Bitwarden

Audited, open-source, zero-knowledge password and passkey manager that works across every browser and OS.

The Catch: US-headquartered (though anyone can self-host the open-source stack or Vaultwarden on non-US infrastructure).

Proton Pass

Open-source, Swiss-hosted password and passkey manager with built-in hide-my-email aliases.

The Catch: Cannot be self-hosted, and unlimited email aliases or 2FA authenticator codes require a paid Plus plan.
