What it is

Bitwarden is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted password manager for individuals, families and businesses, with apps for every browser, desktop and phone. The free plan covers unlimited passwords on unlimited devices, Premium adds an authenticator and security reports, and Teams/Enterprise add shared collections, SCIM and SSO. It can also be self-hosted, and offers a separate EU cloud region. Reviewers find the interface plainer than 1Password's, and autofill can miss complex login forms.

Community sentiment

What people praise

Users value that it is open source and self-hostable, that the free tier is genuinely usable on every device, and that team plans cost little for what they include.

What people complain about

The most repeated gripes are a dated, clunky-feeling interface, autofill that misfires on complex or multi-account logins, and an admin console with a learning curve.
