I wasn't quite ready to self promote this but I will go ahead anyway, since people are probably researching alternatives now. I'm working on a comparison of different password managers.

At this point it's mainly a fork&merge of some previous work.

If you find any issues with the data please submit a PR.

Edit: I am standing on the shoulders of giants. Take a look at the contributors page. I am taking what was previously a blog post, and giving it some extra attention with the current going-ons. https://blog.kamens.us/head-to-head-comparison-of-password-m...

Some of y'all have already found a few issues, I will work through them, and submit a "Show HN" once I get it to that point. So take everything here with a grain of salt. And if you do know better, please submit a PR here:

I don't think 1Password has any free tier, at least pretty sure it doesn't have free syncing across devices anymore or even ever.

Cool stupfh.

Minor bug: I unchecked “CLI,” and still got this row:

I know password manger services are super convenient, and probably worth the cost for most, especially non technical users. But my preference has always been to manually manage my own local KeyPass database.

Sure it’s more cumbersome when it comes to syncing between devices, but it’s really not a big deal. One or twice a month I will combine my DBs from all my devices ok one machine, use the built in ‘merge’ functionality, and redistribute the I updated DBs back out to each device. It might take 10 minutes.

But I can rest assured that I’m the only one who has a copy of my DB/ key files, and a breach of _blank_pw_manager_ service can’t compromise my secrets. Highly recommend KeyPass. It’s free and open source, with high quality community ports available on every platform. https://keepass.info/index.html

Thank you for this work! Could you add Bruce Schneier's PWSafe? https://pwsafe.org/

Bitwarden has a useful status page that you can subscribe to with RSS: https://status.bitwarden.com/

Would be happy to submit a PR, but I couldn't find a link to a repo and couldn't find the code on GitHub.

Great overview! I think 1Password's Linux support has been improving [0]. I use 1Password with an Ubuntu desktop and have been happy with it.
