Never used Proton Pass but seeing that it doesn't have a desktop app is a deal breaker for me. I hate having to go to my browser, pull up the extension and search for passwords if I'm just trying to log into another program on my computer.
I do wish Bitwarden was able to recognize when desktop apps are asking for passwords and auto fill logins. Roboform, which I tried previously, could do this but there was a lot of jankiness in other parts of the program.
Also tried Dashlane, which was a great experience in general but unnecessarily expensive when FOSS alternatives exist that can do infinite passwords and multi-device syncing.
They are currently running a year free of premium so I went with it and it is really difficult to import for no reason. You can't import on the app or website it has to be an extension which is such a farce.
Needing an extension to import sounds insane. I've noticed a trend for doing everything in browser and with extensions and I kinda hate it. I guess it makes it easier for cross platform compatibility and all but I don't wanna open a browser extension for everything. And importing passwords sounds like something a website interface should be able to handle, right?? I don't get the need for an extension there

I don't know what's the best OS password manager, but I do know I don't want to keep switching.
