Maybe 1password offers UI to organizations. But for individuals and small groups, it seems to offer fees and less provable security.
Let me just mention Gopass ( https://gopass.pw ) which is a brilliant terminal-based `pass`-compatible password manager ( https://www.passwordstore.org/ ). Gopass is open-source, free, and based on open standards. Meaning, you can use your keystore practically anywhere. For instance on Android with the Password Store app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.msfjarvis.... )
The GPG keys are externally held.
I would like to throw out Bitwarden out there. Cross platforms, works on everything and can be self hosted if you so desire.

is a very worthwhile password manager. I like the UI.
In my opinion, it should be a bare minimum for something as important as a password manager to be free software. Others have mentioned Bitwarden and Keepass in this thread, both of which meet that criteria, but personally I'll stick with pass since I don't need a GUI.
Huh, you are saying that something that is so important you want for free, and that the company building this product for you should forgo money and work simply for free? Wouldn't the opposite make far more sense that something that is so important you should pay 'more' for? They are free options that you are welcome to, but for people who want more they pay for it.

+1 on 1Password's dedication to fixing issues. I had an obscure field selection issue on their web view and pinged the support email. It was fixed a few days later and they updated me on it. I switched to 1Password from KeePass after 5 or so years because I just got tired of maintaining the data locally and keeping it in sync on my devices that I need the passwords on. I just backup the 1Password database locally now…
I’ve been a happy one-password customer for several years and I switched to the family subscription model to get my parents away from their little notebook of passwords. I had self-hosted a PHP based password manager for a handful of years, before switching to 1P because I wanted a “real app” with tighter OS integration. I’ve had 3 gripes and this solved one of them. The other 2 are 1) Their insistence on 1PasswordX-…

Lots of people saying they will only use an open source password manager - fair enough, that's your prerogative. But I think it's unfair if everyone just complains that this isn't open source. First people complained that 1Password wasn't on Linux. Then they made a browser extension that works on Linux, and people complained it wasn't native. Then they make a native application, and people complain that it's not open…
However, this has been _years_, 8 or 9 by my quick check on the App Store.
First there was the "agilekeychain" and the python libraries (blimey) to read from it, so I could kinda do my thing on linux, but then it was deprecated and they spent 18months trying to create a CLI variant that on arrival basically never worked.
Then they pushed a subscription model which was rather expensive for the functionality too, and after paying for new versions a few times I felt a bit annoyed, and I still could not access my passwords from Linux anyway..
Then they pushed really hard for their own hosted sync (for new vaults at the very least); And without dropbox I couldn't even sync to linux. I'm not sure if they went back on that.
Eitherway, the problem is not that it isn't open source per-say.
The problem is that it's an incredibly closed ecosystem as it exists today, and an expensive one- maybe you're better off looking at equivalently featured, free, and more open options... of which there are many.
