Password Managers (lemmy.ml)

What is a really smart choice for password manager apps? Concerned about privacy and politically involved CEOs.

I've used:

LastPass
1Password
ProtonPass (Now using)

I thought ProtonPass was a good choice but I'm starting to read more about it. What's just a really solid choice all around, that you can feel good about? Free or paid.

Update: I decided to go with Bitwarden and Bitwarden Authenticator. The features and the experience are better than the three listed above that I've used before. Awesome advice here, thanks everyone.

Unfortunately LastPass had some issues over the past years with hacking where encrypted vaults were stolen. Between myself and my friends in tech, I know of a few conpanies that ditched it after that.

For individual/personal use, I'd reccomend KeePass (whatever fork of it is up to date and maintained lately) and using somethung like syncthing to sync it across devices. That may not be super user friendly for non-technical users though, and I'm not sure how well it works with iPhones.

For iOS devices the most up to date client is "Strongbox". I don't think it is FOSS, but is compliant with the standard. It's sadly a freemium app, but is quite well made in my testing. It cannot sync with syncthing, but does support several cloud services, its own service (which uses iCloud), and local file transfer over LAN. They also have a version of the app with all network connectivity removed for security (if you prefer)
