Bitwarden

8.9

/ 10

Bitwarden is the leading open-source password manager, offering unlimited password storage across all devices even in the free version. Premium at just CHF 10/year adds TOTP authentication, emergency access, and advanced reports. Bitwarden can be self-hosted – a unique feature for privacy purists. The interface is functional but not as polished as 1Password.
