Bitwarden. It's free, open-srouce, you can even self-host your own instance.. or pay 10$/year! for the full support. The free version has everything you will ever need.
The price for the premium is fucking crazy. 10$ a fucking YEAR?? Not month but YEAR!? What features do you get? Actually I don't care about the features just take my money that's cheap as shit
I have premium and I have no idea. I just pay it to support them.
It's an excellent password manager. I love it!
Same!
I pay for Bitwarden premium and the big thing for me is the ability to use it for 2FA/TOTP right from the browser extension (for sites where I feel convenience mostly trumps hardened security). It's glorious that Bitwarden autofills username and password, and then auto-copies the current 2FA code to your clipboard so you can just paste it immediately, instead of needing to pull up your phone and authenticator app to fetch a code, or check your email/texts for a code.
Proton has a similar feature (not sure if it's part of free or premium as I subscribed for proton ultimate so it just came with Proton Pass). It's honestly crazy how nice having TOTP right in the extension for the account's entry in the manager.
Also, I realize this is like the third time I've made a comment about Proton, so I'm probably gonna stop before folks think I'm like a shill or something.
It's not shilling if you genuinely believe in it. I use Proton's services as well. Love that company.
Oh fuck yeah, I forgot about this. No need to pull my cellphone anymore, all the 2FA gets automatically filled after entering password. That's magic.
It's so good that people think we are paid to promote it. Kinda sad that really. It's pretty evident that we aren't shills. Use my code: shill20
the big feature i use from premium is the ability to use hardware 2fa. i use a Yubikey to secure it further. worth the peace of mind imo, and Bitwarden has never once failed me in the years i've been using it!
I know of MFA being allowed on it when you go premium, and I think it allows a collection, so you can have a shared collection of passwords with someone else. It's been really handy for my wife and I, especially for things like bank and apartment logins.
Shared OTP is amazing
You can share passwords with other people, you get 1gb of attachments space disk (to store important documents, recovery keys, crypto wallet, etc), you have access to many reports that will tell you what password might have leaked, weak password and whatnot.
You can store attachments and, I think, more sharing feature? Honestly, I too pay to support them.
+1 to Bitwarden!!
If you're like me and your work uses Bitwarden, your personal family accounts are free too. And unconnected to the business account of course.
