1Password - password manager with cross platform sync.

I've used Bitwarden but it's very barbones. In the past I always used 1Passsword because it's full featured but I was on Mac at the time and 1Password was Mac only.

I then moved to Linux and used Enpass, then Bitwarden. At last 1Password realised they needed to go cross platform and they have a native Linux client. So I moved back to them

Easily the best and most secure and full featured password manager that's ever existed. I highly, highly recommend it if you haven't tried it.

Bitwarden is amazing. It may not have so many "categories" but that's a choice they made as most of them can be set as "Login" , not sure what you feel missing in BW

In addition to logins you can also store: Passwords Bank Cards Bank Accounts Secure Notes Software Licences Drivers Licence ID Membership Cards Documents API credentials SSH credentials Database Crypto Wallet Passport Medical records Email accounts Reward program Social security number Server

Quite a lot more than just logins.

What is the difference with Bitwarden? I can't think of anything.

[โ€“] danielfgom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Far, far more categories in 1Password

Categories?? What's that? ๐Ÿ˜…

Bitwarden has an "identity category" where you can fit many of those things, and many of your examples are literally fancy user and/or password combinations, which can be stored in the "standard" category (SSH or API credentials, crypto wallets ๐Ÿ˜…), and the fancier things can be stored as secure notes, which obviously do exist in Bitwarden too.

Not a feature that would make me avoid an open source security solution.

Maybe you should revisit Bitwarden... it's really great.

They have some serious security going on. For example you don't just log in with a password, they also issue you a long key which is needed in conjunction with the password in order to access your passwords. So it's not enough for a hacker to know your password, they also need the decryption key, which only you have.

And they have other measures on their servers as well. This is no fly by night operation.
