  • @Madchatthew not something I’ve used in Okta, but BitWarden also has this function and I admit it is very useful.

    @phenomlab I apologize for the confusion. I don’t believe that Okta has that feature, but Bitwarden for sure. Does the authenticator work in the web browser extension as well for Bitwarden?

    @Madchatthew said in OKTA offering personal password manager:

    Yes, it does. I am using it myself for a few accounts. It works very well and when you login, it even copies the TOTP code for you so you only have to paste in the field when requested - a very nice touch.

    @phenomlab oh that is very nice! I may have to start using Bitwarden because that would be a time saver to not to have to go to a different app to get the authentication code

    @Madchatthew Agreed. It does make sense and also means you can access the TOTP anywhere provided you have the master password to access your Bitwarden account.

    So an update on Bitwarden. I have been using Bitwarden and the Bitwarden Authenticator and I have been pretty pleased with those two apps. I can see where spending the $10/year would be nice to have the auth code automatically entered into that field. For not I am gonna stick to the free version and I can switch apps for now. Eventually I will purchase the $10 dollar plan.

    I have BitWarden installed but am still enjoying Proton Pass. Has anyone else tried this?

    In fact I’m still using Microsoft Authenticator for some of my old old passwords etc, I really should get them out 😂.

    @Madchatthew honestly, what you get for free with Bitwarden is hard to beat. Be careful though s there is a rumour that the $10 per year pricing will become legacy so won’t be around forever.

    This typically means that there will be a new pricing structure announced and that will likely be more expensive.

    Many platforms start out like this and then gradually transition to more profitable pricing to sustain development. One such vendor who did this not so long ago was Shield Security which had been charging $1 per month.

    @JAC No, not one I’ve looked at. The price of Proton in general puts me off to be honest.

    @phenomlab oh wow, I hope they don’t change that. It is a good price to have those extra features included. I can see where the autofill on the auth number would be really nice. Maybe that is why they made their auth program seperate, in case people didn’t want to pay their higher prices for the integration?

    @Madchatthew possibly, although for the price, it’s a reasonable cost and doesn’t break the bank.

    Seems they are still doing the premium plan

    @phenomlab Although it might be worth it to consider the family plan. My wife could really benefit from a password manager and then it would be easy for me to share vaults with her. Although I don’t need 6 vaults, so paying for two separate accounts might be ok and I can still share with her.

    @Madchatthew I never thought my wife would adapt to a password manager but now she knows how it works, she’s using it all the time. We share the same vault under one login across two devices, which works fine.

    ah nice, I could just log in as me on her device. we do that with another app for grocery shopping, so that would work as well

    For EU-based, end-to-end encrypted cloud storage, here are the strongest options beyond what you’re already using: Tresorit (Switzerland) : Probably the gold standard for E2EE. Zero-knowledge, Swiss/EU data residency, excellent for both file sync and secure sharing. More expensive than competitors but very polished and audited. Filen (Germany) : Zero-knowledge E2EE by default, generous free tier (10GB), very competitive pricing on paid plans, and lifetime plans available. Open-source clients. Popular on the privacy subreddits as a Proton Drive alternative. Internxt (Spain) : Open-source, zero-knowledge E2EE, GDPR-based. Offers storage plus a few extra privacy tools. Lifetime plans available. Younger company, so weigh that against the price. pCloud (Switzerland, registered in EU) : Massive caveat: E2EE is not default. It’s a paid add-on called “pCloud Crypto.” Without it your files are encrypted at rest but not zero-knowledge. The draw is genuine lifetime plans, which can be cost-effective over years if you trust their longevity.

    @phenomlab I will have to test this out in my virtual environment. I have an Arch KDE Plasma install in virtualbox that I am testing a bunch of things out before I actually wipe the hard drive and install linux. I am currently in the process of copying my Arch test web server over to virtualbox on linux to make sure that it works. This is the virtual server that I test updates on before updating the production server. I can’t remember the error I was getting but I think it had to do with the network device. That was on the virtualbox side. So the cloud storage will be the next thing that I test.

    @phenomlab this looks very nice as well. It is nice that they keep the KDE Neon a rolling release so you will get those updated apps even though Ubuntu isn’t a rolling release. Is it a rolling distro? KDE neon is rolling for KDE software. The Ubuntu base OS is not, but certain packages will be updated as needed to support KDE software requiring newer library versions than what is provided by Ubuntu. Apps from the main repositories are not rolling either, and therefore can be up to two years old. Users are encouraged not to use them, and to instead get apps from Snap or Flatpak using KDE’s Discover app store. In neon, Discover is set up to only show apps from these sources, filtering out apps from the repositories.
