    Really interesting thread which has made the idea of a PWM slightly less intimidating!

    Those of you who have upgraded from free to paid Bitwarden, what made you make that choice?

    Ability to have multiple user ids, each having their own vaults in addition to shared vaults.

    Emergency access enabled between accounts.

    This is the "Family" tier of subscription, costs $40/yr, allows up to six accounts.

    Been using free Bitwarden for years. No issues & it regularly has updated. I use it because it syncs across PC & Mobile. 

    Before that I used Keepass.

    Keepass works for me and there is a version available for android
    So you can have have your passwords on a Windows PC and a android phone or tablet
    Also nothing is stored on the cloud, only on your devices

    Do PWM save PIN numbers as well?

    Every one I've used has (at least) a free text/Note area that can be stored along with a login User Id/Password entry, you can store whatever you like in there.

    Useful for that Memorable Word (made up random stuff - often using a PWM function) or your Mother's Maiden Name (ditto) too.

    Bitwarden (and I'm sure others too) has a separate "vault" for payment card details which may be useful for some people.
