I don't understand why anyone uses a proprietary password manager.

I want to pay for it to increase the probability people can work on it in a sustainable way focussing on my interests at least to some extent. I also want a fully managed product working on the devices I use.

I am not sure since I didn't look for another product for a long time now. Is there something that provides the above while still being open source?

While lacking in some features, Bitwarden is a great project!

Bitwarden should fit these requirements. It‘s also an all around much better product, in my experience.

World‘s most popular password manager? That‘s kind of disheartening, given both their user experience and track record security-wise…

Then again, I‘d been using them for many years myself until quite recently, mostly due to not knowing that much better free alternatives exist by now:

For all around functionality/quality, I‘d still go with 1password; for a free (as in beer and speech) option and/or if you value self hosting, I can recommend Bitwarden.
