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.
