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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    What problems are you having? Been pretty flawless for me.

    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.

    Used Bitwarden for years across various devices. It’s reliable and just works for me.

    Bitwarden for password management and Raivo OTP for 2FA\MFA.

    Fantastic, lightweight, open source, and secure.

    KeepassXC (Strongbox on iOS) + Syncthing to keep database in sync across all devices.

    1Password for my personal stuff, but Bitwarden st work. 1Password is a far nice experience imo, even on version 8.

    But as someone else said: holding out for Apple to do standalone key chain and would likely switch then.

    KeepassXC on desktop and KeePassium on iOS. No vendor/cloud lock in and can pick how you sync the database.

    1Password since like 1Password 3 days; early adopters family plan right now. I’m not a huge fan of the new 1Password extension on iOS, but on the Mac front, it’s treating me well. I don’t think I’ll jump to Apple native keychain until feature parity is reached.

    I currently use Strongbox on macOS and iOS. While it is definitely a product tailored to more advanced users, it is still easy to use IMO, and there's currently no better option for those who want a native Mac app built exclusively for the Mac. There's no proprietary cloud storage like popular commercial password managers (you can use iCloud, OneDrive, Dropbox, WebDAV, transfer over your local network, etc.), and it uses KeePass, so there is no lock in either. Additionally, if you suffer from subscription fatigue, there's an option to purchase a lifetime license. I love it, and would recommend the product to those who are on Apple platforms. It doesn't have all of the features of 1Password just yet, but the developer is very responsive, and it is getting better all of the time.

    I switched over from 1Password, as I was not very impressed with the direction they were heading. 1Password 7 is better in every way compared to 1Password 8, IMO. Also, moving from AppKit to Electron for their Mac app was simply not acceptable to me either, and there was no way I was ever going to pay an annual subscription for the "pleasure" of using it. I only ever paid up because of their high quality apps, and when that was no longer the focus, I was out.

    Keychain and Bitwarden

  • source
  • [–] 4 points 3 years ago (2 children)

    BitWarden and Apple’s keychain. However, passkeys are the future. Once you’ve used one you’ll understand how much worse passwords are.

    Syncthing to keep it in sync

    I’m on 1Password from ease of use with work. Wondering if I should switch to Bitwarden to save a few bucks.

    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.

  • source
  • I switched from lastpass to 1Password shortly after they sold to logmein or whatever. I have lately been eyeing the whole suite offered by https://proton.me

    I would entertain the idea of using Apple keychain, but I am really hooked on password sharing with the family. Have not seen a good implementation from Apple yet, but maybe it is on the way (or I missed it!).

    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.

    A mix of KeePassXC and Keychain (until there's a KeePassXC extension for Safari on macOS)

    I’m using Keeper as it works across devices and has been sanctioned by the government via fedramp. It’s kind of expensive so if someone wants to talk me out of using keeper, please do.

    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

    I have never had any trouble with 1Password. But with Apple bringing support for 3rd party browsers, I might be tempted to switch to that. https://www.macrumors.com/2023/07/12/macos-sonoma-apple-passwords-third-party-browsers/
