I opted for Bitwarden because it's offered for free, purely subsidized by their paid users. When I get back to work, I'll look into subscribing properly.

Bitwarden is incredible, and I recommend it to everyone.
I used Keepass for a while, but got tired of forgetting to sync things. Switched to LastPass and while I'd recommend it over nothing, their Linux support was downright awful and their support team made it pretty clear that repairing even the most obvious, egregious, and easy-to-fix bugs in Linux was not even remotely a priority for them. I finally quit when months after Ubuntu 20.04 had been out their browser plugins still wouldn't open their drop-downs on it, rendering the whole thing useless even though it was still working fine underneath and was just missing a height property.
Bitwarden has been a dream in comparison. Everything just works, everywhere. I am absolutely in love with the 2FA codes being integrated with the password so you can just autofill to log in and then your code magically is on your clipboard for the next screen--no more fiddling with authenticator apps. I use the custom fields extensively to store stuff I might want to remember when I'm visiting sites. Yubikey integration works great on the phone, computer, browser, you name it.
Basically if you're familiar with LastPass, Bitwarden is like the Platonic Form of it, but real. It's one of those rare programs that's so damn good it shouldn't even exist, but it does, and you should download it.
Anyone have experience and opinions regarding Bitwarden vs. KeePassXC? I've been using the latter for a long time, hosting the database file on a personal Nextcloud instance.

Its also super easy to self host and the browser extension is a must have I would say.
And the android app is more dependable for autofill than even LastPass.

Just a heads up
If you're the one who wrote this thing (as your username and sitename implies), there's a tag for that called "user created".
