What Hacker News says
5 sourcesI suggest pass [1]. It's just gpg with git. If you don't like the command line very much you can use a front end for desktop [2], Android [3] or iOS[4]. There are scripts to migrate from others password managers.

In A practical guide to securing macOSCan you point me in the direction of the iOS client?
Nevermind, I think I've got it (https://github.com/davidjb/pass-ios) but is there a no-jailbreak option?
In LessPass: sync-less open source password managerI was using this for ~4 years and really liked it, but recently I've been using 1Password. I tried 1Password as it has a family plan, that didn't really work out though (getting non-technical people to use a password manager is hard - so I'll forever keep being asked "What's the Netflix password?"), but I have stuck with it for myself.
I really like the browser integration, which there isn't anything comparable for pass. I had a bash script [0] which when run would pull the current URL from my browser, and run pass to generate or copy the password to the clipboard - but the 1Password extension is so much nicer. If I'm on a site with weird requirements I'd have to figure out the params to make pass generate a password which matched it; with the extension I just click a few buttons.
I've also got hooked on the iOS app. I didn't know there w

as one for pass, but it looks rather basic compared to 1Password [1]. 1Password also supports TOTP, so you don't need a seperate app for that - although for security you probably should.
Maybe one day I'll get around to writing my own extension and app for pass, but for now paying $60/year is worth it for me. I don't pay for many apps/services, but this I find really worth it.
