I expected a blog article with actual feedbacks from companies and data, but ended up on bitwarden.com main page.
Baseless claims can be quite common when it comes to marketing, but I'm genuinely curious: which password manager is used in your workplace, if any?
I've personally never seen in my (for now short) career anything else than Keepass.
KeePass (https://keepass.info/) is excellent for personal usage or for infrequently changing credentials in a team setting, which is why i've also had a good run with it!
That said, for something a bit more centralized and more easily manageable, i've seen solutions like TeamPass be used: https://teampass.net/
Well, TeamPass in particular has a pretty horrible UI (not respecting what i click with my mouse and janky dragging of items around, as well as weird display rules), but in general i feel like many companies out there might want a web app of sorts, even if only available in the internal network and self hosted.
(Not for most of us here, but for most people out there.)
I like Bitwarden and the work they do and I'm sure they're trustworthy seeing as they've been audited and such but the android app and some of the UI is clunky to say the least. I tried switching from LastPass (which is awful) and ended up going to 1Password
I like them both - 1password has better UX but I prefer supporting open source for personal use.
Same here. Opensource also adds to security in this case.
Also BitWarden's server has no knowledge of your phrase, and hence cannot, never ever, read your data. Forgetting your phrase means you lose your wallet. 1Pass and competitors do not have such guarantee, and allow one to retrieve access to the wallet by other means.
And how does this work when I share passwords with my colleagues in a vault? They dont have my "client generated secret key", so how can they read my passwords?
I know companies write stuff to sell their products, but I dont trust that, I prefer open source and the laws of logic over marketing.
For the record, Bitwarden's white paper is a good read as well. Available at https://bitwarden.com/help/article/bitwarden-security-white-....
(edit: fixed typos)
That whitepaper is a piece of marketing text. Not saying their audit did not take place. But they are soooooo powerful in their own system that they basically have access to everything.
BitWarden: not so much.
Alice is the one that initiates the request. She owns the vault being shared and encrypts it with Bob's pre-shared public key.
1Password says explicitly that you're not sharing the actual item in your vault and that it's creating a copy of it. It's probably generated client side and pushed to an external sharing service
I mean, I understand trusting open source but your statements seem like non-sequiturs. 1Password has been audited and has been an industry standard for a while. They seem to know security so at some level I don't find it difficult to trust them. Of course, I don't deny trusting open source and that's completely valid but not with these specific points
They cannot. That's closely related to why it is so secure, and why they can never see you data. That's why I use it.
It's sometimes called "zero knowledge".
> 1Password has been audited and has been an industry standard for a while.
MSFT products were also audited, and much used, and very insecure. Also 1Pass may be subpoena'd into sharing your data. I do not trust 1Pass, but you do you and feel free to do trust them :)
(This could be a limitation of the browser)
When I have to enter my master password into the browser, I'm left with the Lastpass tab focused instead of the site that I'm trying to log into. Although this is annoying for me, it's probably a major obstacle for people who aren't very good at computers.
Note for context - we are in a company that for obvious and less obvious reasons has a detailed list and tiering of allowed open source software for various purposes; while we have more control over our laptop than most companies such size, policies are fairly firm on what we are and aren't actually supposed to install.
OP here; this hype bothered me, but to avoid being accused of editorialising the target link, I try to include any strap line in full in the HN link description field.
But we do use Bitwarden where I work (large enterprise software vendor). Adoption is not consistent, but it's the IT supported solution here.

Also, I'm a happy and paying user personally.
It does the job, but very poorly. Same as LastPass.
I use 1Password now. If I didn't want to pay for it I'd use KeePass.
Also, we use Passbolt.
