    I recommend MacPass. It’s free on GitHub

    Looking around, on macOS there’s also MacPass[0] which looks decent (good enough that I could see myself contributing for the last few % of polish), and gnome-passwordsafe[1] looks reasonable on Linux (if a bit too mobile-y for a desktop app). The only notable hole in the platforms I use is Windows… perhaps it’s time to spin up a WinUI Keepass project.

    Some clients let you define templates, e.g. the official KeePass client or MacPass.
  • So… native alternatives to 1Password?

    • Apple’s Keychain Access is as native as you can get • MacPass is an open-source and native password manager • Elpass is not open-source, but still native (at least v1.3.4) • Remembear is still native (v1.4.13), for now
