1Password migrants thread

[eltoslightfoot]

I try to reevaluate my password management subscription anually but I missed my 1PW renewal window, i.e., it already renewed. My concern is that the 1PW continues price increases and at some point I don't feel like its worth the cost.

Yeah I decided if I had to have a sub anyway, Bitwarden is the most cost-effective. Haven't regretted it yet.

Moving my whole family to a new product would be hard and risky. I'm really not in a position to test the waters with a different product. I can already hear my family complaining.

Yeah looks like it is gone from website. No lifetime license option anymore from their own website. Hopefully it stays at App Store etc option that still get it around that way.

i think they shot themselves in the foot. A license was part of the attraction to their product. I mean I agree a lifetime upgrades is dirt cheap at $60 but they could have opted for a higher priced lifetime like $200 , or 3-5 years free updates at $60 then you are on your own.

they area already obscure compared to 1PW/free Bitwarden and they are thinning the margin on why to pick them over 1PW.

local storage remains their selling point

Here's the differences, you actually get a full featured password manager on the free tier. There is some nice features with the paid tier though.

As for the sub being there for survival, they've said all along their "survival" is based on business subscriptions not personal subs - I can find their quote/statement saying that but I did come across that. As for the cost of the sub, its a no brainer if you're using it, 10 dollars a year is the cost of a single cup of coffee, less then a pizza.

Bitwarden subscription is one of the greatest price deals in history, the features are totally not necessary and the price is ridiculously attractive.

actually its worth the cost, its not worth the cost in comparison

id probably pay double for 1PW if it was the only option, but with their competitors giving free tiers like Bitwarden, Apple Passwords, Proton Pass it makes 1PW more unnecessary subscription

managing Bitwarden accounts is not friendly, the interface and lingo style is very corporate SAAS like.

I see there's a 7-day families trial. Maybe I'll try it out when I have a block of time to spend on it. Actually, if I wanted a longer trial I could subscribe. Their website says I can unsubscribe at any time. Does anyone know if that means they'll refund the prorated amount for the unused paid-for term?

Maybe I'll answer myself with

Cancel a Subscription | Bitwarden

This article details how to cancel an premium or Organization Bitwarden susbcription.

bitwarden.com

According to that page, you don't get any amount refunded unless you cancel within 30 days.

I happily pay the sub for Bitwarden and I have never regretted switching from 1PW years ago.

I think the cancel anytime means no lock in long term contracts, if you choose the monthly option. I accidently clicked on ms 365 subscription and 3 months later i wanted to cancel only to be surprised i got the annual plan but the deduction is monthly (dark pattern). I think no service will return the money of the current month.

If you want to test Bitwarden go ahead, but unless you want FREE or support FOSS , 1PW is better in every aspect except the autofill (last i checked) Bitwarden almost makes no mistakes and if it does you can configure it to fill any field on any page. Its very easy to tell Bitwarden was built from the ground up to be a SAAS/corporate password manager meanwhile 1PW is more of a consumer app.

I find Bitwarden lackluster when it comes to password management , organizing them in folders, quick edits, etc etc. One of the most annoying things is any custom field can only go way down under the NOTES field and there is no way to re-organize any fields , at least not the password ones.

Where custom fields are located annoys me also. I make use of them a lot.
