**[BitWarden](https://bitwarden.com)** | Fully-featured, open source password manager with cloud-sync. BitWarden is easy-to-use with a clean UI and client apps for desktop, web and mobile.
**[KeePass](https://keepass.info)** | Hardened open source, secure password manager, without cloud-sync capabilities. See also [KeePassXC](https://keepassxc.org), [KeePassX](https://www.keepassx.org) and [KeePass Web](https://keeweb.info) which are popular community forks of KeePass, with additional features and UI refinements
**[KeePass](https://keepass.info)** | Hardened, secure and offline password manager.

**[LessPass](https://lesspass.com)** *(Self-Hosted)* | LessPass is a little different, since it generates your passwords using a hash of the website name, your username and a single master-passphrase that you reuse. It omits the need for you to ever need to store or sync your passwords. They have apps for all the common platforms and a CLI, but you can also self-host it.

Note: Cryptocurrency prices can go down. Storing any wealth in crypto may result in losses. If you are new to digital currencies- do your research first, don't invest more than you can afford, and be very weary of scams and cryptocurrency-related malware.
#### Virtual Card Payments
When paying for goods or services on websites that only accept card payments, consider using a virtual card number, to avoid sharing real payment details with a potentially unsafe vendor. [Privacy.com](https://privacy.com/join/VW7WC) offer disposable virtual pre-paid cards and also allow for setting spend-limits and generating single-use cards. Other options (with monthly fee) include [Revolut METAL](https://revolut.ngih.net/Q9jdx) and [MySudo](https://mysudo.com)
