I guess I'm the odd man out here. I've been using a different password
manager for about 15 years, Roboform. I use it on my PC, iPad and Galaxy
phone and have never had a problem with it. It integrates with Chrome,
Edge, Safari  as well as several local apps including Quicken.

It's also cheaper than some of the others at about $20 per year.
