Bitwarden Mobile: https://github.com/bitwarden/mobile I will freely admit I am strongly biased against Xamarin as there are so few cases where I think it's unequivocally the right choice, and Bitwarden isn't one of them. It would make more sense to take the work done in their desktop electron app and use that as part of an Ionic hybrid mobile app than to screw around with the layercake of bugs and mismatched APIs that Xamarin is. Moreover, since this is a serious app from a security point of view it really should go full vendor native IMO.

> I use Chrome, but the other major browsers like Edge or Firefox are fine too. They can isolate their trusted UI from websites, they don’t break the sandbox security model, they have world-class security teams, and they couldn’t be easier to use. I know its about browser integration, but take a look at the repository of Lockwise android app[1] that released the last version 6 months ago and Bitwarden app[2] with last release being 1 month ago (I tried to find the firefox browser version but its a mess to analyse the activity of it). I know firefox has a much larger team but I it doesnt necessarily mean that more competent devs taking are taking care of the browser password manager's security than 1Password for example - maybe this is true for Google Chrome but who knows about Firefox and Edge.

Love bitwarden and use it every day (paid user). I like almost every part of the experience except an annoying issue where the autofill doesn't work on firefox android (everything latest version). it shows up 10% of the time, for a few milliseconds. I've seen similar issues dating back from a year ago (https://github.com/bitwarden/mobile/issues/784). Makes me wonder how such commonly used things can be so broken for so long (see also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26296339).
