Hy,
In your opinion do you prefer Bitwarden or Proton Pass and why?
It seems proton pass have better integration with Firefox.
Good and bad?
Thanks.
Don’t combine email, password manager, or 2FA authenticator together with the same company. All 3 should be completely separate from each other.
Bitwarden has a distinct advantage for this reason alone.
I love Proton but I don’t use their password manager because I use Proton for email (and calendar, and VPN, and cloud storage). If my email gets compromised somehow, I don’t want my password manager compromised too.
I use protonpass for alias email and bitwarden for passwords.
Just got an email from proton today about their “lifetime deal” for proton pass I currently use bitwarden and Firefox relay but I’ve been debating trying to drop my Gmail account and switch everything to my proton account. Thinking it would be silly to pay Firefox $12 a year just for relay when I can get that and more from proton for the same price.
All of that to say how exactly does the email alias work and can I set a custom email subdomain to just have an alias get created whenever an email is sent to the email I give someone without me having to go manually create it?
Why not simplelogin integration in Bitwarden? The first comes as part of your assuming proton unlimited package
Been a longtime user of Bitwarden (free, and over the last year paid). It’s a straightforward/good but a bit boring UI, connects very well and easily into browser, phone etc. Works well, highly recommended, and having 2FA on paid version is awesome.
Been trying out Proton Pass for the last few days since I already pay for Proton Unlimited. It’s got a good UI and so far it’s been working well in Firefox and on my phone. It’s much better integration with Simple Login features so I like the slightly more seemless sign-up ability. It’s not 100% feature parity with Bitwarden paid though.
Bottom line - I prefer proton pass as a heavy proton user already BUT if I just wanted a standalone password manager, Bitwarden is probably better. Both are good options though, and competition is good.
Been using Bitwarden and Firefox for years and years. Never had any integration issues.
Bitwarden is what I am using and I am having no problem with it so far.
Bitwarden because it is open source.
KeepassXC
Am I a boomer for still using KeepassXC synced via Dropbox?
KeepassXC + SyncThing in my case, to skip the middle man (Dropbox/Google drive)
I prefer proton pass since I pay for proton and get access to everything so it’s convenient and it makes alias emails for me. It’s usually better not to keep all your eggs in one basket though.
I subscribe to both services, and each has its own unique advantages. Proton’s ability to generate disposable email addresses for questionable or bothersome websites is a standout feature that makes it worth the investment. Additionally, Bitwarden’s thorough third-party audit instills confidence, and its excellent autofill functionality coupled with the option to self-host data is highly appealing. Moreover, the ability to unlock your vault using a YubiKey adds an extra layer of security to Bitwarden. While Proton shows promise and has great potential.
Both are open source. I will use the free version. Proton pass seems to have a UI more polish.
i trust proton quite a lot, but the open source part seems to be only partially true. on their github, i can only find client side code (ie. browser extensions, mobile apps), not the server code, which bitwarden does publish
I like Bitwarden because I can host my own server and control it all. Not sure if the other service does set-hosting. Maybe you can do the same with that?
I’ve been thinking of setting up my own server. Does hosting your own server feel secure? I feel capable of setting up my own server but I’m not sure if I trust myself to secure it appropriately.
