Bitwarden vs 1Password

Bitwarden vs 1Password is not an easy debate; both password managers are good and strong, with many advanced features. In this article, we will go through all the features that these two password managers have to decide which one to use.

Bitwarden vs 1Password: Security and Encryption

Bitwarden

1. Bitwarden has an end-to-end encryption for data protection. This feature prevents unauthorized access to your master password.
2. Bitwarden uses the AES-256-bit encryption.
3. It has two-factor authentication as an extra layer for keeping your passwords and master password safe and unreachable.
    

1Password

1. 1Password also uses an end-to-end encryption to prevent any unauthorized person from accessing your master password.
2. 1Pasword uses the AES-256-bit encryption.
3. 1Password has an extra layer of security that requires you to enter a secret key when logging in to your account. Even if somehow someone gets your master password, they would still need to enter your secret password to access your account. 
4. 1Password has a zero-information policy, which means the company does not share your data with anyone. 
5. Your data is stored in multiple vaults, making it more secure than if stored in one single vault.

Bitwarden vs 1Password: Usability and Ease of Use

Bitwarden

Bitwarden is simple and easy to use and set up. If you need it for your mobile, you can download it from the App Store or the Google Play Store. If you want to use it for your desktop, you need to visit the official website to download it for your browser or operating system. Once you install it, follow the on-screen instructions to choose a master password; Bitwarden will let you know how strong your password is and whether you need to change it to a stronger one. Your dashboard and the whole interface of the app are user-friendly and appealing to the eye. 
 

1Password

1Password is very friendly and easy to use. Once you install the app on your phone or the extension/program on your desktop, you will need to sign up. After signing up, 1Password will ask you to create a master password and will let you know if it's strong enough or if it needs changing. One thing 1Password has that Bitwarden doesn't have is the emergency kit; once you sign up with 1Password, you receive an emergency kit that contains your master password, a secret key (the key we talked about earlier), and the contact information for 1Password's support team in case you needed them.

Bitwarden vs 1Password: Password Sharing

Bitwarden

Even though a password should be completely personal, in some cases, you might need to share your password with your family members, or sometimes, with your colleagues if it's a business account. To share passwords with others on Bitwarden, you need to create an "organization account." You can then invite other users and use your vault to share your credentials with each person.
 

1Password

1Password has secret vaults you can use to share your passwords with others easily. To share a password with someone, you need to move it from your secret private vault to your shared vault. And if anything happens later and you decide to stop sharing your password with someone, all you have to do is to move that password back from your shared vault and into your secret private vault. Password sharing is easier and more convenient in 1Password than in Bitwarden.
