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 using bitwarden. The free version has everything I need, but I pay for the premium because I want them to continue.

Keepass > Bitwarden > 1Password

You’re all awesome. So much feedback for me to work with.

I’d say the vast majority are recommending Bitwarden (or Vaultwarden should I want to self host), with lots of shoutouts for 1Password as well. Honourable mentions for KeePass as well as a few others.

I’ll continue to run Bitwarden in parallel to 1Password for a little while longer to see if I prefer one over the other. I’ll definitely look into self hosting it as well, although I don’t currently have a domain name so would either have to get one or do the slightly more convoluted method of getting self-signed certificates.

Thanks all for taking the time to indulge me — very much appreciated.

Bitwarden.

I used to have 1PW, but their browser plugin just completely stopped working for me (and a lot of others).

Then I switched to BW. It has so much better UI, plugins and apps. Oh and it’s cheaper.

And if you want, you can host it yourself
