used to use LastPass, now on Bitwarden (who look like they're about to go full monetization), Dashlane are investigating something or other...

is 1 Password the only one left standing?

I'm on Android (GrapheneOS), Linux and Windows... so nothing super Apple specific please... but otherwise do recommend things.

Esp if you share the family plan with a few friends, it’s not too expensive.

Sharing links are great too.

I might get some hate for this but meh. I just want this stuff to work.

The firefox plugin works fine, and annoys me less than the bitwarden one (probably because it is a bridge to the desktop app, rather than a standalone client).

The only thing it didn’t do is provide an easy way to manage shared access by multiple users, so we use bitwarden at work, but I think the keepassxc app is noticeably better than the bitwarden one, I feel.

I think it even does 2fa management but i feel keeping your TOTP on the same db defeats the purpose.

Hoping at some point somebody can develop a standalone client app/add on so we aren't at the mercy of bitwarden

I already have syncthing on everything handling the sharing of the file... so really it's just about trying out the apps and then migrating

Browser Plugins are available, even passkeys - not sure about the android clients since I have so far avoided using passkeys.

Not sure if the best, but so far works without noticing any real problems.

Technically I have access to proton's password manager but I don't want to keep all things centralised.

So it feels more like choose your poison situation
