My favorite password manager is KeypassDx. I also use proton pass. What do you use and why?

Bitwarden since they starded. Didn’t need anything more than the free subscription, but I’m thinking of self-hosting my own vaultwarden instance.
I use keepass2android to access my keypassxc database.
I specifically use Vaultwarden. Great for syncing and sharing across family
https://github.com/dani-garcia/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.
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.
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, i can self host it and it is quite convenient to have official apps for all platforms i use.
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
Yeah https://bitwarden.com/help/sharing/
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 …
Mine is 1Password mainly because I really like the way they handle Security by forcing you to use a key that they issue you that we know is very secure because of its length than randomness. It also has the best ui of the ones I have used.
Proton pass.
Used bitwarden for a long time til I lost my 2fa and lost the account. I also lost proton’s 2fa and they helped me get the account back. Been a customer since.
Locally stored KeePass
Bitwarden is simple, reliable and works on all of my devices.
I never used it. Is it possible to self host?
You can self host with Vaultwarden! It’s just the server; you use the same Bitwarden clients.
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
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).
well, running a server is in the definition of self-hosting

I’ve used 1password for more years I can count on my hands, and am satisfied with it. I share vaults with family members which is extremely handy with my aging parents.
I haven’t really tried much else. I see no reason to switch.
Keypass as well. I hate the PC one though, but I still use it.
I use keypass DX on my phone.
Its spelled KeePass (not to be pedantic, just for clarity). Here’s a link on F-droid for KeePassDX. Others should chime in, but I think KeePassXC is the best choice for Win/Linux/Mac. Then sync your database via Syncthing (or your trusted cloud provider).
How do you sync your database?
I keep a database on my OneDrive account
I use syncthings.
I do it manually
I use Firefox’ built-in password manager; anything else is a hassle to use tbh
Same, I do however also write all of my password in a notebook, so I don’t lose them if anything bad happens.
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.
At work we’re using Bitwarden for the group benefits; though I still have KeePassXC running to simplify SSH keys (Windows, naturally) for native & PuTTY.
Personally, I use KeePassXC & KeePass android (currently); and sync’d through GDrive; which is good enough for my needs.
