Ask HN: What is your recommended password manager?

I'm in the market for a password manager and I'm not sure which one to choose. I know of 1Password and LastPass but are there any others I should consider? Why?

You could probably expand on your minimum requirements a little.

I use and recommend Apple's Keychain (with iCloud Keychain if you want syncing), but that only works if you're exclusively using reasonably recent versions of iOS/macOS (aka OS X).

An alternative that I've looked at (as a basis for a business tool) is KeePass. The original app is open source, and a number of keepass-compatible tools have popped up, giving reasonable coverage for most platforms.

Obviously, as a third-party tool, it's unlikely to have quite the same level of integration as an OS/Browser vendor's solution.

Look at enpass. I've introduced it to several people who've all been impressed.

Dashlane is a good one, however no linux support.
