I'm happy with Bitwarden.
Bitwarden ftw!! Best $10 a year...... Looking to self host also...but would still donate the $10 a year, because its 100% worth it in my opinion
Another happy Bitwarden user here!
As far as I've seen, Bitwarden does exactly what I need it to and does it well
I agree. It just hits the sweet spot between security and comfort for my needs.
I also pay the $10 a year or whatever to be able to store TOTP codes in Bitwarden. I love having them copied to my clipboard automatically while logging in! (Yes I know it's less secure. I don't care lol. I don't feel like getting locked out of everything because I broke my phone.)
people slag me off for putting my totp codes into keepass, they say it's less secure. i care only about not being able to replay. if someone got into my password manager, it's game over in so many more ways than a couple of totp configs
Yup bitwarden is a good option. Curious if Proton's new manager will be any good.
Bitwarden for where convenience is important, which is the majority of my logins (forums, social media, memberships). In turn I also have self hosted Keepas for "key" logins (Bitwarden, online banking, Google).
