Anyone have suggestions for a good alternative?

I've been using 1Password (family version to share some subset within the family) for more than 10 years now, but I have to say the user experience has degraded quite a bit. Anyone have a better overall alternative? (Doesn't necessarily have to be cheaper.)

Using Enpass, migrated from 1Password when in need of a Linux client some 10years ago. As early user I was grandfathered into a free lifetime account and eventually was required to pay a discounted lifetime fee $70 through Apple, which I’m fine with, it’s Indian developers need to pay their rent too.

Enpass has all features I need, on all platforms including iOS. It syncs using the api of one of the free storage providers, WebDAV or even over WiFi. Having some 600 entries and a few attachments (copy of ID Cards etc) and never had any performance issues. Nor issues with subdomains. Regular updates, most recently added PRF (Pseudo-Random Function) for passkeys. It lacks a command line client, which I can live with. Nor does it support the fingerprint reader on Linux, instead has a pin option for quick unlocking.

I've used 1PWD for at least as long as you, and when renewal comes around (EDIT: oops, guess I never "upgraded" to subscription plan) I'm going to cancel and just stick with Apple's Passwords app (née Keychain Access). First "cloud!", subscriptions, now 33% price increases for the hell of it, I'm outta here, 1PWD. (Though in looking just now, we never upgraded to v8.0, so I guess I'm already outta here.)

I only suggest Passwords because if you've used 1PWD for that long, odds are good you're on Apple HW/OS. It does everything we need in our household, including shared creds. One of these days I'll get off me arse and export the 1PWD stuff (IIRC, 1PWD->Apple PWDs is doable). Right now we use 1PWD as R/O, and all new stuff goes in Passwords.

Good to hear that is a viable option. I am mostly on Apple devices, but do need Linux and Windows support, so I don't think it will work for me.

I'm working on an alternative that I hope would be better. https://github.com/lockstepvault-hq/lockstep (early alfa project)

Would you mind sharing what user experiences are not ideal with 1Password, I'd like to know I can address those those in Lockstep.

I'd say it's mainly to do with browser/iOS plugins not being responsive. I find myself often resorting to opening the app and copying and pasting the password or other info because autofill function doesn't work on different websites.

Otherwise minor UI things like categories on the sidebar which made it easy to navigate, but they got rid of it a while back.

Good luck with your project!

If you're in the Apple ecosystem, password and passkey management via iCloud is included.

Don’t lock yourself in apple ecosystem especially in such important thing as password management.
