Eh. I used to use 1Password long ago, when it was still a "normal" app (one-time payment, not trying to become a unicorn). It was easy for me to switch password managers (my needs are modest, and I generally like to break my app habits once in a while). My journey included (1) self-written manager; (2) LastPass; (3) pass CLI, and (4) Bitwarden (free tier). I'm now a happy Bitwarden user. It's ugly, and I'm a UX desig…

Shout out to Strongbox if you're an apple user. It supports .kdbx across apple devices with a 10/10 UI

My wife uses KeepassXC and KeepassAndroid now and syncs it with her own Dropbox. But yes, 1Password takes a lot less time for people to get used to. But to some extent it took her compromised passwords to finally start using everything.

F-Droid lists at least 4 Keepass-compatible password managers (KeePassDX, KeePassDroid etc.). Is there one which is best for most users?

"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…

I like Bitwarden too, but can't dismiss the fact that 1Password is superior to Bitwarden in many ways: - Mobile UI is beautiful on 1Password. - The UX from creating a password entry to auto-filling is easily better on 1Password. Bitwarden doesn't show autofill entries on login forms yet. That's a deal breaker, at least for me. - Account recovery via a trusted family member. - Additional security measure: private key…

> Bitwarden doesn't show autofill entries on login forms yet. That's a deal breaker, at least for me. I was able to enable that in the settings, but I've found it very hit or miss compared to when I used LastPass.

Here's their vision of the future: https://www.future.1password.com/ It screams CORPORATE. Not a single mention of family or single user. It's all about business security, safely sharing data, protecting your company, etc.

I mean... that seems fine? Taking a consumer product and making a business version of it feels like a totally ok way to grow a company that already has a stable product that people like. Them making new features you don't use doesn't mean they're going to break or diminish the stuff you do use. Sure, they could mess it up, but any company or open source project can mess everything up.
