I love Bitwarden and use it every day, but I pretty much also agree with his post. I have Bitwarden for personal stuff and 1password for my, and the 1password experience is night and day better. It's just so good, it always works. Bitwarden sometimes (especially on Android) will just not autofill. On my PC sometimes it won't recognise the domain correctly even though I've got an entry set for "base domain" etc. I am ALWAYS fighting with it to get my passwords out. Look at the Bitwarden Reddit its full of similar complaints.

Of course the price between 1pass and Bitwarden reflects why 1pass is so much better. And you don't really realise how clunky BitWarden is if it's all you use, until you also have to use some other password manager.

And I could tell you the opposite about 1Password. About half of the time, the extension does not realize ond which domain it is and autofill is broken.

To each their own (bugs).

Fair point - I've had no issue with it but I certainly don't use it as much as I do Bitwarden.
The Bitwarden Chrome extension is really bad, which is also the reason I've never been able to switch from 1Password to Bitwarden.
Yes, it's terrible. It's where I landed when I migrated from Keepass though so I've stuck with it.
1Password user here and it regularly shits the bed with autofill or recognising a domain.

Not to mention the absolutely garbage performance of the Windows desktop app.
