Bitwarden is currently first choice in password management software.

Generally I think Bitwarden is a good piece of software, however they have Google Analytics baked in and turned on by default. You can turn it off [1] but some users may not realise it's there to begin with as it is not well advertised. I think the recommendation for Bitwarden on the site should have a clear disclaimer about disabling Google Analytics, or it should be withdrawn completely.
