I semi-annually try most of the popular password managers (Dashlane, 1Password, Lastpass, Enpass, Bitwarden) and I always end up staying with 1Password. Both their desktop and mobile apps are very well thought out and there's all sort of small UX and UI finesses that make them a cut above the competition.

Having said that, you'll have to deal with a high subscription cost and proprietary (but audited) code. They are also unwilling to make a full blown Linux app.

How do you use it on linux? Just a browser extension? I've been on lastpass because the last time I tried, 1password didn't seem that convenient on linux.

If you have the hosted version of 1Password, you can use the 1PX extension which is completely standalone.

This is how I used it. Though to be honest, one of the reasons I left 1P was because it genuinely felt like they only ever support Linux on accident. I guess now there’s a command line tool, but still, I feel much better with Bitwarden or Enpass as someone who runs only Linux both at home and at work.

When I left, there were still lots of things that the extension did not do, that the desktop app did.

Enpass works pretty well on Linux, but you may run into some issues depending on your distro that has to be worked around.

For terminal stuff, 1Password offer a CLI client that you can build around.

You don't have to get the subscription - you can purchase a standalone license.

Do people not like dashlane? I feel like it’s the best of the bunch although does cost some money.

Indeed, at least this is what I have been told by some friends of mine. I also use Dashlane so much that I have convinced some of my family members to try it out over the others and they have never looked back.

I checked out Bitwarden a while back and the mobile app is very sloppy to use compared to Dashlane. The desktop app (Electron) just keeps eating up my Macbook's RAM and it takes a while to auto-fill passwords in other apps. Perhaps the open-ness of Bitwarden may allow compatible alternative password-managers to rival Bitwarden's own clients or even Dashlane.

Right now, I'd rather pay for Dashlane since it does the job better than what I have tried out so far.

I think it looked fine the last time I checked it out but it doesn't really do anything for me that bitwarden does and bitwarden is free and open.

It's too expensive for what it does and don't trust it mostly from its auto password changer does it on their servers.
