    Well they have an app for all the platforms i use, customer support, open sourced code, previous and existing customers that have experience and that recommend them freely, a track record of success, a verifiable business address, operations in a country whose legal system I recognise and offers me certain protections, the ability for me to pay using my preferred method of payment, and most important - not some willfully ignorant representative giving fallacious arguments against using a service.


  • Well partly yes. This is a self hosted community so I asked a self hosted question.

    The other part (I.e. why I haven’t asked anywhere about hardware solutions) is because I am not aware of a hardware solution that could do what a software solution can do: that is, store all my passwords, credit card details, OTP codes etc and work with any service that requires a password.

    If you know of a hardware solution that does the same then by all means share! I am open to alternative ideas as well.







  • Do you recall the rational for 1password?

    I can imagine the enterprise/business options are better than bitwarden but as an individual user I don’t need that and would only have the individual plan. It’s a little over twice the price of BitWarden and while every company I’ve worked at in recent years has had 1password i don’t see it mentioned on here anywhere near as often as BitWarden.
