Looking for a reliable long-term password manager: Any suggestions?

I'm on the hunt for a password manager I can actually stick with for years without stressing about it shutting down or turning into something I don't recognize. Nothing flashy, nothing packed with features I wont touch, just something that does its one job well. The thought of locking in with a tool that might not even exist in a few years is what keeps me from committing. Realistically i'm tryna find something that can ride with me for the next 5 to 10 years no drama.

What actually matters here is reliability and keeping it simple. As long as my passwords are safe and I can pull them up when I need them i'm good. Still can't decide if going with a cloud based one or sticking to offline is the smarter move for the long run. Also wondering if open source is genuinely important for staying power or if its more of a personal preference thing. Honestly not even sure what I should be looking at to judge if something will hold up over time.

So here's what i'm tryna get answers on. Which password manager has the best track record for sticking around. Is open source actually worth prioritizing. Cloud or offline for something that's supposed to last. How do you even tell if an app will still be here in a decade. Should I be choosing based on features or just pure stability. If anyone has been riding with the same password manager for years pls share what made it worth staying loyal to.

LTT Password Manager: is it worth trusting or too risky?

I've been hearing about the LTT Password Manager (Linus Tech Tips brand) and I'm trying to figure out if it's reliable long-term. Apparently it's built on Bitwarden so technically it should be sound. It costs $3.99/month and has community support. But I'm wondering if it's too risky since it's a newer platform. What's making me hesitant is that it's unproven long-term and relies on LTT's commitment to keep it going. I've been reading that while it's based on solid Bitwarden technology, there's startup risk. The features are good and the community is growing, but what happens if LTT decides to shut it down? The question is whether I should trust an emerging platform or stick with established options. Is LTT Password Manager actually reliable long-term? Have you used it? Does it work well? What about the community support, is it actually helpful? Is the startup risk a dealbreaker? Would you recommend it or should I use Bitwarden directly? How does it compare to Bitwarden? What if LTT shuts it down, would you lose your passwords? Should I trust the brand or play it safe?

Google Password Manager on Firefox: can you use it or do you have to switch?

I'm a Firefox user and I've been wondering if I can use Google Password Manager without switching browsers. From what I've researched, Google Password Manager is optimized for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. There's technically no native Firefox integration but you can access your passwords through your Google account on the web. But that's not ideal for daily use.

What's frustrating me is that I like Firefox for privacy reasons but Google's ecosystem is pulling me toward Chrome. The workaround of manual entry or browser sync limitations isn't practical. I've been reading that Firefox users need alternatives like Bitwarden which has a perfect extension. 1Password and LastPass also work on Firefox. So basically if I want to stay on Firefox, I need to switch password managers.

Can you actually use Google Password Manager effectively on Firefox? Have you tried? What's the workaround like? Is it practical for daily use? Would you recommend switching to Chrome just for Google Passwords or sticking with Firefox alternatives? What password manager works best on Firefox? Should I switch browsers or switch managers? What would you do in my situation?

Zoho Vault review: Is it a good choice for small businesses?

We're looking at Zoho Vault for our small team because the price is right - basically free with unlimited users. The zero-knowledge encryption is solid and the security is AES-256 which is good. But I've been testing it and the interface is kind of bulky. Everything takes extra clicks and it feels clunky compared to competitors.

What's making me consider it anyway is that we're bootstrapped and can't spend a fortune on password management. For a small business on a budget, the affordability is hard to pass up. The question is whether the interface frustration is worth the cost savings. Plus it integrates with other Zoho products which could be useful.

Is Zoho Vault actually usable for daily team use or does the interface get annoying? How does it compare to 1Password for Business or Bitwarden? Would your team be frustrated with the extra clicks? Is it reliable or do you run into bugs? For small businesses specifically, is it worth the trade-off? What's your honest take on it?

I'm comparing Bitwarden vs Chrome Password Manager and I'm wondering which one fits better. Bitwarden has more features and is open-source and chrome is simpler and built-in. I've heard Bitwarden requires extra clicks. I'm wondering if Bitwarden security is worth the extra clicks.

The thing that concerns me is that I want security but I also want convenience. I've heard Bitwarden is more secure. Which one fits better? Have you used both? What was your experience? Is Bitwarden really more secure? What about the extra clicks? How annoying are they? Would you recommend Bitwarden? What about Chrome? Is it good enough? Should I switch? What about cross-platform? I'd appreciate advice about Bitwarden vs Chrome.

Offline password manager: is it worth the hassle?

I'm worried about cloud breaches and I'm considering an offline password manager. I've heard KeePass and KeePassXC are the best offline options. I've also heard they use AES-256 encryption and open-source code. I've also heard they have no cloud breach risk but harder browser integration. I'm wondering if offline password manager is worth the hassle. I want to avoid cloud breaches but I also want convenience. I've heard KeePass has ropey Android apps and manual sync. I'm trying to figure out if offline password manager is worth the hassle or if I should use cloud. Is it worth it? Have you used offline managers? What was your experience? Is KeePass really secure? What about the browser integration? How bad is it? Would you recommend it? What about Android? Is it really ropey? Should I go offline? What about cloud alternatives? I'd appreciate advice about offline password managers.

Google Password Manager: is it safe enough or should I switch?

I'm using Google Password Manager but I'm wondering if it's really safe. I've heard it uses AES encryption and cloud storage. I've also heard it's not zero-knowledge encryption and Google can access passwords. I've also heard it's not open-source so no one can audit it. I'm wondering if Google Password Manager is actually safe or if I should switch.

The thing that concerns me is that I want convenience but I don't want to compromise security. I've heard Google Password Manager has on-device encryption and passkeys. I've also heard it's less secure than dedicated managers. I'm trying to figure out if Google Password Manager is safe enough or if I should use something more secure. What was your experience? Is the encryption really secure? What about Google accessing passwords? Is that a real risk? Would you recommend it? What about 1Password or Bitwarden? Are they more secure? Should I switch? What about for sensitive accounts? I'd appreciate advice about Google Password Manager.
