Personally, I need my passwords across devices and across browsers.

I use Safari for personal browsing and Chrome for all work/business browsing. As a consultant, when I’m on site at a client location and they give me a machine I make a Chrome profile and let Chrome sync passwords. But I also work in highly regulated industries so I don’t carry those accounts and passwords off site.

But I also share my passwords with a business partner, so I need something like 1Password to keep, manage and share secrets. And credit card, and addresses.

It I will say that none of the password managers out there have amazing UI. I can’t live without certain features I. A password manager, but I’d consider any new entrant that works better than Lastpass and 1Password. I do intend to try Bitwarden.. I think my password manager license renews soon (but it’s not very expensive).

I stopped using 1Password when Dropbox started the max 3 devices rule on the free accounts, I had my 1P vault in Dropbox.

I switched to self hosted Bitwarden on my own home. Works offline and if I need to update passwords while out I can reach the server through wireguard.

+1 for BitWarden, it's perfect for what I need. Instant sync across devices and browsers, TouchID support, no cruft or nags. It just works.
