R.I.P.Open-source alternatives to 1Password
10 projects replace 1Password, the password manager. 9 shipped code in the last 30 days.
1Password became subscription-only when version 8 dropped local vaults, so every vault now syncs through its servers. Teams pay per user each month for a tool they open dozens of times a day. The LastPass breaches of 2022 also made many people want to understand, or run, the server that holds their passwords.
Bitwarden is the closest match, with apps for every platform, browser extensions, passkeys and sharing. Vaultwarden is a lighter, community-written server that works with the official Bitwarden apps. KeePassXC keeps everything in one encrypted file that you sync however you like, with no server. Passbolt is built for teams sharing credentials, with permissions per item.

What you give up by leaving 1Password
The honest part. Free and open usually costs something else.
- Autofill polish 1Password's autofill and Watchtower alerts feel smoother than most open-source apps.
- Recovery is on you Lose a self-hosted server or a KeePass file without backups and those passwords are gone.
- Family features Shared family vaults and account recovery for relatives are simpler in 1Password.
- Fewer audits 1Password publishes regular third-party audits; smaller projects may have fewer or none.
