Hy,
In your opinion do you prefer Bitwarden or Proton Pass and why?
It seems proton pass have better integration with Firefox.
Good and bad?
Thanks.
Been a longtime user of Bitwarden (free, and over the last year paid). It’s a straightforward/good but a bit boring UI, connects very well and easily into browser, phone etc. Works well, highly recommended, and having 2FA on paid version is awesome.
Been trying out Proton Pass for the last few days since I already pay for Proton Unlimited. It’s got a good UI and so far it’s been working well in Firefox and on my phone. It’s much better integration with Simple Login features so I like the slightly more seemless sign-up ability. It’s not 100% feature parity with Bitwarden paid though.
Bottom line - I prefer proton pass as a heavy proton user already BUT if I just wanted a standalone password manager, Bitwarden is probably better. Both are good options though, and competition is good.
(Possibly a silly question: Is there anything wrong with a boring UI? What makes a good UI not boring?)
Don’t combine email, password manager, or 2FA authenticator together with the same company. All 3 should be completely separate from each other.
Bitwarden has a distinct advantage for this reason alone.
Am I a boomer for still using KeepassXC synced via Dropbox?
Been using Bitwarden and Firefox for years and years. Never had any integration issues.
KeepassXC
I like Bitwarden because I can host my own server and control it all. Not sure if the other service does set-hosting. Maybe you can do the same with that?
Bitwarden isn’t a brand new solution. I don’t understand the comment in Firefox, though, Bitwarden has no issues with it that I’ve found.
I’ve used Bitwarden heavily in various browsers and Android. It’s really great and very effective at filling in passwords. Every now and then there’s a site that does something weird to make it autofill a bit wonky, but I can only recall seeing that happen with registration forms (sometimes the enter + confirm your password fields seem to confuse it). It’s near perfect at sign in forms that I’ve used.
Bitwarden+vaultwarden server = free enterprise access 👍
I prefer proton pass since I pay for proton and get access to everything so it’s convenient and it makes alias emails for me. It’s usually better not to keep all your eggs in one basket though.

I subscribe to both services, and each has its own unique advantages. Proton’s ability to generate disposable email addresses for questionable or bothersome websites is a standout feature that makes it worth the investment. Additionally, Bitwarden’s thorough third-party audit instills confidence, and its excellent autofill functionality coupled with the option to self-host data is highly appealing. Moreover, the ability to unlock your vault using a YubiKey adds an extra layer of security to Bitwarden. While Proton shows promise and has great potential.
Bitwarden because it is open source.
Both are open source
Both are open source. I will use the free version. Proton pass seems to have a UI more polish.
i trust proton quite a lot, but the open source part seems to be only partially true. on their github, i can only find client side code (ie. browser extensions, mobile apps), not the server code, which bitwarden does publish
