If you're not using a password manager then you're mostly likely 1 data breach away from not knowing how many other accounts of yours have been compromised.
They're so incredibly easy to use, they're all basically free, and they are essential IMO. I personally use Bitwarden, before that was LastPass until they first got rid of any reason to use the subscription, only to then lock multi-device use behind the subscription (oh and they got bought by LogMeIn, who are a garbage company). Bitwarden is better in every way, so it was a win. Happily paying for Bitwarden, and would recommend it to everyone.
How is bit warden compared to 1password?
I have recently switched to 1passwrd. But it is a paid subscription
I've been on Bitwarden ever since LastPass restricted the amount of devices on their free tier. Chose Bitwarden mainly because of the cost.
Works seamlessly for me, on android there is also a quickfill tile in your pulldown which works on both apps and websites.
Haven't used 1Password but I'd say the features are on par with what LastPass free used to be.
Easy to import too. And has a self hosted offering
I've used bitwarden for a number of years for personal use. My job uses 1Password which I've used for 7 months.
In features they are very similar.
Bitwarden has more granular URL matching (can use regex to match websites) whilst 1Password is weaker in this area (can do subdomain but no URI matching, no wildcard or regex).
1Password UX is much better, certainly feels like a paid for service.
1Password is much more expensive (monthly subscription)
1Password 2FA can read QR codes from the screen and automatically puts the code into the website. Bitwarden needs the QR text pasting into the password entry and puts the code into clipboard when the password is used.
Bitwarden can be self hosted (Vaultwarden).
Overall I think I prefer 1Password but not enough to pay the subscription. Work do give me a free personal account but I don't like relying on small possible temporary benefits. So I stick with bitwarden. I pay the $10 a year and I'm happy.
Edit: corrected mistake in bitwarden cost
You can export a .csv file from 1password and should be able to import that into Bitwarden, so you are not completely locked in.
So bitwarden is £10/month?
1password is like £3/month
I'm guessing that must be at a different subscription level.
Thank you for the really detailed rundown. I might try both for a while and see what I like.
Bitwarden is 10 a year, but only if you want the premium features. It works well completely free, which is why it's so popular.
Cool definitely worth a try then.
I will import my passwords from 1password and give the free account a go.
I think the feature sets are similar and both seem secure, but I went with Bitwarden because I prefer supporting open source.
