Password manager: Bitwarden or 1password
DEFINITELY do not go 1password. They took a massive VC investment and it is only a matter of time before they find a way to monetize it. Ignoring the fact they absolutely destroyed the app.
Bitwarden (you can host yourself with vaultwarden) or KeepassXC.
Can you explain this? I've been using the app for over 10 years and it's only gotten better. I haven't seen any evidence yet that it would suddenly change
Yes, in 2021 they took a $100M investment for a password manager. There's no planet on which they can justify that valuation without doing things to significantly increase their revenue. https://techcrunch.com/2021/07/27/1password-raises-100m-at-a-2b-valuation/
If you've used the product for 10 years like you claim, then you should know very well the many ways in which they've gotten worse. A couple obvious ones off the top of my head because I dropped them like a bad habit after I saw that VC "investment":
For I think $75 I used an excellent password manager for literally like 7 years on multiple platforms. As a software engineer I know that wasn't a small effort to make that happen. I think I got my money's worth... and out of every digital service I pay for, I find password management most critical and worth paying for
Yes it certainly has gotten better on every platform. I don't know anything about nested tags. I don't even use non nested tags. But sure the whole company sucks because they removed a feature you liked. Features that get less use get removed, that's how products work...How has it improved? Well, it's weird you ask it all aggro like that but yeah, the search, UI, watchtower, browser extensions, ease of adding a new device, cli tool, and many tiny details have improved over the years.
Funny you say that, the app went from barely usable on windows (which I rarely use) to almost as good as Mac. Then right when I switched to Linux they released a very good client on that platform, which was something I didn't even expect.
I am not quite sure what the motivation is implying I'm lying about how long I've used software or my experience with it, but I'm not. Be mad I guess.
It might get worse eventually but I disagree with your condescending assertions that it already is. Later.
Just moved to Proxmox. Vaultwarden as an LXC from helper-scripts is so easy.
Keepass is superior in my experience for passwords
They asked as a "tech illiterate" so I answered what I'd answer a tech illiterate person.
Keepass is good, but it's not tech illiterate friendly.
Oh I must have missed that sorry. Then yes it's a bit more difficult for the tech illiterate until they've been using it for a while
Thank you for respecting my literacy level! Lol
From a UX perspective I disagree. 1password wins at UX hands down but Bitwarden is a very close second and IMO has better privacy guarantees.
Security is useless if it's too difficult. Despite liking Bitwarden I am a 1Password subscriber and happy with my choice.
Really? I really dislike the UI of one password. I have to use it for work and it's a pain.
Never tried bit Warden could be good who knows not me that's for sure.
I don't think keepass is to difficult as to make it useless. I think it really depends on the platform there are some amazing Android apps that will autofill directly from your keyboard no real work necessary it recognizes everything. Now if you're on Windows... Yeah things start to fall off the wagon
