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 | Free and open source, cross-platform password manager with sync |
| 1Password | Open source, fully-featured cross-platform password manager with sync. Free for self-hosted (or $3/ month hosted) |
| KeePassXC | Open source, secure password manager, but without cloud-sync capabilities. KeePassXC is a community fork of KeePass |
| LessPass | 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. |
2-Factor Authentication Apps
| Provider | Description |
|---|---|
| Aegis | Free, secure and open source app for manageing 2-step verification tokens, on Android |
| AndOTP | Another open source, secure authanticator app. AndOTP is well established with a strong large user base |
Note: Don't use your password manager to also store your 2-FA tokens- use a separate application.
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 personal security checklist for all the details 🔐
