I wonder if this is why LastPass is down. It has completely locked me out of my vault. You'd think it'd continue to work offline in a case like this. :/

- eunai 5y agoI switched to BitWarden and haven't looked back. You can use it on the phone and pc (browser). As well as a desktop client.
- benburleson 5y agoYeah, my path was LastPass -> Bitwarden -> 1Password. Both Bitwarden and 1Password are great.
- JonathanMerklin 5y agoThen what was the impetus to switch off of Bitwarden?
- decrypt 5y agoSame path. It'll be very hard to move away from 1Password. App experience, sync, security features like key in addition to master password, family organizer-based recovery of an account, these are a few things that stand out.
- chewmieser 5y agoMy favorite feature personally is the built-in 2FA support. Click and it logs into your account and copies the 2fa code to clipboard so just paste on next screen. Multiple vaults too is nice but I know others have ways to limit exposure of passwords in similar manners.
- arnado 5y agoBitwarden offers this as well, but I don't really understand why you would want it. If someone compromises your password manager, 2FA is now worthless. Or am I misunderstanding how it works?
- decrypt 5y agoYour understanding is correct. 1Password requires a key in addition to the master password. And finally, 1Password can have 2FA for itself, which is stored on my Authy. These are reasons why I am comfortable storing my 2FA codes on it. Bitwarden has 2FA support too, but does not have the unique key feature that 1Password has.
- revscat 5y agoCan you explain what family organizer-based recovery means? It sounds like dad or mom could recover a kids password?

- eddieroger 5y agoThat's about right for what it is, or at least how I think about it. There's no magic "unlock vault" button (by design), but an Organizer can kick off a workflow to reset a vault if need be. I have a few of the more tech-savvy family members set as organizers in my family in case something ever happens to me.
- macintux 5y agoYeah, I use 1Password for every critical bit of information (SSN numbers, physical access codes) and a whole lot of less-critical stuff. I expect to be a customer for life.
- raffraffraff 5y agoI prefer the browser addon for bitwarden over 1Password. Try editing a site in 1Password. It forces you to log into the full sir, whereas bitwarden can do almost everything right there in the addon.
- judge2020 5y agoThis is also possible with the 1Password X extension, however there's a lot of feature segmentation and unclear messaging between the Desktop app-based version and 1Password X so I don't blame you for using the old one.
- decrypt 5y agoIt is? The last I remember, editing a field on 1Password X opens 1Password website instead, where the changes can be made.
- fredski42 5y agoAnd with vaultwarden you can go self hosted with a very lightweight server written in rust.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoSwitched to vaultwarden at work for password management, only have minor gripes so can recommend.
- zxcvbn4038 5y agoWhen it comes to password managers, 1password is the one to beat. Much better experience in every regard.
