I'll say maybe Bitwarden checks all of that.

I love Bitwarden! The $10/yr subscription is totally worth it too.
Can someone sell me on the subscription? I don't mind paying for it because that's really cheap but I don't really understand what exactly it offers. I've been using the free version of Bitwarden for years now.
Agreed, I've been using it for about 6 years after moving from iOS to Android and its great, fits all the points required by OP.
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.
You've just described bitwarden.
Bitwarden 100%
I use the managed version of Bitwarden and I like it a lot compared to others.
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 $10/year premium if that's something you wanted, but beyond that the free plan has everything 99% of people will use. They do third party security audits, have public white papers, and is completely open source.
Email and TOTP 2FA options are available in the free version, YubiKey, FIDO2 and Duo options are only available in the 10$/year premium option.
I'm sure they meant TOTP 2FA for the accounts saved in Bitwarden, not for the Bitwarden login itself.
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!
Bitwarden is great. If OP wants they can self host it via Vaultwarden which Iβm using. It works perfectly.
*Sees post. Guess I should make sure someone has said Bitwarden.
*Checks comments. Hmm, Bitwarden, Bitwarden, another Bitwarden.
*Good. I donβt need to reply.
*Replys anyway
Bitwarden ftw!
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)
KeepassXC with a browser plugin on the desktop and Keepass2Android on the smartphone. The password files are synced over my self-hosted Nextcloud and backed up to OneDrive. I couldn't be happier with this setup.
Happy KeepassXC User reporting and there actually is a browser plugin that works flawlessly.
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
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.
I use keepassxc, works well for me.
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
For syncing I use Syncthing. It's open-source as well and syncs two/multiple devices without the need for cloud-storage
Another vote for Bitwarden just in case anyone needed one more comment to get them to use it.
Bitwarden is the exact app you just described. I use it. It's great.
I don't want to self host
IMO Keepass is not for you then. Bitwarden all day
One vote for BitWarden.
Plus one for BitWarden for a great low price/free option thatβs 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.
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 donβt want to self cloud host.
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.
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.
Bitwarden, Psono, Proton Pass. 1Password is not open source but theyβre 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
A selfhost option: Bitwarden frontend with Vaultwarden backend.
I tried bitwarden and others and finally just settled on the firefox password manager. It does everything I need.
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.
+1 for bitwarden. If you want full control you can even host your own server. Easyish to setup at Bitwarden Docker Setup
Vault warden. (Implements bitwarden).
Works with bitwarden apps / browser plugins. Locally hosted. Rust.
Itβs been a long time since I switched to 1Password, but I used to use keepass. Iβm not sure whether keepass has a browser extension, but otherwise (if I recall) it checks your other boxes.
1Password is great, even though itβs not open source, and you get to a spot in life where $3/mo is feasible.
