I personally use passwordstore.org with a git repo on a personal VPS. But I wanted to set up a password manager for my boomer parents and looks like Bitwarden is one of the better options out there.

The problem is that the free tier sounds a bit too good to be true so I am worried that it might just disappear or discontinue one day. Any idea if this fear is unfounded or not?

If you have been using Bitwarden please share your experience with it. Would like to hear.

    I would go for https://keepass.info/ . IMHO the best open-source password manager out there. Because of its prorietary parts I wouldn’t trust Bitwarden.

      What proprietary parts

        There’s AuthPass that is using the KeePass database format and IMO more user-friendly and approachable to a newcomer.

          The great thing about keepass databases is that you’ll have plenty of options on all platforms for a password manager and you can use a different one on all devices or even two programs on one device if you want to do that for whatever reason

        tbh I’ve yet to see a KeePass-based password manager that’s not clunky-feeling. Strongbox is probably the best one for that but that’s for the Apple ecosystem.

        what’s the challenge? there is lots of ways to use keepass that aren’t immediately obvious.
