Before starting, I admit there are multiple password managers recommended on the PG site, but none fit my requirements, so I want to know if there is any good, reliable, trusted password manager beyond the PG‑recommended ones. I was a paid Bitwarden user, but the paid plan doesn’t justify what it o…

To address the original post: I still would not personally place RoboForm in the same trust tier as 1Password, Bitwarden, or KeePassXC, etc. ecosystems. Their architecture reputation, transparency and external security scrutiny seem subpar / not ideal? That does not mean RoboForm is insecure, to me …

[image] night_driver: I dislike ecosystem lock-in What are you talking about? You can use or upgrade to Proton Pass Plus and not sign up for Unlimited. There is no lock in. It’s you who has to choose how you use their service(s). Reading your post, it is my opinion that you’re discounting al…

[image] night_driver: every time a browser’s site data is cleared, the account is signed out automatically from the Proton Pass extension. It’s very frustrating This is not at all true. I use the same settings and my extension works just as well. Brave or on FF.

Except the issues I’ve mentioned earlier, I’ve faced one more issue with Proton Pass — every time a browser’s site data is cleared, the account is signed out automatically from the Proton Pass extension. It’s very frustrating: I use multiple browser profiles and have “Clear data on exit” turned on i…

But I’ve faced this issue several times: to use the extension I have to keep my Proton account logged into my browser, and if I clear site data I have to sign in again.

If you clear all the data in a browser, how could a standalone browser extension should save your account details? One way to achieve is to add exceptions under Cookies and Website Data, add Bitwarden and Proton sites like below https://vault.bitwarden.com https://bitwarden.com https://account.prot…

Even if I ignore the SimpleLogin integration in Proton Pass, other issues hold me back from using it. First, I strongly support decentralisation - I already use Proton Mail and might use Proton VPN in future, so I don’t want to store my passwords with the same provider. Second, every time a browse…

I don’t know how, but I’ve used extensions of other password managers and I’ve never faced this issue with them — specifically Bitwarden and NordPass. I couldn’t test 1Password because they don’t offer a permanent account (only a 14‑day trial). To recheck my claim, I asked a friend who is a Proton …

What you didn’t like about Bitwarden and Proton Pass? Proton is not locking you into its own environment. If you wanna go, export your vault and done. BW Premium is like 20 USD, how much cheaper would it be for you?

What are your expectations from a password manager?
