Bitwarden. Very straight forward and open source
6 comments

Absolutely BitWarden unless you want to do KeePass+SyncThing and can do your own research and keep track of the app specific issues in how they handle sync conflicts.

I just use BitWarden and it's close to perfect.

Self-hosted vaultwarden is my choice.

I did a write up on it for anyone interested.

Second Bitwarden. Pretty cheap, good customer service. You can self-host if you prefer that route. The source code is on GitHub.
I have been using it for years. Love it.
I’m thinking of self-hosting, but can I keep using the iOS and desktop apps?
Yes, as far as I remember, you can enter the host you want to connect to in the settings.

EDIT: docs: https://bitwarden.com/help/change-client-environment/

Yes, just click on setting and type in a new URL.
I've been so satisfied with it that I showed it to my manager, he started using it as a private customer, and we adopted it as the company wide password manager some months later.
Self-hosted bitwarden plus Tailscale is something I’ve been considering. To avoid exposing the server to the internet.
I was shocked at how many people still used LastPass when Bitwarden is out there, being better in pretty much every way.
Are you also shocked at how many people don’t use a password manager at all and reuse the same password?

I recently picked up my adult daughter’s phone and tried the password I knew she used as a teenager, it is still the one she uses. I’ve tried to get her and other family members to use password managers and better security practices. It’s like talking to a brick wall. They all think it is too much work. Of course, these are the same people that post their entire lives on social media.
