I would love to just use Keychain, except Apple’s support for it on the PC is absolute garbage. And it’s kind of stupid, because it could be an easy lock-in to Apple’s ecosystem (for people with iPhones who don’t have Macs). But it’s not a usable option so I’m just stuck using Bitwarden instead.
Got a tip for us?

I use bitwarden for two reasons. (1) it works on Firefox - I don't use Safari and (2) it fills way more password fields than keychain does - keychain won't fill my router password box, nor will it enter the three bits of info some of my online banking sites need.
Bitwarden also does 2FA, and I'm tempted to pay for the app ($10/year) instead of freeloading as I currently do, to get it.
That makes sense. 99% of my online activity takes place on my phone so Keychain fills that slot nicely. I'm glad there's alternatives out there though.
There are two or three issues that stop me using Safari. I doubt they'll ever fix them, but if they did I'd switch back.
Same with keychain.
I do like the idea of using stock apps where possible, and there are advantages that I know I'm missing out on, but I try not to let the lure of staying "stock" keep me from apps that otherwise suit me better. Plus, I can be awkward
