1Password vs BitWarden (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

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'm a HUGE 1Password fan--and have been for years. It is always the very first app I install on any device. Paid for every upgrade since v4 when I discovered it.

I was sceptical of the switch to Electron, but it's just the front end. The backend is written in Rust and performance has been great. It's not native, but that's a current trend right now...

I was even sold on the subscription model, and now manage a family account for my wife and kids.
