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

KeePassXC (Desktop) and KeePassDX (mobile). Offline, local-only password manager. There's also a Firefox browser extension for it too.

If you need it to sync between devices, Syncthing gets the job done by syncing the DB file.

I don't trust any cloud solutions. You're trusting some random company with your passwords. Data breach is inevitable.

This one for me too! I've been very happy.

I try to minimize use of browser extensions, but i have the phone & desktop application. Nextcloud/whatever you run for syncing. I also back up those files through rsync to encrypted volume in a cloud provider (so double encrypted), so that if the worst should happen, I can still access the last version.

It's worth noting that you can manage OTP through it. When you add to your phone's OTP manager, you can also add it to Keepass, so you wont be up shit creek if your phone dies. Personally I would make a separate volume for your OTP, so you retain dual verification, even if someone should gain access to one of the two.
