I'm trying out Bitwarden after moving to a Sony phone (my Samsungs came with their inbuilt password manager) however it keeps asking for a master password all the time. Is that normal?

I just Safe In Cloud. It syncs to a cloud service. There I have the paid mobile version that works with the free desktop version it works nice.
I use both bitwarden and chrome.
They are great:
- Convenience - no more forgot password because of arbitrary condition of having two digits and min. 16 characters etc.
- Security - when db leaks and somehow the service you registered for wasn't hashing passwords properly, it's just random set of characters instead of combination of email and password you probably use for a lot of other things.
password manager saves time. why not
I use bitwarden, and have a random password for every account. Moreso I also have a random email for each service I sign up for, using Cloudflare email routes.
It gives me the peace of mind that when one account is compromised I just reset the password, in case of spam: change the email address, and continue on with my day.
For work I use KeePass and 1password, but I do prefer Bitwarden due to its price. 1Password is more feature rich with it's types of credentials you can store, however. It's a nice-to-have that I can store TOTP as well and that I can share passwords with my partner
Been trying to set up passbolt for days now and can't get it to work on Ubuntu server
