No uses page would be complete without a rice:
I don’t think it’d be interesting to just list off all the software I use, so I’ll instead treat this as a show-and-tell with programs I think are noteworthy.
Generally speaking, I like minimal open-source software. I often do not consider proprietary options.
Password managers
I’m not really with the times on proprietary password managers, but it was one of the first instances where I became a hardliner. It only took one data breach and my friends complaining about some silly paywalled arbitrary restriction of their password manager (can’t generate passwords, can’t store more than x passwords). These are extremely basic, essential features that are baked into any FOSS solution, and as such I can’t imagine why I’d use a proprietary password manager over KeePassXC (my beloved).
If you’re looking for a password manager, I often recommend KeePassXC or Bitwarden. Bitwarden might be what you’re looking for if you’re into convenience, as it’s free (with paid tiers) and can be accessed from a web interface. KeePassXC, on the other hand, is a local encrypted database of passwords. That means you have to deal with safely backing it up yourself, but some would consider that a feature.
pass seems very neat in that it is highly scriptable, but you sacrifice a bit of privacy considering that sites you register to are stored in your home directory.
