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!

I've been subscribed to 1Password for around 8 years now, and don't intend to cancel it any time. It's super convenient, updated frequently, and seems to be audited independently to ensure security too. Just recently they've added a few features that make my life as a developer with multiple machines so much easier. OTP on every logged in device too, so I don't need to constantly migrate the horrible Authy setups, or whatever else people use

Yeah the ssh-agent was something I didn’t know I wanted until they added it. Now it’s so nice not having to generate new ssh keys and update all my severs and VMs every time I set up a new machine, and if/when I need to rotate keys, I only have to update one.
