KeePass' UI is quite clunky, but last time I checked you couldn't even do proper keyboard navigation with Bitwarden, or auto-type outside the browser...

I'm not sure I quite understand your comment.

> Keyboard navigation

I use the `bw` command, and haven't had issues with the keyboard.

> auto-type outside the browser.

Is this mobile or desktop that we are talking about here? Mobile worked correctly for me. Integration for all of these password managers on desktop isn't great, and using the fingerprint to unlock, similar to 1Password, would be nice.

I mean the desktop UI, I haven't tried the mobile.

By keyboard navigation I mean basic stuff like using arrow keys, shortcut keys for menus, etc... It all felt very much mouse-centric.

And Auto-type is KeepassXC' global shortcut key to invoke auto-type in any application, even terminal windows. AFAIK most password managers don't even think of supporting this.

Bitwarden has a cli app. With this you can automate everything.

Regarding keyboard navigation in the ui. If your are into that just use the cli and create some helpful scripts for rofi, alfred, ueli or whatever you are using if you want to have a ui.

Bitwarden is so insanely good that this minor downside shouldn't keep you from using it.

My mum is really bad with PCs. Yet bitwarden has solved all her password problems. Especially on mobile. With KeepassXC she was just frustrated.

Are you saying I could for example start an RDP session with autofilled credentials? I just LOVE the Keepass feature CTRL+U with 'URL overrides' to open rdp, ssh, vpn or ftp sessions.

You can use a lot of different clients for KeePass. I use KeePassXC and Strongbox (highly recommend for iOS or macOS)

I thought other way around: Bitwarden UI is simplistic.
