I've tried 1Password, LastPass, Dashlane before finally settling down on Bitwarden.
What password managers have you tried and which ones would you recommend to others?

What bothers me about both LastPass and Keeper is that they offer to save to "my device", when really they rely on a browser cookie, installed on one browser at a time. I scrub cookies on multiple browsers daily, so it's useless to me- but I'm even more bothered how misleading the "save to the device" option is. Why do they assume all customers are so clueless?
I used Keepass for a long time hosted in my Google drive but found that it's just not very convenient (autofilling etc). So after many disappointments of trying out LastPass (my least liked PM) and some others, I ended up settling on 1password. It has excellent device support across every platform I use and just integrated very well with everything. It is expensive but the convenience it provides is worth paying for imo.
I did consider that as well, but I worried about,
Therefore, it can easily be a dangerous idea.
I've used Dashlane for a few years and moved to 1Password.
The reason I moved was, basically the UX and the (WOW!) support I got from 1P when I needed it. By the time I switched, it was so easy to get 1P in all my devices, transfer all the information from one provider to the other.
Feature-wise I'm so satisfied with 1P that I've never thought of looking for something else. Pricing-wise, yup, at a first look, it seems that 1P is overpriced, but considering the immense value it brings to my day-to-day ops and the time it saves me, I believe it worth every penny. 😉
I used Keepass early on but looked for something more convenient across platforms until I found LastPass. Since then I’ve kept tabs on competitors but have so far ended up staying a paying LastPass customer in order to have the mobile syncing. I might end up using the family account as more family members need to be online in #covidlife.
I started with keepass for almost 12 years, it is a great program and very versatile. The main reasons I eventually started looking for something else are: insufficient integration with Android (it was ok but not great) and web browsers (none), no cloud backup out of the box. I had high hopes for Lastpass and tried it for a couple of months, but its integration with Android was painful to use. When I tried 1password it was like a breath of fresh air. And I love how it makes it easy to find accounts with weak passwords, see password history, and many more. As with any type of application the details matter and it got the workflow right, and integrations are amazing.
I was on Lastpass, but the price increases were just getting too much, so I switched to Bitwarden. The browser extension "feels" better than Lastpass's.
Back in the dark ages I used Keepass, but browser integration was a pain.
I have tried both LastPass and Bitwarden
I have switched to self hosted Bitwarden
The reason I switched is because,
KeePass with manual sync through OneDrive.
It can be a bit tedious to manage multiple clients but... No fees, no cloud (no extra cloud besides OneDrive that I already have), I'm satisfied for the moment
I use KeePass as well, with a USB drive that sits in my keyring containing the keyfile. A lovely piece of software.
I have had problems with that syncing is not instantaneous.
What KeePass client on mobile do you use? What about the desktop?
Windows : official keepass app
Linux / MacOS : KeePassXC
Android : KeePassDX
Syncing on Android is kind of automatic ssince the default file opened by KeePassDX is the OneDrive file directly
I also used
However, I have had problem with KeePassDX (which was in beta) for
So, I moved to BitWarden, which although syncing is not instantaneous, I can always force sync.
If you are using a beta version KeePassDX app, it is an outdated one. It's normal that it doesn't work well with Google Drive. I recommend just updating it. Linked to github.com/Kunzisoft/KeePassDX/iss...
The merge of data for saving from two places at the same time is still to be studied but will happen soon. ;)
1Password has been my main squeeze. Syncing new devices with QR or iCloud is heaven. Having everything generated with their own 2FA, watchtower, etc. I can't live without this platform.
It's not even just the main 1Password itself but 1Password X. Autofilling both username/password AND the 2FA code saves so much time. I trust their encryption and transparency for security as well. I feel like they're more socially attached to developers than their competitors. Oh, UI, can't forget UI.
I totally agree, I'm also using 1Password (paid version) and it's totally worth it
