    Comments about KeePass as an Alternative to Bitwarden
    Comment summary: Users praise KeePass for offering cross-platform support through forks like KeePassXC and highlight its ease of use and frequent updates. KeePass can be configured to work with cloud solutions, enhancing its appeal for those preferring non-cloud password storage. Some users find KeePass less intuitive than Bitwarden due to its reliance on plugins for additional features.

    Useless if you can not come up with syncing solutions through various third party plugins and addons (good luck finding any updated ones). If you love wasting time and constantly copy pasting files between directories, this is your gold mine.

    I use it for long years. First only at windows and now android too. I sharing the same cloud database and this made my use very easy and fast. I use a very very long master pass for safety and force me to remember but if i dont, i always can take a fast look and solve the problem.

    KeePassXC is the best KeePass port for Linux (and perhaps MacOS). On Windows, KeePass 2 (original) is unbeatable.

    KeePassXC is the best cross-platform Bitwarden alternative. It is open source like bitwarden but makes storing your passwords offline easy and secure. Also it is totally free!

    It is the best alternative for BitWarden because it's cloud based, thus auto sync across devices. Open source. Privacy focused.

    While Proton has existed for very longtime. Proton Pass service is fairly new compared to BitWarden. So some feature might be lacking. UI/UX feels more modern but usability is simply okay. This is totally subjective.

    Premium feature comes free if you already have Proton Unlimited for their other services.

    Some negatives:

    • No self host option
    • More expensive

    LastPass and other similar online password managers lock you in. They don't allow an easy import and export functionality not to mention being less private and to some degree secure compared to audited and reputable ones like KeePassXC, KeePass, and Bitwarden. And then there is Proton Pass, a newbie trying to make a mark with good features.

    1Password is much more refined, has a good UI & UX and all the features one could need. 2FA & automatic password leak detection are awesome and arguably necessary nowadays.

    It’s so simple that even my grandma can use it perfectly well on her own
