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.
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.
Bitwarden since they starded. Didn’t need anything more than the free subscription, but I’m thinking of self-hosting my own vaultwarden instance.
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 🤦♂️

pass.
It’s simple and has frontends for all my usecases. It’s so simple, that you can extend it’s functionality yourself if you wish.
Synchronizing works by just synchronizing the folder where the data lives, so syncthing, git, dropbox, ftp. Whatever you like.
Do you also use it for TOTP?
No, it doesn’t really make sense for 2fa to have both factors in the same database, I use yubikeys with webauthn.
pass-otppass-otp can do TOTP as well.
I’m assuming you use this app to access your passwords on android? https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.msfjarvis.aps/
KeePass. It has everything I need and is fully under my own control.
This is why i also like it
keepass because it is simple and local
Proton
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
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.
