Hello everyone, what is your go-to password manager? What would you suggest for friends and family that aren't very tech savvy?

Hello everyone, what is your go-to password manager?

KeePassXC for something hosted locally on your home network. Best aspect of KeePassXC is the support for OTP codes built-in, in my opinion. For mobile OTP codes, I personally use Aegis.

What would you suggest for friends and family that aren’t very tech savvy?

Bitwarden for non-tech-savvy family and friends.

You could actually host your KeePass DB online, if you secured it good enough (and on a server you control). That way you'd have a solution working for every device you have, wherever you are.

I'm using Syncthing for sharing it, so as long as one other device is online it shares the newest version of the database.

I would recommend if you do this to have a two part key. Password and file. Then you can have the file on specific devices but share the database through the cloud.
