I'm also a big fan of Bitwarden. Have tested 1Password, LastPass and a few of the other password managers over the last 5 years. This is the one that ticks all the boxes, has the least bloat, does correct matching. I support it with pleasure!

Yeah same, Bitwarden is really good. Have been using it for the last 4 years.

I tested Bitwarden for a while and found it was lacking features compared to 1Password. Until a few weeks back they didn't even have a "Trash", delete an item and it was gone forever. Exporting 1Password to Bitwarden was a complete mess, attachments in items were not imported at all/deleted (you don't get a warning of this.) Bitwarden is okay, but compared to 1Password they have a long way to go in my opinion.

  It depends. 1Password lacks some things I'd really want (like configurable matching, having everything on a subdomain that's not on the public prefix list match is cumbersome). The Windows client is also extremely laggy and doesn't use Windows Hello half the time. 1Password X, which is almost a must-use on Windows, also has desyncing issues. So I guess if you don't mind the above and are on macOS, it's better.

    Would agree with this. I went from Mac to Windows and the 1Password client on macOS is much, much better. It's slowly improving on Windows though.

    As a 1Password for Windows user, I can't say I ever experienced lag with Chrome or Firefox. I don't use Hello though, so can't speak to that.

      With 1Password or 1Password X? 1Password X is good for autofill, but it's delegating management to the website which isn't very good a lot of times. 1Password proper however... using it in 2 Windows machines and both ignored the shortcut to open it at least once today.

  Odd reply, how are these not very minor issues? Importing from 1 specific vendor is relevant for such a tiny part of the userbase. And yes, trashcan is handy, but really not essential. You first need to make the mistake of deleting an account you wanted to keep, and then the site needs to lack a "forget your password" feature (which is already a trashcan). A clean and fast UI, proper matching of (sub)domains, is something you use constantly. I cannot imagine they aren't more important to all/most users than the single item you mentioned.

I am very happy with Bitwarden as a product. It does everything that I want, and I like the UX better than the other password managers that I tried. The fact that it is Open Source code that has been professionally audited also gives me an extra level of assurance.

I looked into the encryption of bitwarden and it seemed to use a little-known SQL encryption extension. That seemed a little too iffy for me.
