My favorite password manager is KeypassDx. I also use proton pass. What do you use and why?
Bitwarden. It is open source, reliable, easy to use, and compatible with everything. The free version has nearly everything, but I have the paid version to support development because $10 per year is very reasonable.
I do regularly export my password vault to KeePassXC as my backup though.
Does Bitwarden have sharing/family features? I’d like to switch but those are a hard requirement for me
Awesome, thanks!
Yes! They have a family plan that is basically their organization plan but cheaper.
Great to know! I’m on a similar plan for 1password now so I’ll have to look at switching
Not open source anymore …
Bitwarden is simple, reliable and works on all of my devices.
I never used it. Is it possible to self host?
Yep! It’s fully open source and free. I use the hosted version though.
Looks like i need to run a server. I actually wanted a fully offline one. Maybe I’ll stick with keepass
well, running a server is in the definition of self-hosting

Like others’ve said, Bitwarden is awesome if you want a (selfhosted or hosted) server (e.g. as a much better replacement for LastPass).
If you want an offline password manager, KeePass is the way to go (i.e. KeePassDX/KeePassXC for mobile/pc).
You can self host with Vaultwarden! It’s just the server; you use the same Bitwarden clients.
Bitwarden. The UI is about to be updated to something more modern so that’s no longer is an issue for most people. It’s also open source, so yes.
The 10€ per year as the premium subscription is just unbeatable. You pay less than a euro per month for a reliable and robust password manager. And you don’t even need the premium subscription, because almost everything is free. I honestly consider it a donation rather than a subscription.
10 EUR per year is a bit more than half an EUR per month
oh yeah sorry meant less than a euro
Also how I treat it
Bitwarden, i can self host it and it is quite convenient to have official apps for all platforms i use.
Bitwarden idk why I use it but it works fine for me
I specifically use Vaultwarden. Great for syncing and sharing across family
Same here, self hosted on docker. I migrated from KeepassXC and I’m very happy.
Keepass was ok but because I have various devices (Mac, Windows, Android, and iPad) all accessing it, at times it would cause issues. No issues that way with VaultWarden.
If you self-host, do you get TOTP support and sharing, or do you need to also pay for a subscription?
You totally get it and sharing without paying. I encourage you to take a look at it. Super easy to setup with docker and a front end proxy.
I use keepass2android to access my keypassxc database.
Self hosted Bitwarden. It has been awesome for three years, never had any problems when switching from windows to Mac and then my phone from android to iPhone.
Better than keeper and last pass. Good synchronization and more options to share passwords or notes with friends compared to Firefox password store.
KeePassDx because of Magikeyboard to not have to copy paste in stuff.
Android has password auto-fill by default, and it works with most password managers, including Bitwarden
After using it for two years i just find how magikeyboard works by your comment 🤦♂️

Bitwarden since they starded. Didn’t need anything more than the free subscription, but I’m thinking of self-hosting my own vaultwarden instance.
Proton
I really enjoy 1Password. Works really well, plenty of storage functionality for all kinds of data. There’s watchtower functionality for poor or leaked passwords, or missing 2fa/passkeys too. One of my favorites is the built-in ssh-agent. In my eyes, it’s absolutely worth the asking price
One of my favorites is the built-in ssh-agent.
You can accomplish the same thing using Bitwarden, completely for free: https://github.com/joaojacome/bitwarden-ssh-agent
keepass because it is simple and local
Protonpass user here. Their aliasing is just too good to have.
Proton Pass is not the only password manager with email aliasing integration. For example, 1Password integrates with Fastmail aliases, and Bitwarden can be used with multiple services: addy.io, SimpleLogin, Firefox Relay, Fastmail, DuckDuckGo Email Protection, and Forward Email.
While true, none of the other ones are as seamless and easy as what Proton achieves. I’ve tried multiple other services, and always come back to Proton for exactly this.
This feature is actually cool
Keypass as well. I hate the PC one though, but I still use it.
I use keypass DX on my phone.
How do you sync your database?
I use syncthings.
I do it manually
I keep a database on my OneDrive account
