Is there a site or something where you can put in all the devices you own (e.g., iPhone, Mac laptop, tablet, chromebook, etc) and what features you want (e.g., adding a password on one device syncs it automatically to all other devices, offline useage, auto fill of browser form fields, auto saves now username/passwords, etc.) and it will tell you what password manager best meets your needs?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_password_managers https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_password_managers As far as I can tell BitWarden and Google are the two good ones. I use BitWarden. My reasoning is anything new and experimental is scary, I want something with tons of users that's well established. If the community isn't all over it, it's probably not reviewed enough. Open source makes stuff a little more trustworthy, but by itself isn't enough. I also don't want to pay a lot for it, and many are paid. The two big FOSS ones everyone knows are KeePass and BitWarden. Keepass uses some single file database last I checked. Terrible for sync as the sync engine won't be able to automatically merge conflicts and you might get hassles. That just leaves BitWarden, or just using Chrome because it's there, it's easy, and Google seems to be good at protecting you from everyone but them.

  What do you mean by Google? I looked at the Wikipedia article, but didn’t see Google listed.

    They're not listed, but Chrome and Android can manage passwords

      Oh, I see. Well, I don’t use Chrome or Android, so I’ll look at BitWarden.

        Does Apple have their own Password sync stuff? I'm assuming they do, but BitWarden is going to be more portable and cross platform.

AlternativeTo can almost do that with OS + use-case tags https://alternativeto.net/software/lastpass/ https://alternativeto.net/software/lastpass/
