    I’ve used bitwarden for a number of years for personal use. My job uses 1Password which I’ve used for 7 months.

    In features they are very similar.

    Bitwarden has more granular URL matching (can use regex to match websites) whilst 1Password is weaker in this area (can do subdomain but no URI matching, no wildcard or regex).

    1Password UX is much better, certainly feels like a paid for service.

    1Password is much more expensive (monthly subscription)

    1Password 2FA can read QR codes from the screen and automatically puts the code into the website. Bitwarden needs the QR text pasting into the password entry and puts the code into clipboard when the password is used.

    Bitwarden can be self hosted (Vaultwarden).

    Overall I think I prefer 1Password but not enough to pay the subscription. Work do give me a free personal account but I don’t like relying on small possible temporary benefits. So I stick with bitwarden. I pay the $10 a year and I’m happy.

    Edit: corrected mistake in bitwarden cost

      You can export a .csv file from 1password and should be able to import that into Bitwarden, so you are not completely locked in.

      So bitwarden is £10/month?

      1password is like £3/month

      I’m guessing that must be at a different subscription level.

      Thank you for the really detailed rundown. I might try both for a while and see what I like.

        Bitwarden is 10 a year, but only if you want the premium features. It works well completely free, which is why it’s so popular.

          Cool definitely worth a try then.

          I will import my passwords from 1password and give the free account a go.
