Bitwarden Acquires Passwordless.dev

Bitwarden is the first password manager I ever used. Where would it use drag and drop and for what? I wish it would be better controllable vie keyboard-only. That is, when you use the Firefox add on and tab out of the Bitwarden popup and tab back in again it remembers the focus on e.g. the copy password button, you just have to hit space again and tab back to the terminal window where you need to use the password. But Brave doesn't remember the focus so annoyingly I have to grab the mouse.

In 1Password there's at least a half dozen ways that drag and drop could be used:

- Drag a password into a password field

- Drag an attachment from Finder/Explorer into an item

- Drag an item from vault to vault (or collection in Bitwarden parlance)

- Drag an item into a tag or folder to add that item to the folder, or add that tag to the item

- Drag an app to the 1Password icon to create a software license item with the icon of the app as well as name

There are also drag and drop functions, some similar to above, on iOS as well.

Bitwarden is... and I agree with the grand parent here, awful from a UX angle, compared to 1Password. It's certainly functional, but that's about where it ends for me.

You must be on mac, because my 1pw experience is horrible on Linux. Edit a password in the browserextention opens an new tab in n which i have to login all again. Ugh. Bitwarden at least doesn't do that. Drag and drop? Nope.

Technically it does the same thing on Mac, it opens the Mac app. But on a Mac there's universal unlock, so if you have the extension unlocked, the app will unlock, so it opens the item you want to edit in edit mode.

If you don't have the app installed it opens the website in a tab to signin and edit.

I use 1Password on Linux and this isn't my experience.

Until recently I was using it for two different accounts in the same 1Password business account, one account enabled with integration to the desktop app and a second account on another browser profile (for admin purposes) with just the browser extension.

Neither of those necessitated logging in again in another tab.

Still using 1Password, but Firefox containers have removed the need for multiple Firefox profiles.

For a second business I use Bitwarden, and that works well, but I find 1Password superior in so many respects.

With 1Password 8, AgileBits made 1Password an universal Electron app. Experience is virtually the same whether you are on Mac, Windows or Linux.

The 1Password browser extension and application should sync, but it’s experimental on Linux AFAIK.
