    Bitwarden because it’s open-source and cheap. 1password is more expensive, and LastPass is dead. Some people say that you should store your recovery codes in another manager like KeePassXC to enhance the security.

      FWIW you can use a Yubikey with Bitwarden as another layer of security if you’re using it to store your 2FA/ recovery codes too.

      Is there a way to port passwords from Apple Passwords to Bitwarden? I’d love to migrate but can’t seem to figure out how.

        Yes, I believe you can export passwords from Safari. It’s a little bit Janky, but doable. I think you have to go to Safari’s version of the keychain manager and there’s a button somewhere that lets you create an Excel sheet.

      Same, but I also use chrome a lot so I use chrome and apple.

      I’m always curious what the benefit of using a 3rd party password manager is over these tools that work just fine.

        The main benefit is being able to access passwords without using a web browser.

        For example, say you need to tell someone your credit card over the phone. With Safari you need to go into Settings > Auto Fill > Edit > unlock, and finally you need to click on the card number to view it. That’s a horrible process.

        With 1Password I can hit a global hotkey, you might use control-space for example, type ‘card’ and there it is. 1Password even has hotkeys to quickly copy the name/number/expiry/security code with a single key press (for each one).

        Another big advantage is most password managers have OTP support. Safari and Chrome do not.

          iCloud passwords and keychain does support OTP and auto fill. All of this can be accessed from the system settings and not through safari (though Apple really should make passwords it’s own app and integrate card and id info with it). It’s not a safari password manager. It’s just a current limitation in Mac OS that only safari can auto fill from it. On iOS it is universal.

        Well the immediate disadvantage you are facing is that you have passwords stored in two places.

          Sure, but on iOS and MacOS Safari, at least, you can specify which store to choose your password from.

          So there’s only one extra step to fill in a password.

    KeepassXC (Strongbox on iOS) + Syncthing to keep database in sync across all devices.

    1password. I’m keeping a close eye on Apple’s own keychain stuff. It sure seems like they’re moving toward a password manager app of sorts. Once that happens, then I’ll probably jump ship from 1password as it’s getting expensive, and I don’t love 1password 8.

      Couldn’t agree more with this. 1Password 8 is so bad and frustrating while apples product is looking more and more enticing. Especially with shared passwords.

      Raivo looks nice, I’ve been using authy for a long time. To sync all my authenticators since I used to swap phones often.

      Shame its ios only.

      Bitwarden is the best bang for buck.

    1Password for my personal stuff, but Bitwarden st work. 1Password is a far nice experience imo, even on version 8.

    But as someone else said: holding out for Apple to do standalone key chain and would likely switch then.

    KeepassXC on desktop and KeePassium on iOS. No vendor/cloud lock in and can pick how you sync the database.

    BitWarden and Apple’s keychain. However, passkeys are the future. Once you’ve used one you’ll understand how much worse passwords are.

    I currently use Strongbox on macOS and iOS. While it is definitely a product tailored to more advanced users, it is still easy to use IMO, and there’s currently no better option for those who want a native Mac app built exclusively for the Mac. There’s no proprietary cloud storage like popular commercial password managers (you can use iCloud, OneDrive, Dropbox, WebDAV, transfer over your local network, etc.), and it uses KeePass, so there is no lock in either. Additionally, if you suffer from subscription fatigue, there’s an option to purchase a lifetime license. I love it, and would recommend the product to those who are on Apple platforms. It doesn’t have all of the features of 1Password just yet, but the developer is very responsive, and it is getting better all of the time.

    I switched over from 1Password, as I was not very impressed with the direction they were heading. 1Password 7 is better in every way compared to 1Password 8, IMO. Also, moving from AppKit to Electron for their Mac app was simply not acceptable to me either, and there was no way I was ever going to pay an annual subscription for the “pleasure” of using it. I only ever paid up because of their high quality apps, and when that was no longer the focus, I was out.
