On-premise password managers: is the effort really worth it?

I'm seriously considering setting up an on-premise password manager like Bitwarden self-hosted or Vaultwarden. The appeal is obvious - you control everything and there's no cloud dependency. But then I start thinking about the actual work involved. You've got to maintain servers, handle updates, deal with backups, troubleshoot when things break. The reason I'm torn is because I want maximum security but I also don't want to become a full-time sysadmin. For enterprises it probably makes sense. But for individuals? I'm not sure the hassle is worth the peace of mind. Plus if something goes wrong, you're on your own to fix it.NHas anyone actually gone the self-hosted route and stuck with it? Is the maintenance burden as bad as it sounds? What's the learning curve like for someone who's not super technical? Would you recommend it for personal use or just stick with cloud options? Are there any gotchas I should know about before diving in?

Android password manager: which one has the best autofill?

I'm looking for a good Android password manager with reliable autofill. 1Password has the best autofill but costs money. Google Password Manager is built-in but limited. I want autofill that actually works consistently. Autofill can be inconsistent across apps. I'm trying to figure out which Android password manager has the most reliable autofill. Which one is best? Have you used Android password managers? What was your experience? Is Bitwarden autofill reliable? What about compatibility? Does it work with all apps? Would you recommend it? What about 1Password? Is the autofill really better? Should I pay for it? What about Google Password Manager? I'd appreciate advice about Android password managers.

1Password review: is it worth the premium price?

I'm considering switching to 1Password because I've heard it has the smoothest user experience. I've heard 1Password has an attractive interface and is easy to use. I've also heard it has slick password sharing and a family plan. I've also heard it has no security breaches and the most secure architecture. I'm wondering if the smooth UX is worth paying premium for.

The thing that concerns me is that I want smooth experience but I don't want to overpay. I've heard 1Password has plain-language recommendations and QR code login. I've also heard the UX is declining and app ratings are dropping. I'm trying to figure out if the smoothness is worth the premium price or if I should stick with free options.

Is it really smooth? Have you used 1Password? What was your experience? Is the UX really better? What about the security? Is it really the most secure? Would you recommend it? What about the price? Is it worth it? What about Bitwarden? Is it less smooth? Should I pay for 1Password? I'd appreciate advice about 1Password.
