Lastpass Family - Privacy alternative (discuss.online)

Despite the massive breach where we found out that notes (where lots of people stored previous passwords) were not stored encrypted by Lastpass, I have stuck with them for years because its hard to switch services.

Recently I realized that both my wife and I were paying for 2 separate password manager services and we need to consolidate down to one.

Staying with LastPass and moving to a family account would only cost $4/m which is still 1/2 what we were paying combined.

Is there another manager that offers Apple, Android, and Browser based applications/plugins? Ideally also with an authentication app, though I can swap to any authentication if I need to so its just a nice to have.

Proton Pass or Bitwarden are both very good options. Here is my breakdown of their pros and cons:

Pros of Proton Pass over bitwarden

Much better UI/UX (in terms of looks and ease to navigate)
The app is feels much faster than Bitwarden's, maybe its not objectively, but it feels lightyears ahead in terms of speed
Possibility for separate email and username fields
more seamless integration with simplelogin aliases than what Bitwarden has
TOTP is available in the free version

Cons of proton pass compared with bitwarden:

No "Identity" item type (vault item where you can store info about yourself like your SSN etc.)
No payment card autofill
Can only register the "generic" 6-digit type of TOTP (Steam guard TOTP didn't work when I tried it)
No custom fields that auto-fill on the web page
less settings in general, for example, you can't decide of the hashing algorithm of your account's password, and you can't tweak the hashing parameters
more expensive
less "Foss": the server code is not published and there are no 3rd party servers like vaultwarden

Passkeys have been available in Bitwardens mobile apps for some time: https://bitwarden.com/help/storing-passkeys/
