Proton Pass is a open-source password manager with end-to-end encryption from the makers of ProtonMail. It handles e2e encryption, aliases, 2fa, and open source, and it's best suited for proton ecosystem users wanting integrated password management. Launched in 2023, it's a relatively recent entrant that's been gaining traction.

The free plan is free unlimited passwords — enough for most people to evaluate whether it fits. Since it's open-source, you can self-host for free with no user limits. It's aimed at individual users, so it's fast to set up but may lack team-management features if you scale.

pros

Open source and transparent
End-to-end encryption by default — messages are unreadable even to the server operator
Fully open-source — you can self-host, audit the code, and avoid vendor lock-in
Free unlimited passwords — generous enough for most small teams to get real work done

cons

Free plan has meaningful restrictions: free unlimited passwords
Fewer built-in features means you may need additional tools to cover gaps
If you forget your master password, recovery options are limited by design
Community support can be slower than the dedicated support teams at commercial alternatives
