Bitwarden because it is open source.

Am I a boomer for still using KeepassXC synced via Dropbox?

I like Bitwarden because I can host my own server and control it all. Not sure if the other service does set-hosting. Maybe you can do the same with that?

Bitwarden isn’t a brand new solution. I don’t understand the comment in Firefox, though, Bitwarden has no issues with it that I’ve found.

Don't combine email, password manager, or 2FA authenticator together with the same company. All 3 should be completely separate from each other.

Bitwarden has a distinct advantage for this reason alone.

Been using Bitwarden and Firefox for years and years. Never had any integration issues.

Bitwarden+vaultwarden server = free enterprise access 👍

Been a longtime user of Bitwarden (free, and over the last year paid). It's a straightforward/good but a bit boring UI, connects very well and easily into browser, phone etc. Works well, highly recommended, and having 2FA on paid version is awesome.

Been trying out Proton Pass for the last few days since I already pay for Proton Unlimited. It's got a good UI and so far it's been working well in Firefox and on my phone. It's much better integration with Simple Login features so I like the slightly more seemless sign-up ability. It's not 100% feature parity with Bitwarden paid though.

Bottom line - I prefer proton pass as a heavy proton user already BUT if I just wanted a standalone password manager, Bitwarden is probably better. Both are good options though, and competition is good.

Bitwarden. I’ve used it for years, never been unreliable. I pay for it.

Bitwarden is an open source, very popular choice, tried and tested. The Firefox extension works great, as do the mobile apps. The free version includes most of the features if you want to try it out.

If you're considering paying for the most polished experience, 1Password is the nicest in my opinion. Stay away from LastPass. No opinion on Proton Pass, it's still new. But I still choose Bitwarden because I like that it's open source, and I COULD choose to self-host a server if I got paranoid (I probably won't).

I've never used Proton Pass so I can't comment on which is better. However, my wife and I have both used Bitwarden for a number of years and have no complaints. Works with Brave, Chrome, Firefox; works on Linux, Mac and Android. We don't have Windows or iPhone so can't comment on those. We can share selected passwords between us.

And it all just works.

Bitwarden is what I am using and I am having no problem with it so far.

I prefer Bitwarden just to not put all my eggs in the same basket

Thanks for all comments and opinions. I'll give a chance to bitwarden.

Bitwarden has better features and more clients are available for it. Proton Pass doesn't offer anything that Bitwarden does not except for a slightly nicer looking browser extension and mobile client.

I have access to both and tested them recently, so I think I got a pretty good picture of them both.

Bitwarden works fine with Firefox.

I prefer proton pass since I pay for proton and get access to everything so it's convenient and it makes alias emails for me. It's usually better not to keep all your eggs in one basket though.

I subscribe to both services, and each has its own unique advantages. Proton's ability to generate disposable email addresses for questionable or bothersome websites is a standout feature that makes it worth the investment. Additionally, Bitwarden's thorough third-party audit instills confidence, and its excellent autofill functionality coupled with the option to self-host data is highly appealing. Moreover, the ability to unlock your vault using a YubiKey adds an extra layer of security to Bitwarden. While Proton shows promise and has great potential.

I've been happy with bitwarden and have no desire to change, so doubt I'll even try Proton pass. Going from no manager to bitwarden was a bit of a setup pain, mainly just because I had a bunch of logins that I had to change passwords for. And I have had no issues with it in Firefox.

If you already use some other Proton services, Proton Pass may be an option.

Both are open source. I will use the free version. Proton pass seems to have a UI more polish.

I use Bitwarden because it easily syncs across devices, and it's also more secure.

I think it depends on the mobile device you use. I've read that proton is better on iPhone and bitwarden doesn't integrate that well with it but it's seamless on android. I also haven't had any issues with bitwarden and Firefox and they've been my combo since I started using bitwarden a couple years ago. I haven't given proton pass a full on try yet though and I pay both companies for their awesome services so I'm a bit of a shill for both. I don't think you can make a bad choice here.
