I went to bitwarden from dashlane that didnt even export secure notes

This is the same thing again.

I switched to 1password before all the funding and feel like there arent any viable alternatives now.

Edit: to be clear this isnt me on reddit this thread is just what backed up bitwarden.

1Password remains really great imo - people seem to use worse alternatives for ideological reasons but I don’t think there are any that are actually better.

How is it better than BitWarden? I’ve used both and they both seem fine but I didn’t see an obvious reason to prefer it. BW is a lot cheaper as well.

My experience is that 1P has a lot more polish and consideration for the user (err, I mean before the "8" debacle). I cannot recall a single time I have lost an autogenerated password, whereas with BW it happened about 50% of the time. Filling up my vault with hundreds of unnecessary password captures is better than losing a single one, because they don't know how important any one password is in order to gauge how "oops, sorrreeee, our bad" affects the user

Aside from that, 1P has a ton more item types, which if one thinks about a password manager as a key-value store, maybe that's not interesting, but for me it's been really great having passport details in a specific spot, without having to invent my own taxonomy for squeezing passport details into key-value pairs

Speaking of taxonomy, BW's lack of tagging is a dealbreaker for me. Why in the world do I have to pick just one "folder" for an item to live in: it can be "work" *and* "aws" *and* "testing" allowing me to see all work, all aws, all testing items grouped together

I do hate the new 1P api-only approach, but I'm not going to jump ship just yet because the competition is not yet better for my needs

Oh, try with something much worse, and open since Dec 2017 (no, migrating to a new place is no excuse at all to mark the issue as magically resolved)

Here I made a pretty clear video of the issue:

Did anyone care? Not that I know of. It's 2022, so that's been 5 years now.

I'll keep paying the pro account as long as it keeps working for me, but it saddens me that we still don't have a universally good and free service that can be recommended to lots of non-techies that are still stuck on the old customs of reusing passwords.

What's the issue with 1Password 8? Upgraded today to get the SSH agent and so far it seems alright.

[mdaniel]

It's partially teething pains as they reimplement the world in Electron, and partially "sour grapes" since that transition was coscheduled with the "and no more local vaults, too bad"

Their QR code scanner went poof, in favor of "take a screenshot to the clipboard," and it no longer is able to suggest based on the "bundle ID" of the native apps. I dunno if it ever did that for Windows, and of course Linux support is brand new, but annoying for my case nonetheless

I’ve found it to be an improvement.

I ditched it when they broke the ability to sync to the local file system. Before that, I was using syncthing to share my passwords between devices.
