Can I switch from 1Password to Bitwarden without losing data?

Yes. Both support standard export and import formats, so you can move your vault across in a few minutes. Delete the old export securely once the migration is verified.

Do both offer passkey support?

Yes — both store and autofill passkeys across platforms, so either is a safe bet as the web moves away from passwords.

Bitwarden vs 1Password

Bitwarden and 1Password are the two password managers we recommend most often, and they win for opposite reasons. This comparison runs both across the same bench so the trade-off is clear before you commit a vault to either.

Unit	Price	Best for	Signal

021Password	Individual $2.99/mo (annual)	Best experience	4.6/5	—

Security model#

Both are zero-knowledge: your vault is encrypted before it leaves your device, and neither vendor can read it. Bitwarden is open-source and independently audited, which lets outside researchers inspect the code directly. 1Password adds a Secret Key alongside your master password, so a stolen master password alone can't unlock your vault.

Either is a safe choice

Both managers clear the security bar comfortably. The decision here is about cost and experience, not whether your passwords are safe.

Price#

This is Bitwarden's home turf. Its free tier covers unlimited passwords on unlimited devices, and Premium is $10 a year. 1Password has no free tier and starts at $2.99 a month — more than three times the annual cost.

Experience#

1Password answers back on polish. Its native apps feel faster, autofill misfires less often on awkward forms, and features like Travel Mode and Watchtower are genuinely useful rather than checkbox filler.

Which should you pick?#

Choose Bitwarden if price or open-source transparency matters — it's the better default for most people. Choose 1Password if you'll use it dozens of times a day and want the smoothest experience money can buy.
