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
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
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.
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.
I use keepass2android to access my keypassxc database.
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 🤦♂️

keepass because it is simple and local
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
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 use syncthings.
I do it manually
I keep a database on my OneDrive account
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. It has everything I need and is fully under my own control.
This is why i also like it
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.
Like a lot of folks, I use and recommend Bitwarden for passwords management. Their Authenticator app is really good for mobile TOTP, too.
KeePassXC + Keepass2Andriod, keep it all synced using Syncthing. Desktop/Laptop/Phone all have the passwords synchronized, it is super convenient.
I have been doing it this way for years, never had any issues; just starting to investigate using passkeys where I can. So that is a new adventure; I'll see how it goes with my current workflow.
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.
I notice there aren’t a lot of Dashlane fans. (I use Bitwarden myself.)
Is there something wrong with them?
Personally I use Enpass.
It's both my password manager, but also the place where I keep track of notes about devices, accounts and software licences.
I tried to change over to Bitwarden a few weeks ago, because that is what my office wants us to move to, but the limitations are not really bridgeable for me. Bitwarden seem to me to be very specifically a password manager and not much else.
Bitwarden idk why I use it but it works fine for me
Hands down, Bitwarden app on phone and in browser. Vaultwarden self hosted. Since I host it at home, I know it's always in my server. The winning thing for me is that Bitwarden Supports Webuathn now, you can use it as it's own webuathn key you authorize to log in with, so basically go the site you want to login with and when it asks for the webuathn, you can either have Bitwarden use the credentials you stored for it or your own biometric or hardware key instead.
With this, I sign into Authentik for my SSO just by clicking one link, and Bitwarden prompts to log in and I click the option. I'm auto logged into my server and no UN/PW passed to it.
I've tested others and nothing quite comes close except for KeepassXC, but for me, it's a matter of personal preference on my side. I've been with Bitwarden since the early days.
