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!

    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.

      Right, that’s the beauty of using a GOOD password manager, whether it’s Bitwarden or 1Password. They both make it relatively easy to export and import all your passwords.
