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 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.

Question for you since you mentioned how it's integrated with all your devices. I currently do not use a PW manager (I know, shame on me). Let's say I get bitwarden, do I need to go back and change every password on every website to the bitwarden-generated password?

It just seems like I'm "In too deep" in a way where it'll be a pain in the ass to set up.

You can just add your current passwords to bitwarden, no need to change any passwords if you don't want. It actually takes less effort than you might think. Just add your username and password each time you need to login to something and everything will be added pretty quickly.
