I'm personally so happy with Password Store I cannot find a reason for the hype behind this.

I use Password Store a dozen times a day, but for sharing passwords with my family Bitwarden is great. Cross platform, easy enough for anyone to use regardless of the IT profficiency and open source enough that I trust it more than Lastpass etc.

Yeah, me too! I can even use it on iOS for that matter. It’s honestly good enough.

I actually tried setting up a bit warden server on a (not so old) computer but had just so much trouble with the docker image, couldn’t really find docs on how to set up without it, just ridiculous in my opinion. A few months later, I tried using pass full time and so far it’s been great!

Good to hear. There is a great app for it on Android, and I remember there being at least one for IOS.

On the desktop for browser integration there are at least a couple well-maintained extensions. There is also gopass for sharing passwords with a team or multiple people.

I've been using keepassxc for several months. I think it works well. Is pass functionally different?

Pass saves each password in a separate GPG encrypted file. I personally like this approach because it integrates into Git extremely well and they have `pass git` commands and also if you're syncing with a cloud service it only updates the actual passwords that have been modified, as opposed to something else which may need to sync a 300MB+ database whenever you update a single password or some metadata.
