I see BitWarden recommended quite a bit here. Does anyone know if it is possible to share passwords between 2 accounts when using the self-hosted version? Or is it limited to teams?

It is, you can add groups as a paid feature (not sure about self-hosted version). Recently switched from LastPass to BitWarden.

  You can share between two accounts with the free version. https://i.imgur.com/0UanFJK.png https://i.imgur.com/0UanFJK.png

    I imagine the parent's question was moreso "share any credential between any two accounts" (as a multi-to-multi relationship), rather than being limited to sharing any/all credentials between exactly two accounts, which is extremely limiting beyond a pair of spouses. Of course, Bitwarden also has the "Families" paid version, which costs... $1/month for up to 5 users (that's $1/month flat for all 5 users, not $1 per user). $1/month for a whole family is beyond reasonable, and precisely why I love Bitwarden – it's great software with prices designed to support a single developer's open source software rather than the exorbitant prices required to support an entire company and their proprietary software.

      They did state two accounts and not multiple, but I see what you're saying. It should be known, however, that you can share without paying. I also encourage people to pay -- it's cheap and the service is fantastic.

The paid features are the same whether you self-host or not. The only difference is whether you're using publicly hosted servers or your own. Search for "Organization Accounts" on https://bitwarden.com/ https://bitwarden.com/ – either a) $5/month for first 5 users in a team + $2/user/month thereafter, or b) $3/month per user for enterprise (teams + premium for TOTP + user groups). If I understand correctly, the teams version allows users to manually share what they want, while the enterprise version allows finer-grained permissions based on predefined groups of users (including optional integration with LDAP). I haven't used teams/enterprise, but based on the feature list ("User Groups: Use groups for easier user management and greater control across departments and teams", and "Access Control: Implement fine-grained access control policies and organize your vault with collections"), I assume it's possible to setup permissions to the shared collections however you want. I would hope it's possible to have read/write owner(s) to manage credentials, with an option to allow other users to be readonly if desired. Based on my experience with the personal edition of Bitwarden, and how well the developer handles his community and GitHub issues, I expect it's now as mature and flexible as anyone needs. You likely need the enterprise ($3/mo/user) for the most flexible use cases. Don't quote me on that though. :)

  Thanks! I was curious for use in an agency, where the clients share credentials with the agency. Multiple clients to a single agency account may get cluttered. I will have to map out the use case specifically and see which plan works best. Perhaps a bunch of family plans would work for multi to multi scenario, where the agency would also maintain client-specific multiple accounts..

You can share between two accounts with the free version. If you want to share any more, a paid version or self-hosted is required.
