1Password vs BitWarden (self.technology)

submitted 1 year ago by schmurnan to c/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!

FYI privacytools[.]io has long been commandeered by the BDFL who apparently accepts—how do i put this impartially?—financial incentives for supporting specific software.

Privacyguides.org is the version maintained by the original privacytools team that have been doing the lion's share of the work since 2019

There’s a huge drama between privacytools and privacyguide, I’m not sure anyone here can tell what happened internally after reading both side of the story.

Yes privacy tools accept sponsoring but it should be transparent about it ? It was the case before, I’m not using the site anymore so idk if things have changed in a bad way I’m sorry I promoted it.
