Bitwarden.
I used to think the same for WhatsApp, Spotify, Twitter and Apollo but they can all be replaced by alternatives (Telegram / Signal, Amazon Music, Mastodon, Memmy).
I know about Keepass but itβs definitely not as convenient and easy to use as Bitwarden.
I donβt use YouTube app because of ads everywhere but I would have trouble stop using YouTube on my computer.
KeePass is really good, but it definitely requires to handle everything outside the password management (like syncronization between devices, TOTP, password quality check, etc.). It is not user friendly at all. Thankfully KeePassDX (on Android, not pc) has a way better built-in experience.
For YouTube, check out newpipe on F-Droid. No ads, you can download content, play videos in background, etc.

#1 would be the phone app, pretty handy for calling people in real time. Without it I would have to carry a phone separately, It's become pretty hard finding a phone booth today.
#2 Would be SMS, these are quite handy for quick messages without interrupting something important.
#3 GPS maps, I have the most amazing sense of orientation, that basically guarantees I never end up where Iβm supposed to, unless I have GPS.
You may take these functions for granted children. But back in the day, maps were something you had in the glove compartment of your car. Phones were something you had on the wall, with a long wire hanging out of them, to connect you to a wired network. Messages was something you send on paper, put a stamp on, and posted through the postal service.
Of course compared to back then, a smartphone has plenty more clever functions. Like the calculator, which we did either in the head or more complex calculations were done on paper.
But I guess these arenβt what you kids were looking for. But they are actually quite amazing, even if you take them for granted. ;)

Bitwarden, Firefox, and Spotify.
A lot of people here are recommending bitwarden. What are the advantages of this over Google's native password manager?
The free tier has all the features you need, it's open-source and it's not a Google product.
It's also quite easy to switch to it from other managers, even the Google one.
Well for one it is not just a side functionality as the manager in chrome. It also is open source and was audited several time by external experts. And lastly it is super simple to use on pretty much any platform.

YouTube, Bitwarden, Niagara Launcher.
Echoing others on the thread:
Bitwarden - used for all my passwords and 2FA WhatsApp - wish I could replace with Signal but network effects too wide Twitter - I'm too addicted. This used to be Flamingo (RIP)
The last spot could've been between Flamingo and Reddit Sync, sad times.
Firefox, Whatsapp and Boost for Reddit (soon Boost for Lemmy, I think)
- Messenger (because unfortunately my friends won't move away from it!)
- Libby
- My banking app
Mull, element, bitwarden
Tasks - My life would be a mess without this or something very similar.
Firefox - Ad blocking, dark mode, bookmarks etc. synced to my laptop.
My bank app.
Firefox with uBlock Bitwarden Spotify
Firefox, vscode and password manager!
Kiwi browser (with uBlock) Joplin (notes) Keepass2Android
YouTube, 1Password, Amazon
Sorry, I know Iβm supposed to say something cooler than Amazon but it is hard to imagine life without it now.
Youtube Revanced, Firefox, and Citra (or another emulator)
KeepassDX, Nextcloud, and Termux (I do some software development via Samsung DeX on a lapdock)
Syncthing, KeepassDX, F-Droid.
Although in reality, most apps I use could be plausibly replaced with other alternatives.
