I still can’t bring myself to pay $5 a month in perpetuity for a password manager. None of these saas companies ever price single user licenses below $5, even though $1 or $2 would be much more reasonable.

I think managing your devices sync yourself is an upside, since you can establish yourself to where you sync and how. But it is more complicated to set up as a downside.
Having to sync passwords manually sounds like a hassle. With 1Password all my credentials are on all my devices, always up to date. It integrates with the password management APIs on iOS so I can create an account on a computer and log in using this same service's app on my phone seconds later and the password will already be there, I just have to stare at the device for a second and I'm logged in. It's all incredibl…

Haha, those are great points. However, if you make $50/hour and it takes any where close to an hour to install 1Pass, you're overpaid!! The install is super simple. Setting up the passwords is an ongoing thing and something I consider outside of the initial setup of the self-hosted version.
Ha! I was referring to a self-hosted password manager. I looked at keepass some long time ago (in internet time anyways, likely 4ish years ago), and after starting to get things hooked up and trying to demo it for the spouse, I realized that it wasn't worth my time. I'm 1000% behind them existing and am planning to toss them a donation cause I like that these FOSS alternatives exist, but I'd rather not have to manage…

Listening to music costs $10 per month. Netflix is $15. Surely securing the keys to your digital life is worth at least $5.

+1 on 1Password's dedication to fixing issues. I had an obscure field selection issue on their web view and pinged the support email. It was fixed a few days later and they updated me on it. I switched to 1Password from KeePass after 5 or so years because I just got tired of maintaining the data locally and keeping it in sync on my devices that I need the passwords on. I just backup the 1Password database locally now…
I’ve been a happy one-password customer for several years and I switched to the family subscription model to get my parents away from their little notebook of passwords. I had self-hosted a PHP based password manager for a handful of years, before switching to 1P because I wanted a “real app” with tighter OS integration. I’ve had 3 gripes and this solved one of them. The other 2 are 1) Their insistence on 1PasswordX-…

Agreed. I have been using Bitwarden for over 3 years now, paid premium user as well. No big issues, the odd bug a few times but all fixed promptly and didn't impact my ability to access my data. While the Bitwarden apps are not as "pretty" as 1Password's I find them a little simpler to use. Obviously UI design is highly subjective though so your thoughts may be very different :) Anyway yes I highly recommend Bitwarde…
While almost everything is great about Bitwarden, the 5-8 second delay when performing a search is ridiculous (considering I have about 100 records), and I'm considering paying for a better maintained alternative.
This is too little, too late. I had to migrate away from 1Password last year because of lack of Linux support, and have since been using Bitwarden.

$5 is the one-time cost of a paper alphabetical index notebook that will store your passwords for decades, will never get hacked, will never fail and will never be shut down.

1pw can count the average users bandwidth in kilobytes per month. And while the software is refined, it’s about 1/1000th the complexity and infrastructure of Netflix or Spotify.

Both of those are insanely expensive to create (movies, tv, and commercial music) and bandwidth intensive. 1pw can count the average users bandwidth in kilobytes per month. And while the software is refined, it’s about 1/1000th the complexity and infrastructure of Netflix or Spotify.
