1Password vs BitWarden (self.technology)

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!

Bitwarden with a free account here, and it does everything I need it to do (and more than I'd expect for free). Between the app on my phone and browser addons/extensions on PC, I honestly don't know what else I'd personally need from it (or any other password manager). Plus, it's open source.
