Bitwarden

brew install --cask bitwarden v2026.5.0

Open-source password manager and digital vault for storing credentials and logins securely.

Why you might care

Bitwarden is free, open-source, and audited by third parties, making it highly transparent about security practices. It syncs across devices, works offline, and doesn't lock you into a proprietary ecosystem—you can self-host or use their cloud. It's ideal if you want password management without trusting a closed-source commercial service.
