Is 1password a good alternative to Bitwarden if I want to have passkey support? Are there others that you’d recommend?
My bad, I was going for a concise title, but I guess it wasn’t clear what I was asking for.
A community about a product is likely not the best place to get suggestions on replacing that product.
Maybe not, though it’s worked for me and others in the past. Just like how Redditors coordinated on moving to Lemmy, from Reddit. It’s the point of commonality, we all like(d) product X but are considering moving on.
PassKeys are new thing, need to wait a little
Even so, 1Password (for all its flaws: Cost, Closed-Source, ?etc) has an implementation that gets me passkey use flawlessly across all my devices, iPhone, MacOS, Windows, including in and outside of browsers.
I get that is probably hard to have that kind of velocity with an open source project.
I see.
But this is not about being open source. Bitwarden is not created by the community, rather by a dedicated team same like 1Password. Them sharing source code is just a requirement for users to keep data secure and freedom.
As someone who used 1PW for a couple years, I advise against them. They broke their browser plugins several times and it took weeks for them to fix it (the plugin wouldn't sync changes anymore and there was 0 indication there was a problem).
Also, the android integration was quite bad
Strongbox
That’s a really compelling option, no lock-in, cross compatible with other keypass apps, tight Mac/iOS integration. Definitely giving this a try
