  • Bitwarden

    Bitwarden infrastructure/backend (API, database, Docker, etc). (by bitwarden)

  • vault-plugin-secrets-onepassword

    Hashicorp Vault plugin integrates with 1Password Connect to allow for the retrieval, creation, and deletion of items stored in 1Password.

    People thinking this is an absurd amount of money are sleeping on how 1Password is quietly positioning itself to become the ground truth storage solution for corporate secret management, across devops and non-technical groups alike.

    Given Hashicorp's market cap of 11B, and 1Password's narrative on how to become even more central to corporate use cases by being the storage layer for Vault deployments, it's a very reasonable leap for them to make!

  • onepassword-operator

    The 1Password Connect Kubernetes Operator provides the ability to integrate Kubernetes Secrets with 1Password. The operator also handles autorestarting deployments when 1Password items are updated.

    I think you are on the money here. I hadn’t spotted this but they have a k8s plugin for example:

    https://github.com/1Password/onepassword-operator

    This solves the “restart pods when my secret is updated” issue which suggests to me that they are not just paying lip service with these integrations.

  • pass-import

    A pass extension for importing data from most existing password managers

    Yeah, GP's acronym ain't great. But if you sub out "wife" for "significant other" or just "family" then you have to admit that this is a real phenomenon.

    I use pass [0]. To me, it is the best password manager that I've ever used. Command-line-first, free & open source, built on git... it's great, and suits all my needs. From the perspective of someone who spends most of their day behind a CLI, it is "simple" and "just works" more than anything else.

    But it's not going to work for my significant other, who is very intelligent but isn't a software engineer. They're not going to learn git so that they can manage passwords, and the app doesn't abstract away git enough for them to avoid needing learning it. Hence, despite its merits, it fails the "SO acceptance factor" or whatever you want to call it.

  • 1password-linux-to-bitwarden

    Takes a 1Password 8 export (.1pux) & converts it to Bitwarden importable JSON. (Linux / macOS / Windows)

    They have been doing some pretty unfriendly moves towards their long-term customers, like making sure the new 1Password cannot be used without 'the cloud' like the old one could be.

    I have no doubt raising more VC money will only accelerate such trends.

    In fact I've decided to move off of 1Password to BitWarden, since at least one can realistically self-host it. That being said, it's not exactly easy to migrate from the latest 1Password so I wrote my own little utility to do it[1].

    I think we need more competition to VC backed products in general, just imagine what would happen if the building blocks of say a GNU/Linux system we take for granted today would've been built with the mindset that investors are going to want a return on their investment.

    I am not saying there's anything wrong with that in principle, but am not sure I want to surrender my passwords to these kinds of incentives.

    They probably should merge with https://github.com/external-secrets/kubernetes-external-secr...

  • MacPass

    A native macOS KeePass client

    Looking around, on macOS there’s also MacPass[0] which looks decent (good enough that I could see myself contributing for the last few % of polish), and gnome-passwordsafe[1] looks reasonable on Linux (if a bit too mobile-y for a desktop app). The only notable hole in the platforms I use is Windows… perhaps it’s time to spin up a WinUI Keepass project.

  • bitwarden

    Discontinued Bitwarden client applications (web, browser extension, desktop, and cli) [Moved to: https://github.com/bitwarden/clients]

    I wholeheartedly agree with the UX comment, and for the "leveling up security" part specifically, I'll point out that 1P 8 now has a "generate horse-battery-stable 'security question' answers" button, which is about as close to the intersection of good UX and good security as I can imagine

    My experience with Bitwarden is that their browser extension is gravely broken, which is a subset of UX, but crosses over into "how is this not a 'stop all work and fix it' bug?": https://github.com/bitwarden/browser/issues/1620

    I have a paid Bitwarden subscription, because I wanted to give it a fair shake, but based on my experience thus far it'll be years before they catch up to AgileBits

  • infrastructure

    Discontinued The infrastructure monorepo for the Rocky Linux project. This project will be archived/deprecated in the future.

  • vaultwarden

    Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust, formerly known as bitwarden_rs

    Bitwarden is a bit of a pain to self-host, it's built for a much bigger scale. Vaultwarden is a simpler solution, and is compatible with the Bitwarden apps. For a handful of users it is worth a look: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
