Poll: Which password manager for personal use?
Password manager news seems to be popular today on HN [0][1]. Since I'm curious about this and someone suggested to make a poll about which password managers HN readers use [2], I made a poll.
(That suggestion was in a thread about password managers in companies, I'm more interested in personal use)
So which password manager do you use?

[ 2.7 ms ] story [ 11.7 ms ] threadI used to use Lastpass. Thought it was pretty mediocre. It usually worked fine, but sometimes would generate a password but not save it. If I had two accounts on a website and the user name and password fields were on 2 screens, it would fill the password field with one of the passwords, usually not the right one. It was also a hassle to tell it that two sites were the same (e.g. amazon.com and amazon.co.uk) So when they started asking money for usage on multiple devices I started looking for other managers.
First I tried Bitwarden. But in the few days that I tried it, it didn't save some passwords and it had some other (UX) issues that made it not great to use.
Then I switched to 1Password. It's the most expensive of the three managers and isn't open source like Bitwarden, but it doesn't have any of the issues I mentioned and in general works really well. So I'm happy with it.
Kudos for Lastpass for their export function though. It was really easy to export and import all the items I had stored.
