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

I use proton pass currently.
My life is changing in less than two weeks.
I have an enterprise grade server that I can’t run for a variety of home reasons.
When me and the wife… for lack of a better term, escape, our situation, I’ll be able to self host. I know its gonna be a struggle, I have things to learn, and that is why I’m so excited.
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.
Locally stored KeePass
KeePassDx because of Magikeyboard to not have to copy paste in stuff.
After using it for two years i just find how magikeyboard works by your comment 🤦♂️

Android has password auto-fill by default, and it works with most password managers, including Bitwarden
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 …
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.
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.
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.
Bitwarden since they starded. Didn’t need anything more than the free subscription, but I’m thinking of self-hosting my own vaultwarden instance.
keepass because it is simple and local
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 do it manually
I use syncthings.
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.
Bitwarden idk why I use it but it works fine for me
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.
