1Password is miles ahead. Its UX is WAY better, as is its cryptography architecture and its security whitepaper (https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-p...). Bitwarden doesn’t even come close.


Unfortunately 1Password doesnt have the main feature that most of us are probably using bitwarden for, self hosting.

EDIT: I have just noticed this. Everyone whos interest should submit!

and 1Password doesn't work from behind corp proxies with custom traffic inspection certs


We added a steering exception to our Netskope setup for 1Password. All the traffic going there is encrypted twice anyway, once by the app and again my TLS, so inspection doesn’t show you anything interesting.


It does fine here


Ironically, I tried to fill out that form, and I receive a 429 when trying to submit. I guess they aren't going to get a lot of requests to make this product a reality if they can't get feedback that folks want it.


No. The user experience of 1Password is just frustrating. I use it daily for work and don’t like it. I’ve used it longer than I’ve used bitwarden.


I started with keepass, and switched to Bitwarden for personal use, and LastPass for work (before LastPass imploded). I now use 1password everywhere. I've got complaints, sure, but Bitwarden regularly fails at input field detection on mobile and web, regularly fails at login (particularly with biometric). If a tool can't reliably do it's core functionality, it's not fit for purpose.


Unsure what it’s like on android but it never fails on iOS. I think both 1Password and bitwarden are great on iOS. My issue is with the chrome and Firefox plugins for 1Password. I never have issues with bitwarden but 1Password I often need to refresh after logging in.


I've never had any issues with Bitwarden.


It lacks the one feature most of the world cares about, though: support for Android.



1password started on iOS and for a long time it was Apple-only. I've not checked it in ages, and when I went on the homepage today I probably got confused by their copy in the Products menu, which says "Go passwordless today and start using passkeys with 1Password in the browser and 1Password for iOS". I guess it's some specific feature only available in those versions, but I read it as them still having only iOS and web. Even if that's not the case, having features limited to the Apple world shows that Android support continues to be an afterthought.


Their Android client has been maintained for over a decade, from what I can see. It’s not something even remotely recent as you’re implying. I’ve used the Android client and it works great.

Passkeys aren’t supported in 1Password on Android because Google has not released APIs to allow that. Not because Android support is an afterthought. Which you would know if you had researched this: https://blog.1password.com/save-use-passkeys-web-ios/
