There’s only two real choices imo.
Bitwarden or Keepass (KeePassXC for desktop, you’ll need one of many app choices for your phone).
Keepass you would sync to your own cloud provider and use a key file for protection.
Bitwarden is the obvious answer that fits all your criteria.
Why are these the only real choices? What makes the others not real?
Only ones I trust that are open sourced and have some kind of audit.
Don't closed ones like 1Password also have audits? But I guess it's a personal philosophy.
Sure. But I wouldn’t trust closed source software for passwords. Personal decision.
What are thr benefits of KeePassXC over the regular "original" application?
I use Linux and flatpaks so XC is the obvious choice for me - much nicer to use across platforms that aren’t a windows and only one available as a flatpak. Nicer interface. Supports TOTP codes (all I use it for, Bitwarden for passwords). More active development.
I use KeePassium on iOS with the same vault.
