Fun article I saw today.  I didn't even know Logmein was acquired by another VC troll to add to their bottom line.  https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/demand-for-fee-to-use-password-app-lastpass-sparks-backlash/

I moved off them last year as my 5yr subscription finally ended.  I really liked them originally as revolutionary.  I bought it before Logmein bought them, and regretted it ever since as logmein is a scab of a company I already hate (no linux support, ever).  They've only now whored themselves out further to vulture capitalists since their video conference solution fell apart (or never evolved).

I'm still down with keepassxc, but I miss mobile sync for passwords.  I should probably try Bitwarden, but I expect some other sack o' crap will just acquire them eventually if they grow.

For web-based systems Bitwarden has a good reputation.

https://bitwarden.com/

Nextcloud also has two password manager apps available.

https://Nextcloud.com/

I believe all 3 allow you to share passwords with other people if you need
that.

I have shared passwords via one of the Nextcloud apps for a project, but
don't remember which I used.

I still prefer KessPass-based systems. I use KeePassXC on my system and
KeePassDroid out of F-Droid on my phones. I have multiple KeePass files
and only share some things on the phones.

https://KeePassXC.org/

ciao,
