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 use KeePass on all my devices. I locally sync the DB with syncthing. But I gived an eye to pass and is really cool tho.

      Same here. This requires no server, and is fully e2ee.

        Just make sure you back it up vigilantly to a secure location. Especially if you’re like me and occasionally need to wipe your computer/phone due to screwing up while tinkering with the OS. Especially especially if you use auto-generated random passwords that you yourself have no hope of memorizing, as recommended by security experts. In any case, your passwords database is one thing you really don’t want to try to restore from back up and realize it’s many months out of date.

      Same setup for me, keepass database synced with Syncthing and of course backed up to a few locations. It’s great because there’s a lot of great apps for it. I use KeepassXC on my computer and KeepassDX on my phone.
