Bitwarden is 100% FOSS and was audited by Cure53.

This takes care of the paywall problem, at least.

Alternatively, age (https://age-encryption.org) or Magic Wormhole (https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole) should be viable choices.

Bitwarden is amazing. It's still a young project, but the fact that it's FOSS and that you can host it yourself, gives it a real compelling reason for personal and enterprise use.

Password managers are a godsend, but it’s still very challenging getting the older generation to use password managers. Anyone who says otherwise hasn’t given it a try.

Things like iOS/safari autogen/auto save has done A LOT to make passwords secure for the middle tier, but older gen is still a challenge.

I am using KeePass synced with Dropbox. Does Bitwarden have a way to import these as well as export out my stuff in case I opt to change to another password service?

Their help docs contain information about importing passwords from KeePass: https://github.com/bitwarden/help/blob/master/_articles/impo...

I don't know about exporting.

Yes, I have done it.

I was doing KeePass over Dropbox for years. Keeping android in sync was a pain. The integration was too disruptive for my wife to adopt. Dropbox also started limiting the number of devices I can have synced. Bitwarden solves all of that. Cleaner UI, easier to use, always synced between devices, etc.

Yes, it supports import from Keepass. I did 1Password -> Bitwarden and then settled back on KeePassXC.

The import and export are not always frustration free but it does work. Do keep the old copies around for a while just in case something is amiss.

Bitwarden is quite young, but after a couple of years of solo-deving they are finally expanding, and the next year or two might see it get a lot of extra features that are very helpful - atleast if info that was talked about in their customer forum is accurate. I use it both at work and personally.

+1 for Bitwarden. I host it myself, it's got great support for apps on IOS / Android. The browser extension works well.
