Password managers are as important as adblockers in this day and age imo

I use Firefox Lockwise and Apple passwords. Whether or not it’s safer is a plus but I just like my passwords being autogenerated and saved, makes life easy. Yes I understand that once they have the password to that account they have all my passwords but the same could be said about an email.

Bitwarden is great, have recommended it many times. It's extremely reliable, I have easily 100+ logins stored there and it loads them all instantly. Its premium features are nice (it's also very cheap), and the export feature allows me to move to another password manager if I feel the need.
Bitwarden for the general stuff. Keepass for the sensitive stuff
Went from LastPass to Dashlane to self-hosted Bitwarden. $40/year for myself and a couple family members
Moved to Bitwarden from LastPass this year. Never looked back!
Good. Used keepass for years, also useful for storing other confidential info. Put the app & vault in one cloud storage, key file in another and you’re synced across multiple computers, add an app for your phone and you’re good to go and surely reasonable secure providing you use a long password too.
Yes yes yes and here is a tip so even if your account got hacked you are still safe, when you generate a password put that into your password manager but have a word in your mind and when you are making an account or changing password put that word that you had in your mind in the end of your password, you just need one word to memorize and that's it (sorry for my bad English)
I used KeePass for ages, but I could never get my wife to use it, too. Updating and using and synching it wasn't a big hassle, but it was enough of one to let my wife reject it, especially with plugins that needed updating. Another issue we had was that sharing passwords wasn't really convenient. I set up a Vaultwarden instance on our server and now she's happily using the password manager (finally!) and we can have an "oganization" to share passwords with. Really cool stuff. Besides, we ain't needing and plugins anymore.
The ability to interface with DuckDuckGo's Mail-Forwarding-API has further increased the control of my data in a very convenient way!
The only thing I miss from KeePass is the ability to auto-type inside of other applications besides the browser, but hey, that's not too much of an issue.
I appreciate Enpass because it allows me to decide where my data is stored while simultaneously synchronizing across all my devices. It's quite impressive. Now, they have incorporated Wi-Fi sync, which eliminates the need for cloud-based synchronization.
