I know they're financially sustainable so can afford the expertise they need (which is part of why I think subscription a good model for software like this - I want Agilebits to be on a long-term secure footing). I guess you could look further into those.

I know Agilebits pays for regular 3rd party security audits / pen tests. I happen to have been personally recommended 1Password by a genuine security expert who uses it for his family, and that's about the best I can do. Somewhere you have to rely on good old human trust.įinding the info re where to place your trust is tricky. Which is of course why you're asking, but you're not guaranteed to get answers from people you know to be any more knowledgeable than you. I just don't have the security expertise to make the judgement, and, let's face it, that's true of most of us. Personally, I would recommend 1Pass for a 'it just works' and Bitwarden hosted yourself if you want the same but on your own premises via. BitWarden: played around with this for a while, but didn't switch from 1Pass mostly because I am not willing to host something like this myself and it costs the same as 1Pass with less features and polish. I switched from them when they were bought out by LogMeIn, but it doesn't look like the product has meaningfully changed since then.

The UI and UX feels ten years behind 1Pass and Bitwarden, it's slow and not nearly as featureful as the alternatives. LastPass: was forced to use this at my previous job, absolutely hated it. Not a huge fan of the subscription model, but probably the service I am most happy to pay for. 1Password: my favorite of the bunch so far, great UI and UX, works seamlessly across all my devices with all the stuff I want and need: credit card info, logins, 2FA, automatic hidden email generation via Fastmail, easy sharing and family accounts work really well, CLI for use in scripts and now builtin SSH-key management. Was surprised at how well it worked, but syncing was too much of a hassle so I gave up fairly quickly. KeePassXC: tried this when I was looking for a self-hosted, open-source alternative to LastPass years ago.

Throughout the years I've tried most of the more popular ones on the market, some times forced via work and other times because I was curious.

Best lastpass alternative
