Wow, so 1Password is not recommended anymore? How come? I’ve been using them for years.
Possibly because it is not open source and doesn't have anything to offer that the other recommendations do not.
Fastmail integration for masked emails! If you already have an email provider you like then yeah not much to offer. But if you're like me a few years ago and was looking to get off of chromes password manager and gmail, then 1password and fastmail is a nice combo.
Bitwarden has integration with Fastmail, as well as for many other alias services (anon addy, SimpleLogin, etc). They also just added support for selfhosted anon addy, and are working on adding support for self hosted SimpleLogin.
It's in their honorable mentions.
Have no source available clients is the author's main nit pick.
Which personally I think does a disservice to their readers. If their article ends up high in search results for “best password manager 2023” for whatever reason, most people aren’t going to care if there’s a source available client or not.
Dash lane and 1Password might not have source available clients but they likely have better UI/UX than these more open source alternatives that are made for people with technical expertise.
Former 1password user, current Bitwarden user. Jumped ship when 1password dicked local vaults. Never been happier.
And it’s a FUCKLOAD cheaper. 1password is very overpriced.
Bitwarden is practically free. You can pay for some extra features but all the core features and unlimited passwords storage works. Nobody should pay for a password manager.
I've been thinking about trying it.. I like Windows Hello integration which seems to easily break in Bitwarden
I can personally recommend 1Password, the Windows Hello integration works really well. Asks for your PIN code to unlock (or your master password after a reboot). If you put your computer to sleep rather than turn it off overnight, you won’t need the full master password.
Also, if you’re so inclined, 1P has an excellent CLI tool you can use for accessing vaults programmatically. I use this for auto filling TOTP codes for my Final Fantasy XIV login.
I love 1Password. Works well.
