KeePass Deserves More Respect
Windows User
Sure, you can spend your money on some black box software, and assume that you are safe, or you can use software that is open source. I like open-source software, because I can review its structure and integrity. Then, after being satisfied of its safety, compile it, and install it. Granted that many do not have this option available but be assured that if a flaw is found it is pointed out!
I have been using KeePass for years and love it! Sure, it doesn't have all of the bells and whistles that the other black pox software has, but with some time and understanding you can configure it to do whatever you want. The best thing, though, is the price! As a side note, I do donate to support.

Keepass, my love

It was my first task in my previous job. Install and learn to use it always. I have "forced" my family, to rely on this free and great solution. The best out there. Yes, you can demand fancy functions like in 1password, but to be honest, after reading reviews on other - non-free - options, I never had an idea to switch - if you are using different passwords, you are going to use this app as well...

Excellent
Windows User
I've been using KeePass for nine or ten years and found it easy to use and reliable. It's security is tops and that is the main point, so I can only recommend it.

Used it for years and yet to install a plugin
Windows User
I can't think when I first used it, but it was as easy as using Windows Explorer, which it kind of resembles in look.
I have never installed any of the plugins and just use it as is. I fire it up, create a new entry, or copy a password, and off I go. I have never had to maintain it, it prompts you to update, and I now have it synced to tablet and phone. Nothing needed scripts, tech knowledge, better manuals, or anything else like that.
If you know how to store a file on a drive using a file manager (and every computer user does), you know how to use Keepass.

I Love Keepass
Windows User
Granted, there's not a lot of handholding, but once you get over that, the possibilities are endless. I use it with the Kee Chrome plugin (also works with Brave) for storing and autofilling username and password fields.
I now have unique, complex passwords for every site I use, if one was to get compromised, all of my other accounts will be safe.
I also use the KeyOTP plugin to store 2FA / Google authenticator seeds which now get autofilled without messing around with my phone.
For Linux nerds, you can store your SSH private key and passphrase and use it with Pageant for seamless, passwordless access to servers via putty :)
Keepass blows everything else out of the water.

Keepass is best in security for password
Windows User

I haven't tried anything else. Why try when you know you have the best password software. I have looked at the so called "consumer" grade that friends us and turned them on to KeePass. After 5 minutes of a quick tutorial they will not go back to that other crap. hey even my wife uses it and she is as non techie as they come. So there you go!

KeepassXC, same but better
Linux User
Keepass is actually very easy to learn and the if you wish, use KeepassXC, they have a few improvements worth the shift.

Love it!
iOS User
I’ve been using KeePass for years. I like the interface 90s feel and am tired of over stylized rounded button fluffy GUIs. The security is where it packs it’s punch. I copy my KDBX to OneDrive and then to my phone. Easy to do and I don’t have to second guess a cloud service having all my passwords and the risk of a service provider security breach.

Excellent UI
Windows User
I don't understand the hate towards the UI, I'm tired of round, overly designed, unnecessarily animated software. This is beautiful as it is functional, with a vintage 90's feel. I love the look of it. It was also easy to use, I don't consider myself too techy but one youtube tutorial was enough to get a simple run-down of the functions, just like any new software I choose to use. I'm switching from Dashlane.
