Using the same password for all web apps or services is by no means secure. Using different login IDs everywhere is hardly feasible, unless you put all IDs in a password vault. Buttercup is a password manager that lets you store vaults locally or in the cloud.

We take a look at Buttercup for Windows here. It consists of both a desktop app and a browser extension, but you can also use them separately. Both tools have an almost identical graphical interface.
safes
Logically, you first need to create one or more digital vaults encrypted with AES-256, either locally or with your cloud storage manager. You can also import vaults from other apps, including Bitwarden, LastPass, KeePass, and 1Password. You can create (login) groups within each vault, for example for web services, applications and bank transactions. Finally, you create one or more entries within each group. By default, such an entry is of the type Login (with username and password), but you can also use Browsers (with an url as an extra field), Credit/Bank Card, SSH Key even note Selecting. You can also add your own fields to such an entry, including otp’s (one time password).
Browsers
With the push of a button you can enter usernames, passwords or copy other fields to the clipboard to paste them, for example, into input fields on a website. Although, this can be made even more convenient by installing the Buttercup browser extension for Chromium browsers or Firefox and then attaching it to one or more local vaults. You must first allow this link in your desktop app.
Institutions
You are doing well Securitysection in the settings. Here you can set the time after which the clipboard – which may contain a password – should be emptied and when an opened safe is closed automatically. It is also safer to use the option here Lock on close to prevent a safe from being left open after closing the app. Apparently there is also a Privacysection, but unfortunately it is not accessible. Presumably this has to do with a somewhat bumpy release of the latest app version, which also failed to include support for a biometric vault access in time.
Conclusion
Buttercup is a multiplatform password manager that is easy to operate and offers few advanced functions. But if you need nothing more than a safe for all kinds of login IDs and other sensitive information, Buttercup has a reliable solution. The smooth interaction with the browser extension further facilitates its use from within browsers.
