Why Choose 1Password?
1Password is a paid alternative to LastPass and the free option, Bitwarden. One important thing to note: 1Password doesn’t offer a trial or a free version. You’ll need to take a leap of faith and subscribe to start using it. Fortunately, with the rave reviews it consistently receives online, it’s a leap worth taking.
Why I Switched from LastPass
I used LastPass for years, but the company’s recent security breaches made me rethink everything. Their handling of two large-scale hacks was shocking, exposing user information and revealing major mismanagement. If you’re curious, I’ve detailed my thoughts on this issue over on my Substack blog.
