I despise what 1Password has become. They've spent the past 10 years removing everything that made it great, and becoming increasingly user hostile. And now this. Well they can fuck off. This is great timing though as only the other day I was researching the alternatives - current front runners are Passbolt [0], Hypervault [1] and Heylogin [2]. If anyone has personal experience with any of these I'd love to hear your…

Hey, CEO and Co-Founder of heylogin here.

Feel free to try out heylogin and let me what you think of it. I know we don't have feature parity with 1pw, but we try to innovate on the core user experience of logging into websites first. Our typical users are non-IT people, but more and more features are now implemented to also cater IT pros.

Not stoked but it's the first since I've joined. Not an insane jump. Seeing Bitwarden go up had me wondering. It's still the best all rounder password manager I've used. Has everything and does it all really well. If Bitwarden could integrate their Reports feature into the app that might be a compelling reason to come back.

Bitwarden is a shit product lacking basic niceties: search is terrible (substring match is beyond first page of results), UI is sometimes non-async (typing freezes search), no way to sort by newest/date added, no way to make two note (textarea) fields, no way to expand it, consumes memory and CPU etc However, it’s open-source, cross platform and sorta works.

Ah that's disappointing. So you've just been with 1Password then? Did you try KeePass or anything else?

No I'm using Bitwarden and hate it :)

My experience has been the opposite, they have become worse and worse since the early days when they were small Mac shop with a standalone app. It's really death by a thousand papercuts now. Sometimes it cannot fill a password, sometimes it loses the connection between the browser plugin and the native app and doesn't really fill anything at all anymore, the interface sucks compared to the native Mac version, etc.

The only reason I have not migrated away is that my wife and daughter also use it (1Password Family) and it seems like a huge task to properly migrate the hundreds of passwords, tens of passkeys, etc. Maybe this is the final straw.

Yeah, pretty disappointed by this as well. The app has been getting buggier overtime and I was already considering leaving, so this was the push I needed. Seems like the most popular players in this space are Bitwarden and KeePass, does anybody have a positive or negative experience to share with either?

What bugs have you encountered? It’s been flawless for me.

Personally I've had issues with Windows Hello integration for a while. It worked for a while but then didn't anymore. Everything is right and best I could find was the team saying it's some weird issue with TPM. Once I put in my master password the Hello integration is fine. It's just storing the key in TPM that doesn't work. So every restart I need to put in the master password. Granted my desktop is a Ryzen 2 system but still.

A commenter here recently just asked me if I have considered BitWarden due to my gripes with KeePass. KeePass cannot rent-seek off my passwords. You can of course host BitWarden, but the official software can always get worse (see Minio). Thankfully we have community run versions of the BitWarden server (VaultWarden), whereas 1password customers are left to dry. There just isn't any money in personal password managers, and restricting features like TOTP (BitWarden free tier) rarely entices the average person to get a paid plan.

I've had good experiences with KeePassXC. In addition to being able to store your passwords, it can ingest TOTP seeds. And finally, it's open source and cross platform. (I originally stumbled upon it because it was the only KeePass implementation that tried to look like a native MacOS app)

This is a killer feature for me, since apparently iOS backups do not backup your TOTP generators in Google Authenticator, which I discovered after I wiped my phone and restored it thinking I was perfectly safe doing so given I had a backup.

I now encourage all the folks I mentor to set up a KeePass vault for the TOTP seeds.

There's even an option to generate one of those fancy QR codes that apps like authenticator can use, so the two are not mutually exclusive.

If you're an individual, not an enterprise user, I don't see why anyone would pay for a password manager.

Don’t lock yourself in apple ecosystem especially in such important thing as password management.

Why not? How is the risk substantially different than with a different vendor?

First, all your passwords are locked behind the same passcode you use to log-in. You cannot set different password to unlock the passwords. Anyone who saw your iphone passcode or macbook’s password can not only onlock the device but get access to all the passwords as they are behind the same passcode.

Second, what would happen if you were locked out of apple id account? Or don’t have access to apple hardware.

Password manager should really be platform and device agnostic.

That’s why people used stuff like 1password in the first place.

You really don’t want to put all your life into a single account (that’s why you should not use sign with google or what have you).

You can export from their app very easily.

Can you export it once apple locks your account?

I doubt it. But I keep my own encrypted backup anyway (as I did with 1P, too), so realistically only the most recently added/updated passwords are at risk.

What banking tasks are you doing that other apps don't seem to handle -- are you trading stocks or something?

I basically never use a banking app except to deposit a check (which all the various apps seem to handle well now) or transfer money from the checking account that receives my direct deposit to the account I use at ATMS. (Love that air gap).
