I've never used a password manager — where do I start
You're starting from scratch. You probably have browser-saved passwords or reused passwords across sites. You want something that fixes the problem without creating a new one.
Bitwarden. Set it up, import your existing browser-saved passwords in the first session, and configure biometric unlock. You'll be operational within an hour.
Bitwarden
Fits as a first password manager — free, unlimited, imports from Chrome/Firefox/Safari in one step. No artificial restrictions that create friction during adoption.

Makes more sense if you want a more guided setup experience and the smoothest autofill from day one — at the cost of a premium-only meaningful experience.
The import step is the most important step in the first session. An empty vault has no value; importing your browser-saved passwords immediately gives you something to use and builds the habit.
