Password managers offer users a way to generate, store, and organize strong passwords and notes. In this presentation, we will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of self-hosted password managers, highlight their key features, and explore their role in enhancing password security.  We will explore a few self-hosted password managers that are free of charge that have become popular solutions for managing passwords securely, such as: KeePass, KeePassXC, Vaultwarden, and Passbolt.   We’ll also touch on commercial (paid) options such as: Bitwarden 1Password and Dashlane and Google Password Manager.

The Compute Ontario Colloquia are weekly Zoom presentations on Advanced Research Computing, High Performance Computing, Research Data Management, and Research Software topics, delivered by staff from three Compute Ontario consortia (CAC, SciNet, SHARCNET) and guest speakers. The series began January 2023 and superseded similar series previously delivered by individual consortia (e.g. General Interest Seminars by SHARCNET or User Group Meeting TechTalks by SciNet). The colloquia are one hour long and include time for questions. No registration is required. Presentations are usually recorded and uploaded to the hosting consortium video channel.
