are or so ago switched from using LatsPass for years to because it works most as well and is open

Works perfectly!!

It would be marvelous if the local app and the browser app would talk to each other to remember when they are logged in.

Perfect, open-source, multiplatform and secure

BEST password manager so far !

Clear, simple, easy-to-use.
Basic version allows you to get multiple device sync. for free ! (That's game breaking in the market)
But as many as other smart features.

And premium version is ~10€ / year, which is VERY affordable, that includes many security options, as for example TOTP (2FA).

Tried Dashlane before (which is good one too)... but I have strictly no regrets being part of Bitwarden community for 1+ year by now :)

Obviously, by default, one of the best password manager app available to us
