I try my hardest to design practical interviews when hiring. It takes time, but the results are worth it. For example, if you're an Ops style person, you would be SSHing onto a server or troubleshooting a configuration management syste

1Password, nothing else is close in UX and maturity. Cost is lower with Bitwarden, but for corporate use it doesn't matter. Using 1Password for 2FA reduces it to 1FA (owning a single developer's machine gains access to both the pa
