# Privacy & Securty-Focused Software and Services
> A curated list of privacy-respecting apps, software and providers 🔐

## Intro

You can greatly increase your digital security, by switching to privacy-respecting software. 
Using open-source applications with a strong emphasis on security, will help stop
large corporations profiting from your data, through logging, storing and selling your personal details.

## Password Managers

| Provider |Description |
| --- | --- |
**[BitWarden](https://bitwarden.com)**  | Free and open source, cross-platform password manager with sync
**[1Password](https://1password.com)** | Open source, fully-featured cross-platform password manager with sync. Free for self-hosted (or $3/ month hosted)
**[KeePassXC](https://keepassxc.org)** | Open source, secure password manager, but without cloud-sync capabilities. KeePassXC is a community fork of [KeePass](https://keepass.info/)
**[LessPass](https://lesspass.com)** | 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 ommits 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**: In order to stay protected, it is important to also: Use strong and unique passwords, 2-factor authentication,
adopt good networking practices and be mindful of data that is collected when browsing the web. See the full
