Bitwarden

Bitwarden is the easiest password manager to recommend to almost anyone. It's fully open source and end-to-end encrypted, with regular independent audits, including a 2026 cryptography review by ETH Zurich that tested it against a hypothetically malicious server, plus app audits by Cure53 and others. Its free tier is unusually complete, covering unlimited passwords on unlimited devices and you can even self-host the server if you want full control. In January 2026 Bitwarden raised its paid prices for the first time in a decade but Premium is still cheap and the free plan remains enough for most people. In April 2026 a malicious version of its command-line tool was briefly published to npm in the wider Checkmarx supply-chain attack. Bitwarden fixed it in 2026.4.1 and says it found no evidence that vault data was accessed. It's a US-based company, which some privacy-minded users weigh against its otherwise strong transparency record.
