I’ve been using 1Password for a long time and have around 400 to 500 passwords locked up in there. It used to be a single purchase but as is the case these days it morphed into a subscription model that gets expensive when you factor in all the employees in my company.
I had a prod from my calendar that it was time to shop around before renewal of the annual sub.
I downloaded and trialed Lastpass, Dashlane, Keeper and a few forgettables.
Keeper had a lousy interface and although it’s open-source they do charge if you want the equivalent of 1Password features.
Lastpass is really good but Dashlane is excellent. Dashlane has a freebie option of up to 50 passwords which is enough for my employees so big saving there and it’s a lot more user friendly. 1Password is a good app but Dashlane anticipates things better. Also it has a good VPN so that’s a bit of a saving.
@aidy - Yes you can still purchase a stand-alone license for 1P. I’m adding a link to a forum discussion on their website that explains how to get it. Good luck.
Yes, I know but as they’ve stated it will not be updated - so it has a potentially short lifespan. I bought 5 / 6 and faced the dilemma of buying 7 with no guarantee of future use or go subscription.
I’ll add again that Lastpass beats 1Password for usability / intuitive use and the free version (max 50 passwords) is, err, free. It’s saving me about $300 on the whole and I prefer using it.
Someone else on the forum recommended BitWarden which is free. I’ve move all my passwords over to that from KeePassXC. I decided to do it manually and use it as an excuse to prune those passwords/services I don’t use any more (and deleting the associated accounts at the same time).
yes, i recommended bitwarden here;
tried most managers for some time, including lastpass and 1pw,
after using bitwarden now for more than a year my conclusion remains: best choice plus free!
With everyone chiming in for Bitwarden I think I’m going to give it another go. I’ll run in alongside Dashlane again and see which works better. At the time of testing I ran 6 mangers and maybe I missed a trick. It was a little clunky but maybe I didn’t give it enough time to shine.
Take a look at https://www.enpass.io. It has much of the same functionality as 1Password, though less flashy and considerably cheaper. I tried it but ultimately stuck with 1Password due to difficulties importing the 1Password data built up over many years.
is there a password manager besides 1Password that will allow you to import all your 1Password stored passwords. I have too many to be doing it one by one.
I think BitWarden is pretty good. It’s free and works on Windows, Linux and Android as well as Macs and iOS devices. As I have an Android phone and run Linux and Windows as well as MacOS, this is very useful.
I use Lastpass, not the newer versions but the older version you get from the Mac Appstore. I was under the impression they’d made changes to it this year and that the older version were no longer supported, but so far it’s still working perfectly.
