Jesus Christ this is infuriating. Now I have to go find a different password manager that will just take my money, be profitable, and not become another fucking SV unicorn horror show capitalist wet dream.

#302"1Password Has Raised $620M" Ah fuck. They now need to grow at any cost to earn all that money back. And they'll throw their users under the bus, if they have to, because it's either grow like a unicorn or go bust. Also, I sincerely have no clue how a password manager could be so expensive. Last time I checked, the excellent KeePassXC was still free open source and developed by volunteers in their free time. How come…

Nerds continue to fail to grasp the value of UI/UX. This has always been why FOSS and similar solutions have failed to compete in the market in spite of being "free" and often technically superior. UI/UX is everything. Apple became the most valuable company in history on the back of UI/UX alone. Their tech is decent but not that much better than anyone else's, but their stuff is at least marginally easier to use and…
I made the same argument below but I was downvoted to hell. Bitwarden is not an alternative to 1Password that passes the wife/parent/elder test because the UX is so bad they need to call me everytime something isnt exactly working as before.
Unfortunately true.
I really hope that Bitwarden improves their UI and UX, because I really want to like it. But their Collections and sharing feature is very unclear, especially once multiple people/orgs are involved.
I'm afraid to use it because they co-mingle everything in UI and I dont accidently want to share a personal password with another org.
Being worried of sharing a password accidently is very scary UX

I believe this is regarding their new infrastructure secrets product, so hashicorp vault but more corporate maybe.
I read that as "hashicorp vault, but more expensive with wildly varying pricing schemes."
I read it as Hashicorp Vault, but for all employees, not just (IT) engineers.

"KeePassXC was still free open source and developed by volunteers in their free time." This is not a benefit. Within the next 2 years, be wary of a log4j level exploit within Keepassxc. If a software isn't being supported by a steady source of income, it really quickly can get behind in security and tech debt. After all the discussion on here about how we can support open source projects, why is it still a badge of h…
LastPass was bought for $100 million and had some security howlers.
"pass", on the other hand, has no funding and no security vulnerabilities.
I'm pretty sure it's more secure to use apps engineered with a deliberately tight scope that arent lavishly funded than egged-up VC bloated monstrosities.
You wanna bet that building in electron is gonna keep 1password more safe? I wouldnt. The attack surface on that thing is gonna be huge.

We use BitWarden and it is free. $620M for a password manager is nuts.
Yup. In fact just today my partner was struggling witha problem with 1Password that she uses at work, asking why it wasn't as simple as BitWarden.

Really? I mean, I have 1password for work, and Bitwarden for personal.. Spot the difference: https://imgur.com/a/wJQBDjV
A few things come to mind (I use bitwarden myself).
- "Folder: No Folder" is a bit confusing, it would be better to just require a folder when creating an entry.
- Collections vs folders is also a little confusing unless you spend time to figure it out.
- 1password shows the password reuse notice right there, instead of needing to go the web vault of bitwarden and specifically click on tools.
- 1password shows the password strength right in the entry as well.
- 1password has nicer display of the items in the vault, with sections by letter.

#310That was a quick answer to Bitwarden's post that gathered some upvotes earlier today!
