Here is my solution for a simple, lightweight, bloat-free, non-cloud based password manager that meets all of the requirements outlined above. Like how we did things before the concept of “cloud” anything pushed onto the scene. So after getting frustrated by all the bloated cloud-based “do-it-all” password apps, I decided to just roll my own. Is there an app out there that meets these basic requirements? If so, I have been unable to find it.

So my required features for optimal password management are fundamental and simple: Keep it simple stupidįor my own workflow, I use none of it. I’m sure there are folks out there that gobble it all up, but I am not one of them. That is good news for people who want stuff like “Achievements”, “Trusted Contacts”, and “Version history”. I imagine adding tons of features is necessary to stay competitive with all the other password managers. Features that I never have needed or even thought about even once in 20 years working online. I don’t need no fancy featuresīeyond the whole cloud-based trust issue, it seems all the current password apps are super bloated with all sorts of useless features.

But they are not developing for macOS only PC/Windows (see update below). I did find Keepass which looks like a good stand-alone non-cloud based password solution. And I’m here like “no thank you” - I no longer trust any third-party service with my passwords. Unfortunately everything I found for macOS is cloud-based. Unsatisfied with the costly, confusing, and bloated 1Password and Dashlane, I spent some time researching options for alternative password manager apps.

Step 2: Encrypt the folder with Disk Utility.

You don’t need an app to secure your passwords. Turns out you can get security and freedom via DIY. The confusion involved with that change is what prompted me to finally figure out another, simpler solution for storing and managing passwords and other sensitive information. Likewise for a couple of years Dashlane was great, but then they started making drastic changes like moving from standalone app to browser extension Web-based UI. For example, I was loving 1Password, and then it locked me out of my password file/account. It always seems to be the same thing: things start off great and then go downhill from there.

I’ve tried 1Password and Dashlane, and several other popular password managers for both Mac and PC.
