A review of my experience with Bitwarden after several years of self-hosting it, and why I decided to move away from the password manager.

I prefer 1Password. They use a secure encryption key together with your master password. If you lose the encryption key, your data can’t be recovered. The key is only needed during the initial setup annd after that you unlock the vault on your device with your master password.

This means if their database ever gets hacked, your data is encrypted in a way that not even you could get at unless you have that secure key.

Is it open source? If not you can't know what they use there, just what they tell you to sell their stuff.
