r/macapps on Reddit: 1Password alternative...?
May 9, 2023 -

I've been an old-time user of 1Password, but to be honest, I've recently grown disappointed with this app. It's full of bugs and lacks progress (the subscription model doesn't help either).

What are you guys using as an alternative for a managing passwords? Preferably something that works well on both macOS and iOS

Does anyone have a good alternative to 1Password?

I've been using 1Password for probably over a decade and I have friends in need of a password keeper.

We are 100% against subscription models and thus we need something new.

It's disappointing that the standalone license is no longer offered, but I guess it is what it is.

I've been a 1Password users since it's inception in 2006. What a great app that was back in the days! Simple, easy-to-use, powerful. But now it seems that the app has lost its way and has become bloatware. The move to Electron and now it's inclusion of managing crypto and NFTs has really shaken my confidence in this app and the team behind it.

Are there any alternatives to 1Password for the Mac that allow you to manage passwords across multiple Apple devices?

r/1Password on Reddit: After 14 years, looking for an 1Password alternative
February 8, 2022 -

I’ve been a 1Password user since the very first releases (bought the first license in 2008). I really trust the software quality of 1Password, but if the recent version 8 release for iOS is any indicator of the main app’s direction, I must start look for an alternative. We handle very sensitive customer data that must never be stored anywhere else than on our premises. (It doesn’t matter how many security certificates the 1Pwd company have.)

Does anyone have any suggestions for a 1Password alternative that allows local-only password storage? So far I have not been successful finding a solution and I don’t really want to revert to the old “encrypted spresheet” solution. o_o

Bitwarden and 1Password are the most recommended options. I already have access of Bitwarden family plan and I am searching for a personal one, you guys suggested me to use Bitwarden again. But, I don't like to use same things again.

So, here I am again, requirements are simple -

  • cloud sync

  • secure and privacy focused

  • mobile app support.

Please, don't suggest KeePass, I can't go with it.

Comment section is open and I'm waiting for your valuable suggestions.

Thanks

So with move to subscription and no longer being able to store my vault in iCloud I am moving away from 1Password. Need some opinions on the couple of alternatives I’ve narrowed down.

I’m happy with Bitwarden with both desktop, browser, and mobile clients, but never heard of the two you mentioned. Always up to take a look. Thanks for the post.

I would look into how their security model works to make sure that they have minimized attack surfaces before using them. 1password publishes their model here:

https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-paper.pdf

If this kind of evaluation is out of your scope (most of it is definitely out of mine), then try searching if that particular pass manager has been hacked / breached or not. You probably won't get any results for managers that haven't been on the market and I would probably avoid those ones until they have been established for a period of time.

For example, a 1password competitor, lastpass, has had many hacks in the past. There are also popular open source managers too that I'd look into such as Bitwarden.

Security is extremely hard to get right. You want a product that has been built and vetted by people who understand this stuff deeply. Look into who built the manager you want to use and their background to also decide if they have the appropriate experience to build a secure product.

Just because a password manager adopts some open standard for storing passwords doesn't mean it's secure. The implementation of that standard could be wrong and you wouldn't know until it's too late.

Basically don't gamble the keys to your house on a poor / unvetted security product.

r/1Password on Reddit: Undecided - 1Password v. Dashlane
July 4, 2023 -

Hi there. I've been using both 1Password and Dashlane trials for the past week - I am unsure on what to choose.
I have Dashlane Premium at about 80PLN per year, which is 20 USD. Comes out cheaper due to regional pricing. 1Password, as far as I'm aware, does not offer such pricing (or at least not in Poland). That means 1Password costs 44 USD!
I am unsure on which I should choose:
1Password: has the Secret Key (feels more secure), nicer UI, the option to add more types of items (although not sure if they'll prove useful), Travel Mode (however, an option I doubt I'll use often, if at all. Not something I'd spend extra money on.), and a feature I might love although it's so minor, "show in Large Type"
Dashlane: an included VPN (very quick, tbh better than other VPNs I've used, not been audited before which may be a concern), dark web monitoring allows for 5 emails (which actually did find some breaches not available in haveibeenpwned.com), is cheaper

Is the difference in features in 1Password worth paying over twice the amount I'm paying? Should I wait for some time to see if 1Password decreases their price and use their switch credit program? Or, is Dashlane good enough feature-wise that I shouldn't consider the switch? Thanks in advance.

One of the huge "Shut up and take my money" features of 1Password for me was the 'Type In Window' feature of the Windows app. You can drag your password field from the app to a text box in another app and it will type the password into that text box. This is great for game launchers that don't let you save your password *(cough) FFXIV *(cough)*. Also, if you don't want to click and drag there is an arrow where you can select the window to type into. The native windows app also lets you unlock your vault with Windows Hello / fingerprint. It isn't just some app around a browser with the extension installed... the browser extension is an extension of the app not the other way around If you read the Whitepaper on the product, it really feels like they are taking security to another level. Not only is there a secret key that adds almost 3x the entropy to your master password, they also don't even send a hash of that password / secret keyto the servers when you login., They use something called a Password Authenticated Key Exchange instead. Their encryption system uses a series of symmetric AES-GSM and asymmetric RSA keys to encrypt your data. This allows them to do cool things like sharing vaults with family members and / or have a family organizer be able to send a master password recovery link to a family member who has lost their master password / secret key. They have also come up with cool ways to securely share single passwords with non-family members as well. The entire system is really a work of art IMO. There is a level of security here that used to be very inconvenient to use, but the devs have found clever ways to make it easy to use for the average person. The app is also being actively, developed to help promote ever increasing password Hygiene. There is usually at least one update per month, sometimes two. Right now they are working on storing Passkeys in 1Password as well as being able to unlock your 1Password vault with a Passkey. This is a still emerging technology that is just starting to get some traction, and 1Password is pushing hard for it... even though it is going to take you from 1Password to 0Password lol. The devs are very active here and won't hesitate to talk show about online security in general. They will happily discuss why certain features are implemented they way they are and / or why some features haven't and wont' be implemented until they can be implemented in a manner that meets their security concerns. The team is obviously really passionate about security. All of this rambling is just me saying how I feel the app is worth the additional cost for the peace of mind and ease of use it provides. I can see at least some of the money is going back into the product, it isn't just being pocketed by using some buzzwords to make you feel like your data is safe when it isn't (eg LastPass). They have the documented proof that it is, and will back that up with discussion in public forums.. I feel a lot more secure with this product than I ever did in the many years that I was using LastPass.

r/selfhosted on Reddit: Should I switch from 1Password to the Self Hosted alternative Bitwarden?
November 23, 2022 -

The Lastpass incident woke me up and really made me think about what I was doing and why I was entrusting my passwords to others.

Now I have come to the decision to switch to a self-hosted password manager.

I am currently a little afraid that my current one might be hit at some point.

I currently use 1Password and would like to switch to the self-hosted version of Bitwarden.

What do you think, is it worth it and do I have to worry about security?

I know a lot about securing Linux servers, so I think I'm relatively safe, but what do you think?

Where should I host, can you recommend a secure hoster that is also trustworthy?

I am currently thinking about using Hetzner, Ionos or AWS.

If possible the hoster should be located in Germany.
