Hello everyone, what is your go-to password manager? What would you suggest for friends and family that aren't very tech savvy?

I recently moved my family from 1Password to Bitwarden. They're not tech savvy at all and haven't really noticed a difference aside from that "the password vault looks different".

Again, they're not tech savvy so they don't really use any specific 1Password features. They're also not constantly adding or removing logins, so Bitwarden has been pretty easy for them.

When is recently?

I checked my email just to be sure. So looks like I migrated my family in August 2024. Ah. Actually, further back than I thought.

So my mom, dad, wife, and me have been using Bitwarden for a little over a year without any issues.

My wife is a macOS user (for now...) and she's totally fine with Bitwarden. She doesn't care about password managers. It's just some random app that saves passwords to her. She probably wouldn't remember if she's using 1Password or Bitwarden. My wife occasionally will add logins to Bitwarden.

My parents were macOS users—now they're on Fedora Silverblue for 2 months!—but they're even less technical than my wife. They don't know what OS they're running or what a password manager app is. They just know wolf icon = internet, shield icon = passwords. They don't add or remove passwords. I added their 5 website logins and that's all they need.
