I'm considering downloading a password manager so that I don't keep forgetting my passwords. The problem is, how do I know that the password manager itself is both hackproof and trustworthy, i.e. no back doors built in by unscrupulous developers? Can you recommend any such password manager software?
1This question is really broad. There are tons of open source password managers that exist. You certainly can trust those. Software recomendations are not on topic here at Superuser. So you understand there are multiple reasons i issued a downvote. Its not on topic since its asking for a software recomendation, your asking can you trust a password manager instead of should I ( even that is still a primarily opinion-based answer ), and the question is extremely broad. – Ramhound – 2014-08-27T11:39:30.617
@Ramhound, the main thrust of the question is how to know whether password manager software is trustworthy. The recommendation is peripheral. Why is the question OT? – Shaul Behr – 2014-08-27T11:57:29.127
If you want to convince yourself, you'll have to audit the entirety of the source code yourself. Simple as that. – Daniel B – 2014-08-27T12:39:14.983
