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’m also part of the Vaultwarden crowd. I’ll never trust something that isn’t open source.

Isn’t Bitwarden open source?

Yes, I’m using Vaultwarden as lightweight alternative to the Bitwarden server.

I’m saying I don’t trust 1Password. The OP asked for 1Password vs. Bitwarden. To me, Vaultwarden = Bitwarden and 1Password = Closed source crap.

Yes, but they may not be singling out Bitwarden as not being open source. It’s likely just that they use Vaultwarden as it’s more lightweight. Also Vaultwarden is only self-hosted, so you can be sure what code is running on the server, whereas Bitwarden has a hosted option. I’d imagine there’s a way to tell but from my understanding, you just have to trust that they run the code they say they are running.
