If you are looking for an alternative take a look at Psono. It's open source, only sold B2B so it's free for individuals. It's made in Germany, so a European alternative to the US solutions. It has all the typical features with browser extensions and apps for android and iOS.
Hi, Sascha here, the main developer behind Psono. Psono has been audited multiple times so far, usually on a yearly bases. The last one here
https://psono.com/blog/security-audit-2024 (you will also find a link to the audit itself)
Take a look at Psono.
https://psono.com
It's quite similar to bitwarden, open source, has support for all common browsers with browser extensions, autofill and apps for android and iOS. You can host it yourself of use the free hosted version on https://psono.pw
A nice goody: Even the enterprise version with all the enterprise features like SAML and so on is free for up to 10 users.
I hope not to offend anyone, but if you want a real open source password manager take a look at Psono.
I am Sascha, the main developer behind it and we have no VC money nor any plan to do a stunt like this.
Ever tried Psono? (I am Sascha, the main developer behind it)
It has SSO / encryption / self hosting / ... and even the enterprise version is free for up to 10 users and if you need more you only pay €2.5 / user / month.
Firefox is a product that hasn't found any way of monitization. Without money they cannot implement the features that chrome offers and web developers use on their web products. As such users will have zillion of little bugs, be annoyed which make them move to chrome and the circle will continue.
Let it die. Let Google be sued and forced to break Chrome away. Let every engine be based on the same engine. Less bugs. Easier for developers. Less user problems.
Have you ever tried Psono? (I am the main developer behind it). Its open source, client side encryption, offers free versions for individuals, regular audited and and bootstrapped / no VC money. Would be happy to hear your opinion how it compares to 1password.
I have build Psono, an open source password manager. The company was founded about 2.5 years ago (during the high times of COVID) and it was generating $4k on average directly from start. One should mention that I developed the product for a couple of years before I started the company and already had customers alined before I founded the company. I was running it then for 1.5 years as a side project and then beginning of this year decided to quit my cozy WFH, well paid, not stressfull day job to work full time on it (with recession and mass layoffs in the news).
If one is looking for an alternative, may I propose Psono? (I am the main developer behind Psono) It doesn't suffer from some of the reported issues and as such uses for example scrypt instead of pbkdf2 for the hashing of the masterpassword and the urls are for example also encrypted. Noteworthy its open source so everyone can take a look at the source code or ask questions in our discord channel.

Maybe you could do OP a favor and redo the calculation, assuming that an attacker knows that he used passphrases. Assuming that an english dictionary has maybe 10.000 meaningful words... And then even worse if you assume that the attacker even knows that he was using Bitwarden for that and an attacker can easily lookup the dictionary that Bitwarden is using. So with maybe 1000 words and 5 words used ...

Funny to see this post here... This is actually the next feature of Psono which can be used for free ... :)
And why not Psono? As the main programmer behind Psono it makes me sad not even to see it listed here :(
So in summary I'd say that HN highly disagrees with the author...

No problem. If you ever plan to move to Psono, then feel free to provide me a dummy export and Ill create you the necessary import functionality.
If you want secure files and notes too then have you ever tried out Psono? The free version supports those and solves most of the Cons (e.g. Psono has no offical helm yet either). (Full disclosure, I am the main developer behind Psono)
How about Psono? You can host everything on your own (so I assume that would count as "offline), client side encrypted and its free and open source.
Full disclosure I am the main developer behind Psono.
I am working on my password manager's android app. Implementing Android's autofill capability. Alot of fighting with flutter, android, kotlin, ...
The password manager is Psono (
https://psono.com) if someone wants to know. I built it myself because a couple of years ago when I started good alternatives did not exist.
