I’ve been trying to switch from KeePass to Bitwarden so that my partner and I can share some passwords but KeePass just works, so it’s been hard to change over.
If I may ask, how do you share passwords when using KeePass?
I was using KeepassXC, but I liked the the TOTP backup/share with partner functionality and iOS strongbox app.
> The most trusted open source password manager for business I expected a blog article with actual feedbacks from companies and data, but ended up on bitwarden.com main page. Baseless claims can be quite common when it comes to marketing, but I'm genuinely curious: which password manager is used in your workplace, if any? I've personally never seen in my (for now short) career anything else than Keepass.
OP here; this hype bothered me, but to avoid being accused of editorialising the target link, I try to include any strap line in full in the HN link description field.
For self-host - is it better than KeePass?
I've found the multi device syncing easier and the integration with iOS works very well.

I attempted to set her up with her own database but it's difficult to manage accounts that we both share in two separate databases.

I am not poglet, but I use Strongbox to manage Keepass databases in iOS and macOS and share it via iCloud Drive. I was using KeepassXC, but I liked the the TOTP backup/share with partner functionality and iOS strongbox app.

For self-host, use Vaultwarden [1] [1] https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden
If you do self-host, please consider still buying premium from Bitwarden. It's only $10 per year. It's well worth the money and since you're still using the clients, which are still developed Bitwarden, it'll help towards keeping the product alive.

I wouldn't consider 4 $ per month a low cost for a password manager
Really? Its less than the cost of a pint. Not exactly expensive considering the benefits. Sure it could be free, but its not expensive.
The paying part is when you want to sync key-chain between device and require an iCloud subscription which start at $0,99 and bundle other features.
While I would never trust a "free service" (fremium backed with pro account/bundling is still ok AFAIC), it's still hard to consider $4/month for a syncing service cheap. It's literally the price of a cheap VPS service!
PS: From another angle if security is really your priority maybe $4 is not expensive enough. Password manager don't protect you from an hostile OS vendor and on top of that you now have to trust another entity. High levels of security require a global approach and paying more for a Password manager might provide a false sense of security.
Isn't $5 per month per user (enterprise) quite expensive for a glorified key-value store?
For self-host - is it better than KeePass?
Depends, self hosting the main project will require a Microsoft SQL Server instance amongst other things which ends up with a quite heavy endeavour. There's an alternative implementation of the server API called Vaultwarden that works nicely with all the frontends but is unofficial. If Keepass works for you, you're likely not gaining much from switching. They're both just password managers at heart.
