1Password vs BitWarden (lemmy.world)

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 was a big time LastPass user. Switched to Bitwarden when LastPass was bought by LogMeIn... what was that, 6 years ago?

It's free, it gives me everything I need, and I can even self-host it, giving me ultimate peace of mind.

Bonus: Bitwarden has a LastPass migration tool (I'm sure they have it for others) - made the move a matter of minutes.
