I use both. It’s far from “miles ahead”

+1

I use BW for my personal use with my SO and 1P at work. I hit some errors in 1P that were crypting, stuff like "Failed to add this record" with no details, no help button, I had to fire up the chrome console for the extension to find out it was a 401 to our 1P portal. Very poor experience, probably related to our SSO setup but still.

Never had any weird issue like this with BW and I love the autofill shortcut and the absence of a popup when I access a password field like 1P.

So yea, YMMV as usual but definitely not miles ahead.

If 1password keeps applying their current development standards, I'm pretty sure Bitwarden will overtake them soon simply by virtue of not getting worse.
