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!

    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.
