I can’t imagine wanting to move from Bitwarden, but it’s nice to see a relatively trusted name like Proton enter the space.

Yeah, Bitwarden is definitely more well-established, but I'm always impressed at the quality of Proton products (even if they take forever to develop).

While I am using Bitwarden right now, I am not happy with the UX of it. Will definitely look into Proton Pass once my Bitwarden subscription runs out.

What are you not happy with? I use vaultwarden (but pay for bitwarden, couldn't get the bitwarden pro licence to upload to my self hosted server). I'm pretty happy with it. Maybe there's a fix for your problem

Hey, thanks for asking! Everything I am saying is minor, I really like Bitwarden and the way one can share passwords within organizations. It is the password manager I keep recommending so far. Having said that, I do not really like the look and feel (which is absolutely subjective and not a major reason to move away from open source), but generally I dislike

  • the way Bitwarden handles passwords for the same domain, but different subdomain (Proton does that already better, it sorts according to the subdomain). I do know there are different matching options (startswith creeps me out should I use Host?)
  • the way Bitwarden handles storing passwords when signing up on new forms, 1Password seemed to do that much better
  • I actually like how 1Passwords automatically gives me visual options within the browser window instead of rotating through password options via Hotkey or over the plugin window.

If you have some advice, especially about the password handling for different subdomains, let me know!

I've been using Bitwarden for years with no complaints, but I do use protons other services. Maybe I'll check it out.
