1Password vs BitWarden (lemmy.world)

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 don't know much about 1Password, but I've been using BitWarden for years.
The autofill feature is nice, but sometimes you'll have to unlock the vault for it to continue to work, which can be a pain at times. It's pretty flexible, you can save personal information and cards on top of logins, and it has a password generator built in that I pretty much always use now for making my passwords. It's not fancy, but it's really functional, and works on all my devices without issues.

    Bitwarden is open source (https://github.com/bitwarden) and was audited by privacytools.io, so I’m in team bitwarden !

    It is perfectly integrated with all my devices and browsers, and it’s free to use.

    I self host a Bitwarden server fork called vaultwarden. It works with all the official Bitwarden apps and browser extensions and I am very happy with it. I never used 1password though so I cannot comment on any missing features.
