They recommend BitWarden as a password manager. EFF, a trusted institution, recommends KeePassXC: https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-use-keepassxc

My problem with KeePassXC is that it won't work on Android. It looks like BitWarden will work.

Currently I use LastPass, but now it you must pay to use it in Desktop and mobile.

is BitWarden a better alternative?

For android use Keepass2Android which is compatible with KeePassXC.

If I had to pick between LastPass and BitWarden, I would go with Bitwarden.

I personally use KeePassXC and Keepass2Android with the pw files synced across 3 phones and 3 laptop/desktops using syncthings and have had no problems.

I use keepassXC and keepass2android using seafile's webdav & seadrive to synchronize between devices. Works quite well.

Why anyone who takes personal digital security seriously would trust a central third party system with all their passwords is beyond me. It's not exceptionally difficult to self-manage passwords effectively. No central system is secure from a major breach and it's laughably naive to think it is, and also, breaches can come close to happening at any time, or just happen. For example: https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/28/22857485/lastpass-compro....

BitWarden's Android app is great. I've been using it for 2+ years now, and while earlier versions were buggy, the latest ones work well.

Why wouldn't you just use keepassdx for android
