@1password@1password.social @darkuncle@infosec.exchange So - lunch rules apply. It does no good to complain - I'm not *not* using a password manager. If I'm going to switch, I need something at least semi-close to being on-par. What are the options? Protests have no teeth without an explicit, realistic alternative. The only one I am aware of that even begins to approach viable is keepass (many variants, but I like KeepassXC) - but it's not a great alternative because it lacks a lot of features 1pass has.

@tbortels@infosec.exchange yeah it's not a great situation. Apple Passwords would probably work for my personal use case, but it's not universal. None of the open source or multiplatform stuff I've seen besides 1P has a combination of a stellar security track record and a UI/UX that's suitable even for non-technical users (and since I'm the tech support for my extended family I am not signing myself up for a bunch of work here)

@tbortels@infosec.exchange @1password@1password.social @darkuncle@infosec.exchange KeepassXC is now AI slop, I wouldn't trust it. It's getting tough. I'm using Bitwarden, which has a decent track record but isn't as user friendly as the larger options. Vaultwarden may be better for those who can self host.
