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 bought my wife and I the family plan for 1password. The incident for me that got her to start using it was when her phone died. She couldn’t remember her Gmail password and was only currently logged in on her phone. She couldn’t remember her backup email passwords either. Somehow we were able to unlock.her email with mine with a 72 hour delay or something crazy. It took so much effort to not be like “I told you so” but she pretty much told herself the same thing lol. Since then she uses it and loves it.
