any alternative you folks recommend?



Bitwarden. Both the client and the server is open source. You can selfhost the server, or you can use their server.


KeepassXC, or Keepass databases and Strongbox for a polished iOS app. And any cloud file sync service.


I haven't changed my setup of (free) keepassxc in (free) Dropbox in 10+ years. You can even add a standalone version of keepassxc in there if you're worried about needing passwords from a new computer. Usually, simple beats free (Spotify > torrents) but somehow this setup has always just worked perfectly for me.

That being said, for friends and family I'd suggest paying for 1password. Or using a paper notebook. Most alternatives don't have a stellar track record with security.




Edge with Authenticator works very well, it's cross-platform, and as of recently has near-feature parity with Lastpass and 1Password.


I really enjoy using pass / gopass


I just use `pass` but if you want bells and whistles, then that probably will not work for you.


Bitwarden, of course.


Google/Chrome offer the best user experience for password management, but I guess many people using 1Password are doing so specifically to avoid Google?
