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!

Edit: apparently that’s no longer true and I just didn’t notice: https://support.1password.com/autofill-behavior/

~I use 1Password, and I’m generally satisfied, but what really really sucks is that it only works with domains, but neither subdomains nor ports.~

~So if you’re running your own server that gets annoying extremely fast, because you will have a very long list of suggestions to wade through.~

With Bitwarden (IIRC) one issue is that you cannot save a password when you’re offline, and – again IIRC – it doesn’t even drop a warning about that.

@yA3xAKQMbq

This is no longer true. 1Password supports subdomain matching

Huh, I haven’t noticed that, good to know, thx!

Also good to know, thanks.

I feel your pain with the subdomains - I have a load of Docker containers that I access via reverse proxy and I get a list of every container’s credentials and have to scroll through and select them. Not the end of the world, but annoying for sure.

Yeah, I have a vaultwarden docker just to store the PW for all the other services there… 😂

Somebody corrected me, apparently that’s no longer true and I just didn’t notice (I guess it’s still the default setting), I have to try this out today: https://support.1password.com/autofill-behavior/
