I held off on using a password manager for a long time. I used an open source one for my buisness for a while but almost lost the file in a computer failure, lucky I had a backup.... . somewhere.

After that I looked at a cloud option and finally settled on one, then the business died down and I kept using it for my personal stuff. I can't believe I didn't use one earlier. Life is so much easier now, no need to go between my bad password, Medium, and strong. Everything just gets a random password now and no need to worry about a string of 2fa messages hitting my phone when a password gets pwned.

I use iOS, but I will say Bitwarden all the way, even if it’s implementation is not perfect on iOS. I’m sure it’s even better on Android.

I use 1Password. Love it so far! it's been a smooth experience and it is cross platform.

I'm using KeePassXC and syncing the db over cloud storage, but sometimes updating the db gets tricky if it is contemporary opened on more devices, one instance in each different app (e.g. mobile and desktop at the same time, db stored on nextcloud/GDrive/OneDrive or even just synced over syncthing). I'd prefer the apps would simply access the db like the FF Extension does, while the db file is opened only by a single server, always running app somewhere reachable.

That's why I'm also always thinking about maybe I should switch to Bitwarden, which is equally reliable as security goes and even more usable, but then I get a bit off put the SaaS nature of it, and its limitations too, for instance even the paid tier has only 1GB of storage space, while I use KeepassXC as vault to store a lot of legal documents too, which in time could easily gets to 1GB, but on the other hand its server nature approach makes it a lot more usable on the user end.

I use enpass and maybe I didn't search hard enough but I didn't see anyone here mention it. I for the most part use it for 2fa, and because it syncs to my own cloud storage account, does anyone have bad experiences with enpass?

Yes, they should be used. KeepassXC FTW
