This seems like such a weird pricing model. My single highest-priority requirement for a password manager is access from both computers and my phone.
This is a feature not a productTM. I switched to using safari’s password sync across mobile and desktop. It only works on iPhones and macOS desktop safari, but I adjusted my workflow. It’s both free, and reliable as long as Apple supports it. But I trust Apple to exist or migrate better than a dedicated product company like lastpass. Both for a decent user workflow and for not being breached (much scarier to me). I k…
In this instance, you are better of relying on someone whose primary business is to save passwords. They are more likely to have thought about this.
For example, 1Password, explicitly offer an emergency kit[1] for your surviving family should something bad happen to you. They also used to have a zero-install reader called 1Password Anywhere, but that seems to have been discontinued.

I'm staring at my huge Aperture photo library (with tags, edits, versions and albums). Apple left me hanging. I would not assume anything of a huge company.

Keepass is another cross-platform option (open source), though the UI on non-windows environments is a bit... crap. Nontheless, it works, and it works well.
Yeah, the lack of a good Mac client made Keepass untenable for me. I tried several and they all sucked. A password manager is the one thing which I really need to work well everywhere , because I need access to my passwords everywhere.

I was going to reply "the problem with 1password is they have no Linux support," but it looks like Linux support actually got added late last year! (Or at least there's an open beta.) https://blog.1password.com/1password-for-linux-beta-is-now-o... Anyone used both 1password and Bitwarden? I'm using Bitwarden right now, but I dislike the fact that their desktop app is Electron based.

Been using kp for years, also the android version. I manually sync my .kdbx files, and all is good.
Does anyone have any recommendations from this perspective? 1password seems more Apple-oriented, but my devices are all Windows (chrome), and Android.
There's lots of discussion here about "terrible UI," but I imagine none of these password managers are consistently great across all platforms. E.g. Someone using an app solely on a linux desktop in Firefox will obviously have a vastly different experience than someone using the app primarily on an iPhone with safari.

Keepass is not a Web first app. There are extensions and workarounds but considering the nature of its file based database it can never be as smooth as solutions like bitwarden and others. At work we share a Keepass file on a nextcloud instance and it's a giant PITA.
When it comes to security, smoothness is kinda low on my priority list. I'm fine swapping windows to copy/paste values, or pressing a hotkey.
I very happily pay $10/year for Bitwarden. It is in my opinion superior to Lastpass, and I don't have the doubts of the corporate governance.
Anyone have a thorough guide to migrating to bitwarden. I’ve tried and failed . I have notes , multiple logins per site , about 1000 credentials .

Please don't anyone take this as a plea to 'improve' the UI of keepass :-) Sometimes "... crap", just works. Been using kp for years, also the android version. I manually sync my .kdbx files, and all is good.
