    I was a longtime LastPass user until they nerfed the free accounts (I was a paid account holder, but i disagreed with the change) and have been using Bitwarden since.

    Bitwarden because it’s open-source and cheap. 1password is more expensive, and LastPass is dead. Some people say that you should store your recovery codes in another manager like KeePassXC to enhance the security.

      FWIW you can use a Yubikey with Bitwarden as another layer of security if you’re using it to store your 2FA/ recovery codes too.

      Is there a way to port passwords from Apple Passwords to Bitwarden? I’d love to migrate but can’t seem to figure out how.

        Yes, I believe you can export passwords from Safari. It’s a little bit Janky, but doable. I think you have to go to Safari’s version of the keychain manager and there’s a button somewhere that lets you create an Excel sheet.

    1password. I’m keeping a close eye on Apple’s own keychain stuff. It sure seems like they’re moving toward a password manager app of sorts. Once that happens, then I’ll probably jump ship from 1password as it’s getting expensive, and I don’t love 1password 8.

      Couldn’t agree more with this. 1Password 8 is so bad and frustrating while apples product is looking more and more enticing. Especially with shared passwords.

          Slowness (although I have a pre-M series MacBook Pro), the search functionality and the ability to view my different vaults on the side were both tweaked in a way that I feel it requires significantly more time and effort to get to what I need.

        I’ve not found that to be the case. It’s been bullet proof for me. I plan on sticking with it.

      Same, but I also use chrome a lot so I use chrome and apple.

      I’m always curious what the benefit of using a 3rd party password manager is over these tools that work just fine.

      • @[email protected]English

        The main benefit is being able to access passwords without using a web browser.

        For example, say you need to tell someone your credit card over the phone. With Safari you need to go into Settings > Auto Fill > Edit > unlock, and finally you need to click on the card number to view it. That’s a horrible process.

        With 1Password I can hit a global hotkey, you might use control-space for example, type ‘card’ and there it is. 1Password even has hotkeys to quickly copy the name/number/expiry/security code with a single key press (for each one).

        Another big advantage is most password managers have OTP support. Safari and Chrome do not.

        Well the immediate disadvantage you are facing is that you have passwords stored in two places.

        • @[email protected]English

          Sure, but on iOS and MacOS Safari, at least, you can specify which store to choose your password from.

          So there’s only one extra step to fill in a password.

      My wife uses it manually just opens it on her phone and types everything in.

      That works for her. I don’t get it whatever

    1Password but considering trying Bitwarden and host it myself. I do trust 1Password and have no reason to leave them other than the paranoia still lingering from when I had all my stuff at LastPass

    Strongbox (KeePass client) on all my devices. Synced via iCloud. Works flawlessly. Supports native password autofill on Mac and iOS, so it works in Safari and everywhere else. No plugins necessary.
