If yes, which one are you using and why?

If no, why not?

    Yes, I use KeePassXC (in my opinion a beautiful fork of KeePass Safe) toghether with a keypass file on a seperate USB-Stick. The database is on my Proton-Drive which is also encrypted inside a Veracrypt file.

    KeePassXC hase some nice features like the auto-type, Categories and password generation. It also has a browser extension but I never used it. I like that it is open source and I can look at the code on their GitHub: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc

    I do not think that it is the most feature rich manager and there will be more user friendly ones, but I like the bare bones “You want password managed? Here you go” approach. It has what I need and not more.

    I use a password manager because it allow me to have 30+ character passwords that are differnet for every account, and I do not even know the passwords because they are all generated randomly (which is also good, because then there are no patterns like birth dates etc.). This makes your account more secure and more resistant against brite force attacks.
