Side by side
Bitwarden's business plan: an open-source password manager with shared collections, user groups, event logs and an optional self-hosted server.
A cloud password manager with an encrypted vault, autofill, shared folders and business admin policies.
The interface is plainer than 1Password, and SSO and some policies need the Enterprise plan.
The 2022 breach exposed encrypted vault data, and many security teams now recommend moving to another manager.
