I don’t use password managers and want to start using them, which is your preference and why?

Both did not work on my device without Play Services

I think when I was originally looking a few years ago, Bitwarden only had an AppImage, non auto updating rpm and deb, or a an unofficial flatpak and was xorg only, so good to hear that they’ve improved in that area.

Open source doesn’t mean something is better. What coding language these products use matters a lot as well, as some coding languages are inherently more secure than others. 1Password has clear edge here. They use mostly Rust, especially for all the core modules and their backend runs Rust core + Go…

I really like Proton Pass. Recently, I gave Bitwarden a go - I made my account on their website and then tried to login with the Android and Linux apps. Neither app would accept the password. Not the first time this happened to me.

By open source BS I obviously meant the fact many here think that something being open source automatically makes something better, but it doesn’t. It’s more transparent, but it might still be less secure than well executed proprietary code. 1Password is also audited regularly and has $1M bug bounty…

It’s the backend for an E2EE password manager, the programming language used is not nearly as important as you are making it out to be.

Bitwarden. If you just want to store passwords, Bitwarden. Simple UI, good mobile app, good browser extension, free, and open source. Never thought for a second of ever using anything else. Basically the perfect service for me.

Should I use Bitwarden, Proton Pass, or 1Password?

You don’t seem to be arguing in good faith, so this will be my last comment regarding this. If you had checked the backgrounds for either one of my sources, you would know that they are both cybersecurity experts, so I definitely would rather trust them than some random person on the internet who still hasn’t given any sources for their claims other than ChatGPT. I may not be an expert when it comes to this, but at least I’m not trusting AI to come up with my justifications.
