Using Enpass, migrated from 1Password when in need of a Linux client some 10years ago. As early user I was grandfathered into a free lifetime account and eventually was required to pay a discounted lifetime fee $70 through Apple, which I’m fine with, it’s Indian developers need to pay their rent too.

Enpass has all features I need, on all platforms including iOS. It syncs using the api of one of the free storage providers, WebDAV or even over WiFi. Having some 600 entries and a few attachments (copy of ID Cards etc) and never had any performance issues. Nor issues with subdomains. Regular updates, most recently added PRF (Pseudo-Random Function) for passkeys. It lacks a command line client, which I can live with. Nor does it support the fingerprint reader on Linux, instead has a pin option for quick unlocking.
