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!

    I’m using a combination of KeePassXC on Windows/Linux, KeePass2Android and Syncthing for database synchronization, plus a Yubikey for 2FA. Granted, it’s not a setup I’d recommend towards non-tech people, but it would take a lot before I’d switch:

    • Works completely local, so I never have to worry about being locked out for any reason.
    • Despite that, I still get the benefits of online synchronization through Syncthing.
    • KeePassXC has by far the most powerful autotype functionality, which is a big timesaver since I often need to type passwords into non-browser windows.

    The last point in particular was a dealbreaker when trying out Bitwarden/Vaultwarden a few years ago.

      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.

        Bitwarden and vaultwarden do support storing OTP. I guess there is some security in separating the services though if that’s what your going for.

          Wasn’t necessarily going for separation of services, just haven’t used Bitwarden long enough to figure it all out yet. I’ve literally imported my 1Password vault and that’s it. I need to spend a bit more time messing around with it.
