Question Ranking

Bitwarden is open source and can therefore easily be reviewed and checked for security. Its Github repository is accessible here.
Pro Free
It is easy to start as the majority of features are on the free version.
Pro Cross-platform syncronisation
Automatically synchronises across various devices and platforms. Passwords get fully encrypted locally before leaving the computer.

Pro Supports multi-logins on one site
You can store multiple logins on the same website.
Pro Secure notes
Very easy to add personal notes.
Pro Auto-fill remembers last user
When a site has multiple credentials (like I have for some brokers and banks), then the most recently used is automatically populated (if auto-fill is opted). This feature is unique (to my knowledge) and spectacular (especially for sites that log you off frequently and re-logging in is required).
Pro Web vault
Possibility to manage passwords without installing the app or the browser plugin.
Pro Self-host your own server
Host your own server via Docker for small installations or by package for multiple servers.
Pro Multifactor authentication
Pro Dark theme

The features included in the free version are totally sufficient for most personal uses. No limitation of devices synching.
Pro Command line interface
You could retrieve passwords in the scripts.
Pro Regular expressions can be used in URIs
It can also be used for sites where the domain changes frequently.
Pro Digital unlock works fairly well
Android app is a little slow and buggy, but it works well and has been improving.
Pro Easy import/export
Just copy CSV text.
Pro Save data on the web
Save data on the web.

You can use Windows Hello or Apple's TouchID on PC to unlock desktop applications and browser extention.

Pro Easy to use
Pro Auto-fill by specifying the form with the selector of css
Auto-fill by specifying the form with the selector of css.
Cons
Con Password generator only uses 8 special characters !@#$%^&*
Whereas a desktop keyboard has 30+ special characters. This greatly reduces the possible passwords that can be generated.
Con Unable to remove duplicates
If you import more than one times, it will store its duplicates and there is no duplicate remover on these apps.
Con Passwords cards can be tricky for newbies
The fields can be difficult to understand for newbies. For example, some login pages can add a field for the password name differently at the same time as the password's field will contain a password. When changing the password, they sometime end corresponding and can give headaches to some users.
Con Cloud-based
You're storing your passwords on servers and you have to trust them.
Con Cannot update data while offline
Requires Internet connection.
Con Saving new credentials isn't as easy as it should be
When registering on a new site, Bitwarden pops up a button to ask if you'd like to save credentials (as most equivalent products do). But the button disappears VERY quickly, so often requires manual entry of passwords
Con Input of new login needs a 'signed-up with e-mail = 'example@wherever.org' functionality
Often sites won't be able to reset your password if the corresponding e-mail used in sign-up is unknown.
Con Lack of communication between instance opened in one session
If you use the client's desktop's app, multiple browsers extensions; they all work almost totally independently. Using more RAM as database is opened each time and asking for login more often. Some other passwords managers use desktop's client to open the database and extensions communicate with it in this case. If there's no desktop's, they'll work as standalone extensions.
Con The autofill sucks
The autofill is tedious - many clicks/taps required to trigger it. It doesn't help that the extension is slow to open.
Con Cannot store images of ID card, etc
Attachments available in premium.
Con Web browser extension doesn't recognise login required
User has to scroll/search for web site login details as it is not found automatically.
Con Doesn't autofill 2FA in pass fields
