Yes 100% worth the $ imo.... its crazy that my younger self had like 5 variations of passwords for all sites lol
The free version is already really good, but I still have the $10/y premium plan because it's so cheap and they deserve it :P

I've been using Bitwarden for a while and I have no complaints, works pretty well.
I'm happy with Bitwarden.
Bitwarden ftw!! Best $10 a year...... Looking to self host also...but would still donate the $10 a year, because its 100% worth it in my opinion
Another happy Bitwarden user here!
Yup bitwarden is a good option. Curious if Proton's new manager will be any good.
As far as I've seen, Bitwarden does exactly what I need it to and does it well

Bitwarden for where convenience is important, which is the majority of my logins (forums, social media, memberships). In turn I also have self hosted Keepas for "key" logins (Bitwarden, online banking, Google).
I also pay the $10 a year or whatever to be able to store TOTP codes in Bitwarden. I love having them copied to my clipboard automatically while logging in! (Yes I know it's less secure. I don't care lol. I don't feel like getting locked out of everything because I broke my phone.)

Self hosted Vaultwarden. It's great.
bitwarden has been great, no complaints!
I've always just used Bitwarden even before I cared about privacy
Bitwarden since its open source, easy to use and cloud sync is sooo great
Firefox browser. 😬😬
Keepassxc with databases in nextcloud for easy sync between devices
I primarily use Bitwarden with a self hosted Vaultwarden server on my NAS. But since Bitwarden doesn't support an auto-type feature (not the same as auto-fill) I use KeePassXC on my desktop PC for applications too.
Bitwarden user here. I used to use LastPass, but it's hard to beat free software that does the same thing just as well.
I've been using KeePass and KeePassdroid for at least 10 years now. "Sync" my dB through one drive, only because at one time we were allowed to use our personal one at work, but since they blocked personal folders in favor of corporate ones it is much less handy.
1password is the only one I trust
I use pass
https://www.passwordstore.org/
Android client: https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-Store
Yeah pass is great. It's basically just a git repo of text files encrypted with gpg. That means if you know those other tools there's nothing extra to learn/ nothing bespoke to depend upon or maintain. I sync my secrets between laptop and phone via a Diskstation NAS without needing to install anything special.

My approach is a bit more complicated than of many commenters here: I use both Keepass and Bitwarden.
Bitawarden is for most of the passwords, and I use it to share some passwords with family.
Keepass is for the most sensitive stuff - online banking and emails. Also, I use it for non-web apps. Keepass DB is synced with Syncthing between desktop and mobile.
TOTP is handled by Aegis android app. I was thinking to move it to Keepass, but I really like interface of a dedicated app. And it's data automatically backed up to Nextcloud
I also use KeePass and Aegis, and I love them both. I also considered using KeePass for TOTP but I think it makes more sense security-wise to use a separate app.
KeePassXC and Keepass2Android auto-synced with my Nextcloud instance. Works great cross-platform for Linux/Windows/Android.
I know what you mean, trusting a SaaS provider with my master password list always felt like a bad plan.
Kepass (and Keepass2Android) + Nextcloud instances to keep sync and backups
KeepassXC on desktop and KeepassDX on android. Sync with Nextcloud. Its great. Smooth as silk since I stopped messing with Nextcloud.

I started using Bitwarden a few years ago and it's been excellent.
Been with 1Password for a few years now, coming from LostPassword. I feel it strikes a balance with the whole being secure and being convenient.
Big fan of Bitwarden here.
Bitwarden, I use it everywhere. I even wrote a Bitwarden app for my Linux phone.

KeePassXC with the db synced by syncthing
Bitwarden. I've used a bunch of password managers, Bitwarden has been by far the best for me.
The mobile, desktop, and web app are all awesome and work great.
Self-hostable, open source, great feature set. Pricing is super reasonable for their cloud hosted features. Ui is simple, clean, makes sense, and so far I've had zero issues with syncing, saving, etc.
IMO, it's a great example of a FOSS application that looks and functions as good or better than the nicest closed source proprietary software.

I've been happy with Bitwarden thus far. Used Lastpass back in the day, but migrated over when the renewal prices started creeping up.
KeePassXC and Nextloud to sync things between devices…
Using bitwarden for company and private purpose in Smartphone and laptop with Browser integration since two years ans beeing really happy
Switches from KeePassXC to Nextcloud Passwords recently and I absolutely love it. Sync and Browser Plugin are much more reliable.
I know a bunch of people here have mentioned Bitwarden, but I would like to mention one feature that makes it superior to all others. You can integrate it to services like SimpleLogin, AnonAddy, Firefox Relay, DDG etc. and auto-generate email aliases within the Bitwarden extension. In theory it is more secure to not do this but it is such a huge QoL feature to just hit the randomize button in the extension to create an alias for a new login. It also populates the info field on simplelogin with something along the lines of "Auto-Generated by Bitwarden for: [website]"
Selfhosted vaultwarden instance
Bitwarden here. Was also a LastPass user. Switched when I retired so I did not have to worry about still keeping any old accounts from work. P.s. Also I like that I can have Bitwarden sync on my phone and my laptop.
pass
I like the fact that it is a minimal and simple program that does one thing, and does it well. If you already use GnuPG for encryption, you will get used to it quickly.
The only downside for me is that it doesn't encrypt password names, only the content.
It also has many plugins and android/ios apps.

Keepass2 and keepass2android combined with input stick to type my passwords wherever I need them. It's a wonderful combination. I host my password file on Google drive and other places but I keep a key file on the local device. It's not perfect and wouldn't never stop a threat from a state actor but I don't think I've got time for that kind of security anyway.
Incidentally the input stick can function as an on the fly rubber ducky if you really want it to. It does some really really cool stuff.
