I've been using `pass` for the past few years (I wrote a post on setting it up on OSX which has been fairly popular [0]). However last month I switched to 1Password (I signed up to the family plan trial - I'm not set on it though).
The main thing I like about 1Password is the browser integration. It just makes life so much easier being able to click a button and have the password automatically entered into the form. I have a script ([1] - should be easy to adapt for this) which would poll Chrome for the current URL, decrypt or generate the password, and copy it to the clipboard - but clicking a button is a lot less friction.
1Password also has a xkcd-style password generator option, which is great for things like Netflix that you need to type in on TVs and such.
The main reason why I signed up for 1Password was so I could use it with my family, but the browser extensions only work on OS X 10.10+, so that rules out 2/3 family members (who run Windows 10 and OS X 10.6). You can access the passwords online, but it's no way near as user friendly. If anyone has a good recommendation of an alternative (I'd prefer open source), let me know!

- LindenRyuujin 11y agoI've not used it myself but I believe LastPass is the most user friendly option. I have no tech family that use it and love it's ease - not sure about OS X 10.6 support but certainly has windows and OSX support (https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php). I like KeePass2 which is open source but nothing like as smooth as LastPass (No browser integration on OSX and integration on firefox for windows works but isn't perfect).
