Password Manager Free or Very Cheap?

I've used Bitwarden for years.

I started off by using the Rust open source variant of it and hosting it on my own hardware. (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden)
It's very close to the version you get if you just use the consumer version.

Life has got more complicated as I get older, and my time is more precious, so I just use the consumer version nowadays.

It's excellent. I've even started paying the $10 a year to give it a bit of financial support. Although I don't really use the extra features you get from paying for it.

I used to use Lastpass (free), and then switched to Bitwarden (also free). Both will do the job, I just trust Bitwarden more than Lastpass. I ran into too many issues with Lastpass not being able to fill in authentication fields on more websites.

Why not use the Passwords app that’s built into macOS? It works extremely well.

Because you're limited by what software/os/device you can use it on. Most browser extensions like Lastpass and Bitwarden work with every browser, on every platform. Plus if I'm on a device I don't own or have permissions, I can simply log into the website and snag my credentials.
