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 guess one is considerably cheaper than the other, so there’s that.

But yeah, other than that, no real reason to switch if there is parity on the functionality.

Barely for a family subscription that they are using, I think 1Password is worth the extra for the polish it has and their support. I suppose if you had a family of 6 then Bitwarden gets a lot more value back as I believe 1Password's is only 5 members included and $1 for extra beyond that.
