I pay for Bitwarden premium and the big thing for me is the ability to use it for 2FA/TOTP right from the browser extension (for sites where I feel convenience mostly trumps hardened security). It's glorious that Bitwarden autofills username and password, and then auto-copies the current 2FA code to your clipboard so you can just paste it immediately, instead of needing to pull up your phone and authenticator app to fetch a code, or check your email/texts for a code.

Proton has a similar feature (not sure if it's part of free or premium as I subscribed for proton ultimate so it just came with Proton Pass). It's honestly crazy how nice having TOTP right in the extension for the account's entry in the manager.

Also, I realize this is like the third time I've made a comment about Proton, so I'm probably gonna stop before folks think I'm like a shill or something.

It's not shilling if you genuinely believe in it. I use Proton's services as well. Love that company.

Oh fuck yeah, I forgot about this. No need to pull my cellphone anymore, all the 2FA gets automatically filled after entering password. That's magic.
