Cost. Get a quote for a few thousand users from each vendor. Bitwarden and LastPass will come in around $50k, where 1Password will quote you $75k and have no flexibility to be competitive on their pricing. LastPass will probably drop to $40k later in your decision process to entice you to pick them.

LastPass has known issues and IT departments can make an understandable recommendation to the business to pick Bitwarden even with a slight cost premium. There is nothing to justify the insane premium 1Password demands. I have seen them lose multiple contract opportunities because of this.

Note: The dollar quotes are made up numbers, but the percentage differential is real. 1Password is often 50% higher in total cost.

Surely 75k for a secure password manager is better than 50k for an insecure one. They’re failing at their core competency.
