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!

    Odd seeing so many people prefer Bitwarden specifically for the polish and UI. Those are the reasons I chose 1Password. Both work! Both are actually pretty good solutions. But after using Bitwarden for quite a while for work, I set up 1Pass for my personal stuff. It’s just nicer and easier to manage, imo, even as a tech savvy user.

      This is also my experience with Bitwarden and 1Password.

      I used Bitwarden for a long time and even selfhosted it, but it just didn’t feel that polished, especially on the phone. Then I tried 1Password and everything just works seamlessly.

      In the end, I think it’s just a matter of taste.

        Same for me. Self hosted bitwarden, wanted to love it, didn’t love it.

        Went to 1Pass family and we ain’t moving.

      And this is why I love places like Lemmy. Balanced, different opinions 🙂

      I personally have no issues with 1Password (except that v8 is Electron), but just tempted to try the alternatives given how strong a following Bitwarden appears to have.

      Either way… it’s good to have options.

        For sure. I set my father up on Bitwarden because he gets a lot more out of the free tier, and it’s hard enough to convince him he needs a password manager, let alone one that costs anything, lol.
