Currently (as of April 2024), the Wirecutter recommends two password managers: Bitwarden and 1password. But they're known to update their recommendations over time. Accordingly: what password manager (aside from those two) do we expect to be the first to enter their recommendations, some time in the future?
If they start recommending multiple new password managers simultaneously, the market will resolve Yes on all which are relevant, preferring more-specific answers over less-specific answers if applicable. If they shut down / disappear from the internet before recommending any new password managers, the market will resolve N/A.

3.00The variety of predictions here shows how uncertain the cybersecurity landscape is. Speaking of password managers and security, I recently read LastPass review here. I hope companies are doubling down on security measures to protect users' information.
I bet NO on KeePass because a best-in-class password manager needs a way to securely synchronize across machines. That usually requires backend infrastructure, and a trusted company to run it. By nature, KeePass doesn't have those.
You can sync with a third party service (e.g. DropBox), but that doesn't have the "here, just use this" simplicity that Wirecutter prefers.
I really like KeePass and used it for years. But it has some ease-of-setup and ease-of-use issues that I don't think it can solve.
@JamesBakerc884 People are free to add new answers for any new entrants that start seeming likely. (Or should be, at least, unless I messed something up while creating the market.)
@Tulip oh is "Other" not a special item, but literally just an option named "Other" and it gets the magic property?
@JamesBakerc884 Oh, I see what you mean now. The special "other" option only appears in linked multiple-choice markets, not independent ones. If there had been a way for me to add that here, I would have, but I'm unaware of any such way.
@ducat First one. A password manager which has a browser extension but isn't directly bundled in as part of a browser won't count for that option.
