Bitwarden, all the way. On my mobile devices, laptops, etc.
I used to use KeePass but the UI is so antiquated and features also just haven't kept up. Bitwarden free, open source, audited, syncs and works everywhere flawlessly, and I can self host if I ever want to. It's great.
Bitwarden has been amazing for me and I'm slowly getting my family to use it as well
Bitwarden has been great for me as well...I don't know that I'll ever get the certain family members away from their password book though.
@Shivaldi
My girlfriend made an account as soon as I mentioned that we could be each others emergency contacts, which is the feature we hope never to use, but it is great knowing that we got it covered.
The family thing was the selling point for me.
What are the family features?
Oh yeah, that's such a huge feature for my wife and kids.
Don't forget you can self host it, preferably with Vaultwarden.
Also Bitwarden. Working on getting the whole family on it. It's easy and has all the features I need.
me too. very happy with it, and 10 bucks for the paid version is pretty inexpensive.
Very good point - the paid version is cheap and well worth it.
well, for an average user like me, I never really understood the advantages of a paid version. What did you convince you to pay for it, besides helping the developers?
I haven't :) I think for most users the free version is everything they need. For $1 or $3 (depending on the tier) you get the ability to store and encrypt files instead of just passwords and text notes, etc. More on that here: https://bitwarden.com/pricing/
The only thing it lacks IMO are custom items types but it's on the roadmap.
