1Password vs BitWarden

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!

UnknownQuantity,

I’m using bitwarden. The free version has everything I need, but I pay for the premium because I want them to continue.

KeepassXC, synced with Nextcloud to all my devices. Browser plugins and android app. Diceware master pass phrase.

You’re all awesome. So much feedback for me to work with.

I’d say the vast majority are recommending Bitwarden (or Vaultwarden should I want to self host), with lots of shoutouts for 1Password as well. Honourable mentions for KeePass as well as a few others.

I’ll continue to run Bitwarden in parallel to 1Password for a little while longer to see if I prefer one over the other. I’ll definitely look into self hosting it as well, although I don’t currently have a domain name so would either have to get one or do the slightly more convoluted method of getting self-signed certificates.

Thanks all for taking the time to indulge me — very much appreciated.

SkaveRat,

Bitwarden.

I used to have 1PW, but their browser plugin just completely stopped working for me (and a lot of others).

Then I switched to BW. It has so much better UI, plugins and apps. Oh and it’s cheaper.

And if you want, you can host it yourself

Keepass, Keepass2Android and Syncthing to share between devices.

KeePass for me. I manage my own database, don’t rely on clouds and etc.

Another vote for Bitwarden

Swarfega,

Long term KeePass user here. I switched to Bitwarden last year. I’d say if you’re happy with 1password then don’t worry.

MajorHavoc,

A password journal of course.

…or maybe I just like making y’all cringe a little.

I’ve used BitWarden for a few years now and I really like it. I’ve set it up on both my PC and phone browsers, and it does its job well. Never paid anything for it, the free tier is generous enough for casual users like me.

It being open source sold it for me.

bloodninja,

If your workflow is how you like it I would stay.

Vaultwarden might be worth looking into when you have time or want to set it up to check it out. Self-hosted Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust. Lets you store OTP for free which is a convenience I enjoy.

DrTautology,

KeePass is great. Has all the features I want and then some. Everything is stored locally, you can encrypt with password and private keys and it even has the ability to sync dabases on a on a home server. I use it on windows and android. Since 99% of the time I make password updates on my phone I’ll just sftp the database file to my server and then use it to sync with my windows machine next time I’m on it.
