I'll say maybe Bitwarden checks all of that.

Bitwarden is a no brainer. It offers ALL the features that an average user needs in its free plan (which imo all other password managers don't.)

Its also a privacy friendly service which has passed multiple security audits from external entities

Bitwarden

Bitwarden.

Bitwarden checks all the boxes. I've had great experience with it. https://bitwarden.com/

I will say, auto-fill on load is a bad idea. On desktop I keep my auto-fill bound to a key so it doesn't actually end up in fields it shouldn't be.

2FA is locked behind the $10/year premium if that's something you wanted, but beyond that the free plan has everything 99% of people will use. They do third party security audits, have public white papers, and is completely open source.

Yet another vote for Bitwarden. I love that you can access your stuff through a browser without installing anything, I need that sometimes on my work pc where I cannot install anything.

Bitwarden, hands down. been using them for like 7 years now? have got nearly 300 accounts in the password manager, and is fully free. Haven't paid a single penny to them. Autofill is possible, on both android and web browser, although you'll have to set it up through an extension. Fully cross-platform. Used it on Linux, windows, MacOS, IOS, iPadOS, Android. you can access it via a browser, is open source and is hosted by Bitwarden if you want to.

it ticks all your requirements!

You've just described bitwarden.

*Sees post. Guess I should make sure someone has said Bitwarden.

*Checks comments. Hmm, Bitwarden, Bitwarden, another Bitwarden.

*Good. I don’t need to reply.

I'd say https://keepassxc.org/ covers all of your needs except the "Can be accessed via a browser" (Autofill works fine with a browser plugin)

One more point on Bitwarden - when the top password managers were being hacked/exploited, Bitwarden was keen to fix what appeared to be vulnerabilities in an extremely timely manner. I don't remember where I read the article but it still fared best out of all the other managers out there.

It may have been ars technica, I don't remember.

Bitwarden, bonus points if you self host it. I use the Vaultwarden variation.

Guess I'm gonna have to give bitwarden a go, I've used LastPass for years but their quality of service and value for money has plummeted.

+1 for Bitwarden

KeepassXC on PC KeepassDX on android Nextcloud for sync

Non self-hosted: Bitwarden

Self-hosted: Keepass

Both are open-souce, multi-platform, and free. Bitwarden does have additional paid tiers to include support for things like OTPs. I used to use Keepass but got tired of manually syncing my database; If that's not a problem for you then it's a great choice.

Keepass is

• open source and free
• just uses a file, so you can sync it wherever/however you want
• has a browser plugin with autofill if you're into that
• is supported on all platforms
• database lives in an encrypted file that you put wherever you choose

Another vote for Bitwarden just in case anyone needed one more comment to get them to use it.

Bitwarden, self hosted.

I use keepassxc, works well for me.

I don't want to self host

IMO Keepass is not for you then. Bitwarden all day

Bitwarden is the exact app you just described. I use it. It's great.

Plus one for BitWarden for a great low price/free option that’s open source.

1Password if you have a few extra bucks to spend. I find the look and feel to be worth the money despite not being open source.

One vote for BitWarden.

KeePass all day. Completely open sourced and free.

I use

KeePassium on iOS

KeePassiumXC on desktop

Keepass2Android (no net) on Android.

All synced via Nextcloud but you can sync via sync thing as well if you don’t want to self cloud host.

Last year I tried (and paid) 1Password.
For the past 6 months I'm using Bitwarden and it's really good. I find 1Password's UI better but if we consider the cost it's better to stay with Bitwarden.

A selfhost option: Bitwarden frontend with Vaultwarden backend.

Bitwarden, Psono, Proton Pass. 1Password is not open source but they’re amazing too and most secure because of a layer of protection

KeePass for me synced to whatever cloud you want. I use DropBox and the Android client has an option for that to save you work

I've been using KeePass since the dawn of time. There are now other good options too, but I haven't seen any compelling reason to switch. It does everything I need both securely and well.

I tried bitwarden and others and finally just settled on the firefox password manager. It does everything I need.

+1 for bitwarden. If you want full control you can even host your own server. Easyish to setup at Bitwarden Docker Setup

After 2 years of ignoring the fact that I use a duplicate password in over 100 places, and that password has officially been in breaches, I finally came to terms with the fact that it was time to find a password manager and generate unique passwords. I didn't do a ton of research and ended up with bitwarden. If I opened this thread to see a bunch of people ragging on bitwarden I was prepared to be VERY upset.

It’s been a long time since I switched to 1Password, but I used to use keepass. I’m not sure whether keepass has a browser extension, but otherwise (if I recall) it checks your other boxes.

1Password is great, even though it’s not open source, and you get to a spot in life where $3/mo is feasible.
