Comment on Google Says Sorry After Passwords Vanish For 15 Million Windows Users.

When it comes to security software, I usually recommend sticking to open-source solutions, which is why I’d recommend Bitwarden over 1Password. Their whole stack (backend, frontend, and native apps) are all open-source. A premium account is well worth the $10/year.
You can self-host their server, or self-host Vaultwarden which is an unofficial reimplementation of the Bitwarden backend designed to be lighter weight.

Use ButWarden myself for a login-only subset of my KeePass content. I absolutely recommend it every chance I get, but some people prefer 1Password because reasons. And 1Password is pretty much the best closed-source option out there, which is why I do so… anything to give people options that keep them away from clusterf**ks like LastPass.

Definitely true… Using 1Password is still better than reusing the same password for every site. I’ve never used it but it gets a lot of good feedback, especially from Mac users.

The only problems I’ve had with 1password are usually not 1password’s fault. Like needing to log into something that opened through the Gmail’s app’s built in browser that closed the page when the app loses focus.
I wish there was a way to link passwords and have note fields that are hidden by default. I’ve got a lot of stuff at work that is linked to my LDAP password but for various reasons uses different usernames on different sites. It’d be nice if there was a way to tell it “I know this password is reused, I promise it’s okay”
