I know this question comes up frequently on HN but what do you all recommend for 2021 for a business with team size of less than 25. Using passwords in KeyPassX has been useful but it starts getting difficult with a growing team where user specific permissions would be a must.

I have used LastPass for a long time, for personal usage. Recently I have begun using 1password in a team context and It is really nice. I vote for 1Password for team usage.

I use the built in Apple one, works great but now I'm trapped. Not sad about it yet.

Bitwarden is open source and you can self host it if I'm not mistaken.

Former LastPass user here.

Used both LastPass and 1Password across massive teams, and 1Password wins IMHO.

I have bitwarden self hosted. I'm using bitwarden_rs and it's really really good.

I've only used 1password so far. I'm a big fan of the company's thoughtful approaches to design. Totally worth the $60/yr for my family.

Good luck migrating your credentials out of apple keychain. I had to do it one by one. Never again.

I'm in the same camp as this. I'd been using LastPass for about a decade and their security quiz told me I was in their top 1% of rated users.

1Password was a drop in replacement for me and my family and it even let's me save TOTP keys so that's very convenient.

It also has a printable backup key so it's beginner friendly and looks aesthetically pleasing so my partner is happier using it.

Meanwhile LastPass was still struggling with U2F/WebAuthn support when I last used them.

I tried bitwarden when 1Password changed to subscription because it is cheaper but at least on OS X the 1Password app is so mich better I simply paid the 60.
