I used LastPass until they went for-pay with very little warning. So to protest I subscribed to Bitwarden premium (or whatever their paid tier is called)! Can recommend.
It’s a must if you want secure passwords. My gf doesn’t use one - her passwords are all re-used variations of l33tsp34k that are pretty easy to guess (I can get into her accounts in a few tries if I need to). But also she forgets them often.
I held off on using a password manager for a long time. I used an open source one for my buisness for a while but almost lost the file in a computer failure, lucky I had a backup…
. somewhere.
After that I looked at a cloud option and finally settled on one, then the business died down and I kept using it for my personal stuff. I can’t believe I didn’t use one earlier. Life is so much easier now, no need to go between my bad password, Medium, and strong. Everything just gets a random password now and no need to worry about a string of 2fa messages hitting my phone when a password gets pwned.
I think the best quote on PW Managers was “Password Managers are the vegetables of the internet. We all know they’re good for us, but a lot of people are still content with the equivalent of password junk food”.
Password managers are great, and the time i have to spend unlocking Bitwarden to autofill my password, is about the same time that it would take me to type out a password on my own. AND my passwords are exponentially more secure!
However, I really wish they would steal the look and feel and custom document types they do over at 1Password. I moved from 1Password to Bitwarden a while ago but really miss the sexy look and feel of 1Password. Bitwarden is very “linux-y”
Bitwarden is just fantastic, it works so well. After migrating from LastPass years ago to BW I haven’t looked back once and have encouraged friends to switch over as well.
I can’t imagine not using a password manager. I am a long-time user of 1Password and have been very happy with the service and apps. I recommend it to everyone. Worth every penny and then some IMO.

I use 1Password atm, but want to switch either to Proton or something selfhosted.

I’m a longtime free user, what does the premium service offer?
Hardware keys like Yubikey
If I’m being honest, I couldn’t even tell you. Maybe emergency access for a family member? That sounds right.

Butwarden. Always Bitwarden. Just like almost everyone else in here it seems like.
Keepass2 as well. Probably can’t go wrong with either one!
My nickname in HS was Buttwarden.
Moved to Bitwarden from LastPass this year. Never looked back!

KeePass is the perfect tool for me ! The cybersecurity practice at work also use it,

Since switching everything over to bitwarden I never have to recover a password. I used to do it everytime I used a less common service
One of the many benefits 😊
Bitwarden.
LastPass -> Enpass -> BitWarden
Tried KeePass (on Windows), 1Password and pass before settling with BitWarden.
Bitwarden all the way. Self hosted too.

Bitwarden all day, every day. Awesome stuff.

Genuinely supprised how much better BW works right of the bat.

Self hosting one isn’t difficult and allowz you to maintain a high level of security
