1Password vs BitWarden (lemmy.world)

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!

I moved from 1Password to Bitwarden because I was struggling to pirate the former.

NGL, I think it is kinda stupid to use a hacked software as important as a password manager, same as with an antivirus, so for me the way to go has been to selfhost Bitwarden, haven't looked back since that.

I used LastPass Families for a few years, switched to 1Password for one year, and am now on Bitwarden. For me, it was the native MacOS app, so I can auto-fill apps besides just the browser (e.g. game and productivity software logins).

I’ve been using Bitwarden for years now, and I really enjoy the seamless experience across platforms. I use Windows at work, Mac/Linux/Windows at home, I also have an iPhone, iPad, Android tablets, and a Chromebook. Bitwarden works great everywhere. I originally chose it because it’s open source so I could host it myself if I wanted to.

I actually pay for Premium ($10/year) because I wanted to use FIDO hardware keys, but you also get 1GB for encrypted file attachments, which is handy.

BitWarden does everything I want, so I have a hard time considering paying far more for 1Password which does the same thing.
