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!

    Ive used both, Bitwarden feels more mature plus it’s open source. But 1Password is probably more user friendly for less tech savvy people.

      Thanks. I’m tech savvy so that’s not a problem. Just always used 1Password based on recommendations. More than happy to go open source, and 1Password 8 feels like a step backwards from 1Password 7.

        Just out of curiosity, why exactly is it a step back? I’ve heard this comment several times but, having only used 1Password 8 (which I quite like), I have nothing to compare it to.

          Because it’s now an Electron app on macOS and — in my personal view — Electron apps suck. Much prefer native apps.

          Functionality-wise it’s the same, but just doesn’t feel as nice to use, if that makes sense.

            Fair enough, to each their own. I understand why electron apps might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think some really do work very well (VSCode is the standout).

              Now you may have me there. Visual Studio Code is certainly an exception, I’d be willing to admit.

        I feel the same. I therefore use Bitwarden myself(not selfhosted as I don’t trust myself to host important things quite yet), and control 1Password for the rest of the fam.
