Should I stop using Samsung password manager?

So I’ve been using Samsung Password Manager (Samsung Pass app) for as long as I can remember, but lately I’ve started to question whether I should move to a third-party option instead, mostly due to its lack of cross-platform support and some everyday usability issues.

From a security and convenience standpoint, Samsung Pass isn’t necessarily unsafe. The Samsung Pass app works well on Samsung devices, with biometric login and Knox-based security, so for basic everyday use it’s easy to rely on. At the same time, it doesn’t feel very flexible when it comes to moving your data. Exporting or switching away isn’t as straightforward, which makes it feel like you’re a bit locked in compared to a dedicated password manager.

That said, the bigger issue for me is how limited it feels in practice. Samsung Pass mainly works inside Samsung’s ecosystem, which doesn’t match how I actually use my devices - I switch between a phone, PC, different browsers, and other platforms. Because of that, not having smooth access to my passwords everywhere becomes frustrating, and it starts to feel restrictive rather than helpful for a password manager.

On top of that, there are smaller but still noticeable issues, like autofill not always working properly or difficulty accessing saved data outside certain apps. Over time, these add up and make Samsung Pass feel more like a built-in convenience feature than a complete password manager solution. When I compare that to paid password manager options that offer proper cross-platform support and more control, the Samsung Pass app starts to feel like a compromise rather than something I can rely on long-term.

So at this point, I’m leaning toward switching to a different password manager, but I’m still unsure if it’s really worth it or which direction to go.

I’ve been comparing a few options using a table I found on Reddit, but I’d be interested to hear what others are using - what you like, what you don’t, and whether switching was actually worth it.
