        It kinda does feel like it’s being promoted here, which seems unnecessary for a free, open-source program hahaha

            I don’t doubt that! I’ve just seen it mentioned a LOT, much more than any other sites I’ve visited.

            I’m not suspicious about it anymore, though—if it wasn’t a free open-source program, that would be a different story! Spotting obvious ads disguised as comments everywhere on Reddit was always fun.

              Same, the last few posts about a password manager was heavily voted for bitwarden and keypass. It is suspicious, but at the same time Lemmy is primarily filled with techy programmers that are more in tune with tech than most people and lean toward open source and pirating.

                I really don’t think it is promotion via paid users. It was talked about on Reddit a lot because it’s really good and the users like to promote it.

      I kinda thought that too, but it’s free and open-source… so that would be weird.

      Looking into password managers, though, it does really seem like the best choice. Lastpass had breach lately, KeePass requires self-hosting, and other offerings cost more (and aren’t open-source.)
