I have been using Bitwarden on my various Android phones (including Samsung) for years and had none of the issues you described. The problem could be your device.

Bitwarden, open source, cross platform, self-hostable.

i use keepassdx, never run into the issues you're describing. do your password managers have permissions to display over other apps and act as the password manager in settings?

I've been using keyguard as an alternative client for bitwarden.

I use 1password because I got tired of fucking around with KeePass. It works well enough; sometimes the password field won't show if the metadata isn't set up right on the page, but it's pretty trivial to open the app and copy me password to manually paste. I'm not sure you'll find one that always works 100% seamlessly.

I've been using Keepass2Android for years, I use the "offline" version which doesn't have Dropbox/Drive/etc capabilities.

I've been using KeePass for years: KeePassXC on my PCs, OG KeePass on my work laptop, KeePass2Android on my Android devices, and KeePassium on my iOS devices. They're all compatible with the same 2.x database version, and all are synchronized with each other via Syncthing.

I've experienced some autofill issues on my Android devices, but that's mostly due to a lack of metadata in those entries. Outside of that, it works great ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Given you are having issues with clicks registering on 2 apps, I would guess it's a device issue. Have you tried checking logs for those apps? What it your mobile model? When was the last system update and are you using any custom rom or root?

Edit: Would also recommend a factory reset if possible given your play services was messed up. A full reset should usually reinstall all the apps that came with the mobile assuming you simply uninstalled it with adb.

Although I am on grapheneos without play services on main profile and bitwarden works pretty well (except occasional issues with detecting login in apps).

I use KeePassDX.

passwords don't show up while I'm on a signup or login page

I don't think they're intended to with this app? They don't for me. Yes it's a mild inconvenience switching over to me password manager to find a password but you don't need to do it that often.

I'm actually looking for a password manager that is free, private and secure (basically a service I can trust my data with)

KeePassDX is uniquely appropriate to these requirements because it's an opensource app with no sync, where everything else is a commercial platform with a free tier. Nothing is perfectly secure but with your own password db on your own device(s) you just don't have the same attack surface that the commercial platforms do.

There might be other opensource apps I guess but they're not going to have the same heritage, reputation and provenance that KeePass does.

I used to use Password Generator

https://f-droid.org/packages/org.secuso.privacyfriendlypasswordgenerator

But it won't type them for you, it only stores how to generate them from your master password. It's more like an encrypted notebook.

Have you tried the Bitwarden Firefox extension on Android? It works pretty much the same as the PC version

Keepassxc

LastPass worked better than Proton but I've switched to the Proton universe so I hope it eventually integrates better. Really, it's only certain sites that don't play nice with password managers. Reddit was one such place.
