1Password has been one of my go-to apps for years now, so I’m clearly happy to pay the $80 a year or whatever it is (I’m a Brit but I think it’s around that price). But it’s very good to know that I can get the exact same (more or less) functionality in Bitwarden for $10 a year. And I have the option to self host on my Docker stack on my NAS should the mood take me.
I absolutely wholeheartedly agree about Watchtower — that’s a nice little piece of functionality. I saw Bitwarden can check if your passwords have been involved in a data breach, but nowhere near as many little add-ins as Watchtower. It feels like a credit score for your passwords 🙂
And this is why I love places like Lemmy. Balanced, different opinions 🙂
I personally have no issues with 1Password (except that v8 is Electron), but just tempted to try the alternatives given how strong a following Bitwarden appears to have.
Sounds like a pretty sweet setup to be fair. I’m completely Apple so couldn’t replicate that entirely.
But from the feedback so far I’m leaning towards either Bitwarden or Vaultwarden for password management. And for OTP, guess I could use Authy or Raivo, but probably the latter.
No I’m pretty open to either hosted or self hosted. I use KeePass in work (because it’s mandated) and I’d probably describe it as “OK”. The plug-ins are a little fiddly to get working, and my work actually block most of them which drastically reduces the functionality. I have zero browser integration, for example, so I have to copy/paste passwords in each time. Which isn’t the end of the world, but annoying.
Also not sure if there’s a macOS version of KeePass or something I could also use across iOS, watchOS and iPadOS as well.
Haha I hear you re: the old people. My parents use a notepad, and they scribble out old passwords and write down the new ones. It’s beyond archaic. And my dad has dementia which is just a recipe for disaster.
I’ve added them to my 1Password family and setup a separate vault for them to use, and I have a few of their key passwords shared with my vault in case they lock themselves out of important accounts.
But I’m sure if I did decide to switch to Bitwarden I could move them over pretty easily.
Thanks. I’m tech savvy so that’s not a problem. Just always used 1Password based on recommendations. More than happy to go open source, and 1Password 8 feels like a step backwards from 1Password 7.
I’d say 12 hours is a great amount of time to get into either Breath of the Wild (if you haven’t played it yet), or else Tears of the Kingdom (if you’ve played BotW).
Boo, Google! Haha j/k, each to their own 🙂
