1Password vs BitWarden (lemmy.world)

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

157 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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 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).

Does anyone know about SafeInCloud?

No I’ve never heard of it, but have just searched it and am having a read.

I just use firefox to remember my passwords

is there an advantage to switching to some third party app like bitwarden?

I feel like firefox is good enough and very easy to view/manage my passwords, but open to arguments why others are worth switching to

How does it store them though? I thought (this was maybe long ago) they they were stored plaintext on your machine instead of in an encrypted vault like password managers.

I’ll be honest, I have no idea how secure the firefox passwords are stored… maybe I should actually research this some more

but I would hope Mozilla has a reasonably secure method in place
