on the play store than the arch/debian/snap/brew repositories.

> KeepassCX + FF extension: Works decently for password management. Though there's no solution for FF mobile as far as I know.

Not sure what mobile platform you use, but on Android I have been very happy with Keepass2Android (https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android). It uses the android password-manager API so you get autofill (or at least a quick-access button) on login fields in both apps and websites.

Edit: It also supports a lot of methods for syncing the keepass database between devices, I point it to a directory that's managed by Syncthing and it works pretty flawlessly.

Ask HN: Best password manager(s) for mere mortals? | Jan 2019

Keepass. At the moment I am using passhole in terminal, Tusk extension in Chrome and Keepass2Android on Android. All synced via Google Drive.

The apps I use have changed over time but it is still the same database and all apps I use have open source code published on Github.
