Head-to-head comparisons
Written comparisons with when to pick each one.
vs1Password vs Bitwarden
The two most recommended password managers. Bitwarden is open source, self-hostable and far cheaper; 1Password adds a Secret Key that protects a stolen vault even if your master password is weak.
vsBitwarden vs LastPass
The classic switch. LastPass had encrypted vault backups and source code stolen in 2022; Bitwarden has no incident on record, is open source and costs less.
vs1Password vs LastPass
Both are closed source and cloud-only. 1Password has no vault theft on record and adds a Secret Key; LastPass's 2022 breach exposed encrypted vaults with unencrypted website addresses.
vsBitwarden vs Proton Pass
Both are open source with strong free plans. Bitwarden can be self-hosted and is cheaper to upgrade; Proton Pass adds hide-my-email aliases and fits into a Proton account.
vs1Password vs Dashlane
Two premium, closed-source managers. 1Password has native desktop apps and a Secret Key; Dashlane works on desktop through its browser extension and uses Argon2d for the master password.
vs1Password vs Keeper
Both are closed source with business pedigrees. Keeper has a limited free plan and uses 1,000,000 PBKDF2 iterations; 1Password adds a Secret Key and has more named, dated audits.
How we check
Facts come from each vendor's security white paper, pricing page and published audits. What we couldn't confirm says "Not verified", and nothing we couldn't find is counted as a no.
