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

Nobody else here is using Keepass with syncthing for cross-device syncing? I can't dont know of an easier, more more reliable and secure method.

Same here, KeePassXC via Syncthing, has been working like a charm for many years and I love it.

Yup, KeePassXC is amazing, especially with the add-on in your browser (librewolf I think you need to do something to work). I don't use my phone much for logging into things, but you can probably sync it on Android (I don't know how it works on iOS). I love it because you can download icons from websites, and it's very simple once you get used to it!

Same here, KeePass with SyncThing with a weekly copy of the database-file to a VPS I rent. Besides a password the database requires a key-file, which is copied between the various devices over a USB memory stick.

Why would I keep my passwords with an external company?

But yeah, this is a somewhat tech-savvy solution.
