Salexo Software (alternately known as SplashData) in Los Gatos offers SplashID, their flagship password manager emphasizing flexible synchronization rules and record keeping with automated backup.
Other solutions felt more clunky or were significantly higher priced. Bitwarden seems to straddle the consumer/prosumer/SMB fence more than adequately by designing their user experience to feel welcoming but also trustworthy and reliable. The other tools seem to assume that …

Bitwarden supports various forms of two-factor authentication, including time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), Duo, YubiKey, and other hardware-based tokens. This integration enhances the security of the Bitwarden account and allows to store and manage their 2FA credentials for other applications within Bitwarden itself.
SplashID is really only well suited if you are looking to store passwords offline on your own server. There is no risk of them being leakedin a large scale breach of SplashID, but then it is only up to your security. Since it is not stored online, there is also not a way to restore the master password, so don't forget it!
Bitwarden is easy to use and has a very straightforward simple interface. Having coverage across multiple platforms is the key to its value to me. Additionally, Bitwarden is consistently rated by third party (PC Magazine, Wired, Tom's Guide, etc.) as one of the best password managers available.
SplashID is pretty usable, but there are definitely some key downfalls. Like I previously mentioned, it lacks easy organization. It is also not very user friendly to enter passwords. The password generation tool could use some additional options to remove certain special characters because on more than one occasion I have had to adjust a password to remove a prohibited special character.
SplashID is not nearly as comprehensive as LastPass. LastPass is much easier to orginize and create folders for certain categories. It is also easier to launch logins stored in the vault. The only benefit SplashID provides is that you can store passwords offline. SplashID is better on the pocket book because it is a one time fee where LastPass is subscription based.
Saves me time by storing all of my login information. I'm no longer digging through my notes app or having to reset passwords that I've forgotten.
Stores vendor names, addresses, and W-9's. I don't have to text or email vendor's asking for this info every time I work with them.
Protects my data by identifying weak or unused passwords. Bitwarden helped me identify multiple weak and reused passwords and I quickly updated them using their built-in password generator.
