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?

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

Unfortunately 1Password is way better than Bitwarden from a usability perspective (autofill alone is a gamechanger).

Isn’t that one of the very things that make these things insecure? Bitwarden doesn’t do anything until I explicitly ask it to.

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 h…

Or KeePass/KeePassXC which requires no hosting and is also free.

True, it definitely has the best autofill of the popular options, but in my experience, Bitwarden is 90% there.

Personally, I‘d rather use something open source that feels less like a lock-in in the long term over those remaining 10%, but both are definitely great options.

Is there a convenient way to sync it across multiple devices?

if I was CIA or equivalent, I would create a password manager for the masses

I'd do a password manager and a VPN provider. Then spend a ton of money on ads on podcasts and youtube videos (which is odd since neither VPN hosting nor password managers make enough money to pay for that many ads).

They'd probably all have a similar catchy name. Maybe one that implies that it's from a foreign country known for having more consumer protections but is actually based 10 minutes outside of Langley Virginia.

Oh wait...
