Throughout the years I've tried most of the more popular ones on the market, some times forced via work and other times because I was curious. - KeePassXC: tried this when I was looking for a self-hosted, open-source alternative to LastPass years ago. Was surprised at how well it worked, but syncing was too much of a hassle so I gave up fairly quickly. - 1Password: my favorite of the bunch so far, great UI and UX, wo…

I sync KeyPassXC with Google drive across all my devices no problem.

Maybe cause I don't use this service a lot. What's the easiest way to use google drive to sync across Linux, MacOS and iOS?

Bitwarden. Very straight forward and open source

I was shocked at how many people still used LastPass when Bitwarden is out there, being better in pretty much every way.

Are you also shocked at how many people don’t use a password manager at all and reuse the same password?

I recently picked up my adult daughter’s phone and tried the password I knew she used as a teenager, it is still the one she uses. I’ve tried to get her and other family members to use password managers and better security practices. It’s like talking to a brick wall. They all think it is too much work. Of course, these are the same people that post their entire lives on social media.

I would love to use iCloud Keychain, but it doesn’t have extra fields, support OTP, or even really have a proper GUI. Rumor was Apple uses 1pass internally???

Keychain on iOS does support OATH TOTP out of the box. https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/automatically-fill-in...

And it has a notes field. Has it always had that and I just never clicked through somehow!

I’m a little unclear on what is authentication here. You need iCloud password — if I lose my phone will I need my old PIN as well? I remember going through a bunch of “reset keychain” instances at one point because I somehow changed my PIN and misremembered it.
