I personally love proton pass’s frontend app, but i don’t wanna host my data on proton’s servers(personal reasons). Is there any other password managers that support iOS, android, and browser extension, that is as good. (I tried bitwarden wasn’t good cuz on mobile I had to reenter master pass over and over. I tried keypassxc, but the frontend sucks and dealing with syncing between devices is a pain in the ass.) I appreciate everyone’s help!
I use ExpressVPN and their PW manager. I love it. It also has 2fa keys. Super dynamic and has worked on a few different phones I’ve had as well as browsers (Vivaldi, brave, etc)
I wouldn’t trust any of those vpns that do a shit ton of youtube sponsors. You should try mullvad.
not aware of youtube sponsorships or why that would matter. I’ve used it for like 4 years now and have had no problems.
Use bitwarden, go to Settings -> account security -> unlock with pin and turn it on. If it’s already on, toggle it off then on. You will be prompted to set your pin. Dont forget your master password.
I wont :) I should give bitwarden another try.
After you eventually settle on bitwarden, rotate all passwords and uninstall or clear out the contents of other password managers. From your replies in this thread it seems like you’ve used many different managers.
I’ve switched 5 times in one day

Setup fingerprint unlock and enable it in Bitwarden.
What’s wrong with having your data on proton’s servers? I thought the app and browser extensions are verifiably only sending encrypted packets? Or do they only encrypt your password and send metadata as is?
I wanna use a different proton service, but using 2 services from proton is a bad idea.
Why
Use one service for one thing, so that when it gets disabled, only that one thing is affected.

That’s fine as a general guideline, but does not need to be a steadfast rule. You can use your own judgement. I like ProtonPass’s SimpleLogin feature so I use that for email aliases. Its so nice and convenient.
Bitwarden, is still the way to go. I say this as a proton customer. I’ve learned to work around it’s small annoyances
On mobile, I had to reenter the master password ever time I filled in a password. With a really safe, long, password, it was torture.
That is something you can configure in the settings for the mobile app. To ask for the master password every time is default behavior, but it can also be set to a PIN or biometric instead.
