Just wondered what people are using for their password management.

I’m currently using 1Password on a family subscription for both password management and 2FA (and then Authy for the 1Password 2FA). But I’m seeing a lot more posters — particularly since joining Lemmy — championing BitWarden (either cloud or self hosted) and Raivo OTP as a cheaper, almost-as-functional alternative.

So is it worth the switch? Will I lose out on anything by doing so?

Just interested in your thoughts and trying to stimulate conversation!
