Would you happen to know of better alternatives for sending critical email notifications? We're just now working on moving away from Mailgun into SES. This thread is making me reconsider.
To echo the other reply, I don't rely on email for critical comms.
If I had to rely on email for critical comms, I would use a product that lets me see the SMTP logs, and alert on failures. I would have some backup provider that I could then quickly shift to
But I'm still an on-prem email administrator, so my entire paradigm is pretty much obsolete. I may not be the best source of info in this space
I've started changes in my diet with an "acid reflux detox" for a month, which meant eating a very limited group of foods that most definitiely shouldn't cause acid reflux and drinking pretty much only water, after that I've started slowly introducing stuff that potentially could cause acid reflux and observing how I feel, in my case I get acid reflux almost immediately after eating something that I shouldn't, so it's quite easy to eliminate.
Yet another fine reason to use 1Password, which puts a lot of time and attention into user experience stuff like this. I know Bitwarden is the Internet's darling, but holy hell the user experience is so aggressively bad
I would give 1Password the advantage if for no other reason than they've been at it longer, and thus have seen more crazy stuff. I believe Bitwarden claims to have multiple security audits, so I do believe they take it seriously, but (and this part is just my opinion) they execute so much other stuff so poorly that alone lowers my trust in them. For clarity, 1Password also has multiple security audits, and have done a very good job of publishing the specifications for their formats, which further contributes to my trust in their execution
Bitwarden's previous(?) on-premises deployment script was a raging tire fire, which I openly admit is not exactly a _security_ issue, but it further lowers my lack of faith in them
With all that said, I think both Bitwarden and 1Password are miles and miles ahead of LastPass, so one will for sure be better off just picking one and trying it out. It seems to be a reversible decision, if you wanted to switch again
In other threads about this I was reminded that 1Password also has a security key that is known only to the client, and thus would not be leaked in the event of a cloud breach. In order to unlock the vault, one needs both pieces of information: the secret key and the master password. The secret key is cached on the client, which is why I had forgotten about it, but it is required for unlocks nonetheless
Thus the advantage goes to 1Password here, since Bitwarden does not require that "second factor" known only to the client (and I'm not talking about 2FA for logins, I mean for the vault)
