Glad to hear. It needs it. But it needs more than that. The functionality is quite basic.
I use 1Password now that it’s on Linux and it’s fantastic. Way, way more categories to choose from and beautiful design as well as fast sync make it a pleasure to use. I wouldn’t use anything else
I use 1password and was considering switching to bitwarden or derivative. Perhaps to selfhost. What’s beneficial about categorising logins? I wish 1password had a duplicate finder.
Having categories masks everything tidier and easier to find. If I’m looking for a Software licence key I saved, I search that category or Kik in there instead of looking through the entire database.
I don’t like the Bitwarden model of dumping it all together and then having to search everything.
I’m old fashioned.
I don’t think 1Password can be self hosted.
Do you mean find duplicate passwords or duplicate items? Doing a search will bring up all items so you will see duplicate entries and can delete them.
If I’m not mistaken there is the Watchtower functionality which shows you reused passwords - websites where you’ve used the same password each time (duplicates) and then you can use 1Password to generate new ones.
I just search everything, I’d like categories I guess but I never go into the list, just search everything. Duplicate items. When I moved from one version of 1P to the pay monthly it duplicated all of my entries so I had to manually remove them. Or a merge function or something.
Mine used to look pretty OK but then one day it moved everything into a folder named ironically No Folder and because I kinda need the passwords pretty badly I don’t want to try and risk fixing it.
I’m happy with the current one, but sure.
Seriously, I’m getting tired of hearing people throw around words like dated and modern to describe what are just a different styles of app UI.
There’s nothing wrong with how it looks now. As long as the new look doesn’t hide actual features and options while wasting screen space, I’ll be fine with it, but there was nothing wrong with how it is now.
Sometimes it’s justified. If an app looks like it was designed for Windows 3.1, Android C, or god forbid Motif, it just screams “hasn’t been maintained in decades”, and it looks terrible.
But yeah, I don’t have any aesthetic complaints with Bitwarden. It’s neither pretty nor ugly, just functional.
UI is basically considered UX. Bitwarden’s app looks dated af and I have had strong doubts about committing to BW due to only that. It gives the impression that it is abandoned. Looks bad, basically. Not pretty. These things matter. It stands out among all my other modern looking apps, in a bad way.
I would definitely agree. I would say that UI and UX are pretty important in open source.
Just because it doesn’t look like it was made for old people with eyesight problems doesn’t mean it’s outdated.
I’ve used Bitwarden because it’s available everywhere I need it, including a good Firefox desktop extension. The only thing I worry about how they raised VC funds in 2022, and hope that doesn’t lead to enshittification. Fortunately I’m prepared to switch to self-hosted alternatives if that’s the case.
I switched to Bitwarden after 1Password moved to electron and booted selfhosters off the app and into their sub model. Jesus Christ is the current Bitwarden UI bad. It’s easily the worst looking application on my phone that isn’t a banking app; I’ve had zero issues with the functionality though.
Hopefully the UX improves. Last time I tried Bitwarden it was so much worse than 1 Password.
