@jerry unfortunately it turned into an electron app, what already should be a reason to avoid it.
As bitwarden also is an electron app, you’re sadly out of luck with the two main candidates.
As I only need my password manager to work in the Apple ecosystem I’m evaluating Strongbox now.
As it is compatible to KeepPass I should be able to access my vault from other OSes as well.
@jerry
I personally think it's worth paying for 1Password. Though a good alternative is Bitwarden. The downside is Bitwarden isn't as user friendly....
@jerry I recommend against 1P. Cloud only is not a valid solution for password storage. My recommendation is: Bitwarden + Vaultwarden. You can use their cloud too, but I just pay there.
@jerry I concurrently use 1Password Family, Bitwarden (free) and Proton Pass (Proton Unlimited) on multiple platforms with other users. In your situation, i.e. with secrets already in your "complimentary" 1Password Family account (which I presume you use for a "family"), I'd keep it because it's the best at everything except being fully open source.
> If you leave your business account or are removed from it, your family account will be unlinked from it, and it will enter into a complimentary trial period. You can add a payment method to start a 1Password Families subscription. https://support.1password.com/link-family/
If you already pay for Proton, then consider switching to Proton Pass. It's not near to feature parity with 1Password, but is good, improving rapidly and you're already paying for it.
Bitwarden is very close to 1Password in features, but note that the free tier does not include TOTP or Passkeys, rendering it next to useless as a single secrets store, but excellent as a free backup for your vaults. The lowest paid tier adds them at a very reasonable cost and other tiers are priced competitively.
@jerry good idea if you can do that. It takes a while to spin your head out of the craziness of those high stress positions. Whishing you the best! (Judging by the pics you post, it's going in a nice direction :-)
@jerry When I left previous job a couple months ago, I was prepared to shell out the $72/year (1PW Families @ $60/year plus one extra user) because I think it's that good, I've been using it for years before I got previous job to adopt it, and I've got family (parents and brothers) on it so we can easily share stuff as parents get older.
@jerry Yes, you do. I pay for the family version so my wife and kids have access to the important passwords in a shared vault in case something happens to me.
@jerry I have a family plan on 1Password to help my parents manage their passwords and have been really happy with it. It works across all my devices as well as my husband’s Android ecosystem. Definitely worth the money for me.
@jerry I created a family account and then moved the personal items over to it, which was super easy (just click move), and left the corporate ones to die in the corporate vault. :). I actually did that a while back, so I just made sure that everything was in the right vault before leaving.
@jerry Pass, the standard unix password manager.
Keep your gpg key on nfc/usb hardware tokens. Don't let some malware steal all your passwords when your machine gets popped.
@jerry FWIW, I've been very happy with KeePass and its variants for many years. It's fiddly, especially in terms of backups and syncing being entirely your problem, but the flip side to that is that it is largely safe from the threats of enshittification.
