I didn't pick Bitwarden right away. The comment that mentioned it prompted me to research password managers in general. I looked at primarily online (1Password, LastPass, Bitwarden, etc) and offline desktop client ones (Keepass). I do prefer the idea of using something like Keepass and not relying on a service but I found it rather frustrating to manage between my multiple devices. I knew if I were to actually make use of a password manager it needed to be a smooth experience because otherwise I would just return to using Chrome's built in one out of laziness. After researching the main online managers I decided to go with Bitwarden. It is open source so if it does do something dodgy I would hope it is found and reported. I do not have the time nor expertise to audit all of the code myself so I have to put some trust in others. Plus while it would be a real pain in the ass if accounts were compromised due to the developer being an asshole/idiot it wouldn't destroy my life. I have a strong password on my primary email account (not stored in Bitwarden) along with 2FA. Most of the logins stored in Bitwarden are for things like Hacker News, Reddit, Slack (personal not work), etc. Randomly generated 18+ character strings that are a pain to enter manually, especially on a phone.
