Cool I guess?

Personally, I use Bitwarden with my wife. We pay $10/year, and we share a few things:

streaming services
online shopping services
some bank accounts

Basically, if it's something that doesn't allow separate logins and both of us will need, we share them.

Everything else is not shared. $10/year is completely fair to me, and I'm probably going to upgrade to the family plan at some point. I plan to self-host soon, so I'll have to see what plan we need to do that.

Bitwarden, DNS and email are the 3 services I pay for.
Passwords can't be inaccessible, free DNS services never have an LE API, and email is extremely difficult to self host. The uptime and security I expect for these things means I'm happy paying someone else to take care of it.

Bitwarden seem to be a great company and doing everything right (even though they are being annoyingly slow with passkeys on android, my only fault with their service).
Their subscription is extremely reasonable, so even if I figured I could self host it, I'd rather pay bitwarden

What do you use for email?

I honestly don't like passkeys, at least how they currently work. It seems the intent is to replace MFA with just one factor. I prefer 2FA with TOTP separate from my password manager, which means an attacker would need to exploit both to access my accounts.

That said, it's a sticking point for many people, so I hope Bitwarden gets it soon. I just probably won't use it.

From my understanding, passkeys is supposed to be something you have (phone) and something you know (pin) or something you are (biometrics)

I still use hardware keys like a yubikey (something I have) and my normal password via a password manager.
