Just wondered what people are using for their password management.

I’m currently using 1Password on a family subscription for both password management and 2FA (and then Authy for the 1Password 2FA). But I’m seeing a lot more posters — particularly since joining Lemmy — championing BitWarden (either cloud or self hosted) and Raivo OTP as a cheaper, almost-as-functional alternative.

So is it worth the switch? Will I lose out on anything by doing so?

I’m currently running BitWarden with a free account to see if I can live with it. But I must admit, 1Password is a staple app for me and one that I would say is priceless to my workflow and setup.

Just interested in your thoughts and trying to stimulate conversation!

    1Password is way better, but it’s more expensive and not open source.

    Bitwarden is, like most open source apps, jankier than 1Password. Not as mature. But people that care a lot about their software being open source will use it because it’s the best open source option we have at the moment.

    None of them is a bad app.

      “Way better” is an exaggeration in my mind. It may have a few nicer things here and there, but name one thing 1Pass can do that Bitwarden can’t? It certainly has a different UI, but I definitely preferred this over my former LastPass account.

        This “what can one do that the other can’t” is never a good argument. Specially against someone that was talking about quality.

        A horse and a 2023 Lamborghini can do the same things, transport-wise. But that doesn’t mean that the quality is the same.

      More expensive and closed source

      vs

      free or cheaper subscription, can even be self hosted and open source

      I’ll pick the later

        Yes, each one with their choices. I have the income to pay for better quality, so I use 1Password. But you can’t go wrong with any of those two.
