I’ve said this before a few times and will say it again. AgileBits runs like a shady business that has used (and continues to use) dark patterns to push people to do things that they may not want to. Choosing 1Password removes choices over time.

It doesn’t matter if the app is great or what features it provides. The company is blatantly customer hostile, and its support staff probably echo top management’s words without much help for users.

I recently migrated to Bitwarden. It checks the boxes I need, including sharing specific information with someone in the free tier (though this is restricted to one person). The cheap paid tiers offer a lot more, and will not hurt your wallet like 1Password does.

You can also self-host Bitwarden server yourself, and there are ports available on different languages and stacks online if the base stack is not your preference.

I also can’t wait for Firefox Lockwise to become an equivalent competitor soon enough.

The days of commercial password managers with expensive subscriptions and poor support seem to be fading away. That’s good for everyone.
