I like Bitwarden too, but can't dismiss the fact that 1Password is superior to Bitwarden in many ways:

- Mobile UI is beautiful on 1Password.

- The UX from creating a password entry to auto-filling is easily better on 1Password. Bitwarden doesn't show autofill entries on login forms yet. That's a deal breaker, at least for me.

- Account recovery via a trusted family member.

- Additional security measure: private key in addition to master password.

Personally, the 35 USD fee is justified.

Bitwarden has all those features you listed. I use it every day.

You can setup a trusted family member. You get a master password and private key incase you can't access 2fa. You can setup autofill entries. UI/UX are opinions.

You pay $40 dollars a year for Family, $10 a year for an individual. Cheaper than 1password.

Hopping aboard to add that Bitwarden does in fact have all of those features. It's disingenuous of parent comment to imply/claim otherwise.

Sure the UI/UX is a bit basic... but honestly most of us should prefer that.

I meant the overlay popup interface by autofill on login forms:

Noted about trusted family members on Bitwarden.

I don't understand the private key part for Bitwarden. I am referring to the one here:

Is there an equivalent for Bitwarden?

I was able to enable that in the settings, but I've found it very hit or miss compared to when I used LastPass.

I meant the overlay popup interface which is still in the works:

You think they'll keep that price for forever?

I bought Lastpass when it was $12/year. Over the years and after being acquired, they tripled the price. I miss when technology used to decrease in price and provide better functionality.

Hopefully so, but I'd be willing to pay even upto 100 USD. I store a lot of things on 1Password these days that it's very hard to give up, and very convenient. It's not just passwords; medical documents, credit card details, passport, certificates, private notes.

They certainly won't. They used every trick in the book to get those of us who bought their standalone, one-time fee software to subscribe.
