However, because of this, there’s an important security safeguard you need to take. Getting all your data from LastPass to Bitwarden is surprisingly easy. But 1Password has no free option and it’s not open source (though they have submitted to security audits). Finally, it’s compliant with top privacy standards like GDPR, HIPAA and CCPA.Īll that said, 1Password is a solid solution and probably more feature-rich and polished than Bitwarden. Second, Bitwarden is subjecting itself independent third party security audits.

Theoretically, this would mean that it’s security and privacy claims can be vetted by anyone.

So, Bitwarden meets all the criteria.īitwarden has a couple other important bonuses. In this case, Bitwarden has premium and business tiers that charge money. The main exception to this is when the company has a viable business model that doesn’t rely on selling your data.

I often recommend avoiding free products because in many cases that makes you (or more specifically, your data) the product. Has a viable free tier (this is the one that put it over 1Password).Supported on all major platforms (Mac/Win, iOS/Android).But I wanted something I could wholeheartedly recommend to my audience. I have a lot of respect for 1Password and I know people who swear by it. I’ve read several password manager reviews by sites I trust, and there are several that show up towards the top in most lists: LastPass, 1Password, and Bitwarden. I haven’t fully switched myself, but I wanted to test drive it for my audience (aka you). (And the recent data breach clinched it.) I’ve looked at several good options, but in the end, the answer was pretty obvious: Bitwarden. Thanks to the recent PR debacles with LastPass, I decided I needed to look for a new password manager solution.
