A fancy Password Manager with no hardly any features to compete with alternatives like Keepass. Even Worse , they claim to be a "privacy focused app", yet require you to go to the Play Store to install in on Android devices. Inexcusable!

Let me count the reasons this program should be avoided:

Program doesn't install on Linux Mint 19.3 properly and will not operate giving an error about missing a needed update file.

Program will not create a new archive to start using it for passwords.

The website looks like something form the 80's. This is supposed to be a legitimate open source app site?

There is no documentation with it or support outside of going to the creators Twitter page. And what if you don't use Twitter? I have to sign up to find out how to fix your broken software?

Buttercup is a pretty well made Password Manager, made with Electron Framework it gives a nice interface to it, pure and clear.

My privacy / security tools

In recent years advertising companies started to tracks you everywhere on the web (and even in the "real life") spying you, constantly wanting to know what you are doing, when, where, why and even with who. So I decided to change my "internet lifestyle" in order not to be tracked anymore. I want to keep my private datas for myself even though I have nothing to hide really. But thinking that major companies are selling my everyday life really bother me. Then if you want to avoid as much as possible beign tracked here are the tools I use daily. I'll also include some softwares/apps which are not especially privacy focused but security focused. And forgive me if I do mistakes, english isn't my mother tongue ;)

Best password managers to keep your passwords safe

Using the same password for several accounts (messaging, social networks, online services, bank accounts...) can be a dangerous practice. One solution to this problem is to use a digital safe to store passwords and other sensitive information. This makes it possible to store all passwords in a tamper-proof safe and retain only its combination, also called a master password. Password managers are legion. It's not easy to find your way around when you're looking for a safe, simple, efficient and secure solution. Between web browser managers, online services, smartphone applications, desktop software... It can be pretty difficult to find the right password manager for your needs. And with the recent exploit discovery in the LastPass password manager, you might be looking for a good and secure alternative. So, here's a list of the best password managers to keep all of your passwords safe.

Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.

What is Buttercup?

Buttercup uses a delta-system to manage archive changes and save conflicts. The archive, upon saving, is encrypted with AES 256bit to ensure the security of your credentials. Buttercup uses industry standard methods and configuration for encryption to ensure that there are no weaknesses in the locking/unlocking process of your archives. No personal data is collected by Buttercup and no accounts are required.

Can store password archives in Dropbox, ownCloud, Nextcloud and WebDAV for remote use / sharing - your credentials are completely controlled by you and available anywhere that you have internet connection. The desktop application supports offline archives by saving files locally. The mobile application supports in-browser login auto-filling.
