Proton Pass truly doesn’t get enough credit for being completely open source, more user friendly, and hosted outside the US (wouldn’t want to lose access to your vault [1]).
Proton pass is a poor man’s attempt at a password manager, with horrible user experience (oh we thought just a browser extension was enough!) and random limitations to fit in with Proton’s tortured business model.
I was a Protonmail founding member. I used and evangelised them for years until I realised that they are more interested in chasing the next shiny thing (hey we have a crypto wallet now!) instead of fixing longstanding bugs and performance issues in their mail client.
As for hosted outside the US, I’m pretty sure the vaultvarden instance running under my desk is also hosted outside the US (unless I’ve somehow been magically transported to the US). Plus, I get to physically lock the door when I leave the house and my cat usually sleeps on top of the sever which adds a level of furry protection which proton pass could never achieve
Oh, impressive how browser extensions can live outside of browsers now. And on mobile too!
After having used Bitwarden for more than 4 years, I only switched last week, so I'm still in the honeymoon phase. But it has everything I used in Bitwarden and more, most notably all the usability features that I was missing in Bitwarden.
Don't think you can self-host it, but that would also pretty much defeat the user-friendly aspect. You don't need the server source if the vault is client-side encrypted, besides you would get zero guarantees that what they show and what they're actually running are the same thing.
