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!

    My work uses 1 Password. It feels relatively safe. They claim that if you don’t have your master key they can’t restore your passwords. Can not ensure the validity of that claim.

    Personally I use Bitwarden and KeePass for my passwords. They are both open source and audited by 3rd parties. I trust them.

      I assume Bitwarden is the same in terms of the master password? Again, I can’t say for certain.

      My wife almost lost her 1Password vault due to forgetting her master password. Thankfully we remembered it eventually.
