It's a sponsorship, so I'm not complaining, but if the goal was really to get people to use a password manager he would be sending them to Bitwarden since they have a free plan, plus their paid plan is only $10/year compared to $36 for 1Password.
- diggan 1y agoBesides the pricing, is there any reason to prefer Bitwarden over 1Password? Been happily using 1Password for some years, never had any issues, but maybe I'm glossing over anything? Probably the cli interface (`op`) is the one feature I couldn't live without today.
- MattSteelblade 1y agoOpen-source versus proprietary and the option to self-host are the two that immediately come to mind.
- atonse 1y agoI can't speak about the other password managers, but 1Password's architecture ensures even 1Password can't see any of your credentials. It's E2E Encrypted. I've been a 1Password user for over a decade. It's user friendly, and I'd rather not have the responsibility to self-host my company and extended family's credentials.
- MattSteelblade 1y agoBitwarden is also a zero knowledge architecture built on E2EE; I would presume that is the standard in the industry.
- Lcchy 1y agoThey both do e2ee so they cannot read your secrets server-side, which is the standard. Critically though, Bitwarden is open source, meaning that if the encryption is weakened, it would be noticed in the source. With 1Password the clients are closed source: you have to trust the company to encrypt the secrets properly and an (malicious or accidental) change of the encryption cannot be detected by the user. After Lastpass's fiasco around encryption, I don't feel like blindly trusting another company.
