Yeah, my path was LastPass -> Bitwarden -> 1Password. Both Bitwarden and 1Password are great.

Same 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.

Can you explain what family organizer-based recovery means? It sounds like dad or mom could recover a kids password?

Is there a way to tell your system to fall back to the last known IP address if DNS server isn't reachable? Basically soft-invalidate your local DNS cache but it back from the cache graveyard if DNS is down.

Unbound has a 'serve-expired' option: https://nlnetlabs.nl/documentation/unbound/unbound.conf/#ser...

My 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.

You can see this on a lot of sites right now. You get the Akamai style error with something like: Reference: #11.453a2f17.1393u44848484.3aee33433 At the bottom of a very bland looking error page.

You could argue Akamai is the blandest of the CDN bunch; their UIs are atrocious.

Their APIs are (or, were, last I suffered their use a few years ago) also terrible, eg blanket policy of refusing to cache any resource in the presence of "Vary" header, regardless of its value, and failure to honor standard HTTP headers... thankfully there are many other options for CDN, which are SO MUCH BETTER.

It's interesting that they report an AWS outage but there don't seem to be any issues there. Looks like their methodology is a bit too reliant on those speculative tweets from the first 5 minutes of all these sites going down. https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/ > So many websites are down, are AWS servers down or something? > Amazon web services is down which is affecting a lot of company web si…

It’s just based on user reports, so this is people mischaracterizing it as an AWS outage.
