Bitwarden and iCloud Keychain. Bitwarden has a generous free tier and there are other forks you can host yourself (bitwarden_rs written in Rust is a popular one). It’s not as feature rich as 1Password, but you’re not pushed to buy a subscription. The client is a bit sluggish on every platform I use it on, but it’s not terrible though.

I also tried Firefox Lockwise, but not having clients on multiple platforms is a barrier for me. It’s not feature rich either.

Enpass.io, currently, as it allows me to keep my password vault on my own server, and it also allows me to access my passwords from anywhere the app is installed. I moved to Enpass from Lastpass.

I've not heard of enpass.io. What are the strengths and are there well researched reviews / security evaluations?

It is popular. You get to keep your vault on your own machine than put it somewhere out there. But of course if you back it up remotely, it would mean almost the same.

Go with Bitwarden and never look back. Avoid LastPass

Bitwarden is nice for personal use, but after a failed implementation at our company, and their frankly horrible support. We ended up canceling the whole thing and going back to the market to find new options. Biggest beef with bitwarden, aside from a frankly odd pricing structure, is "shared contacts" which aren't shared, if you "share" a contact, you transfer it to control of the group you shared it with, and then…

Use CardDAV?
