Top Recommended Replacements
Bitwarden
FREEBest Overall 1Password Alternative
Why we like it
Fully open-source and independently audited; unlimited passwords on unlimited devices for free; recently updated, modern UI; supports passkeys.
Keep in mind
The UI, while improved, is still more functional/utilitarian than the 'magical' feel of 1Password.
Proton Pass
FREEBest for Privacy & Ecosystem Integration
Why we like it
Swiss-based privacy; includes 'Hide-my-email' aliases to prevent spam; open-source and audited; seamless integration with Proton Mail/Drive.
Keep in mind
The advanced 'Pro' features (like integrated 2FA) require a subscription.
KeePassXC
FREEBest for Offline / Local-Only Use
Why we like it
Zero cloud risk (data stays on your machine); highly customizable; totally free; support for AES-256 and ChaCha20 encryption.
Keep in mind
No native cloud sync (requires manual file movement or Dropbox/Syncthing); no official mobile app (requires third-party compatible apps).
Vaultwarden
FREEBest for Self-Hosted Power Users
Why we like it
A lightweight Rust-based implementation of Bitwarden; unlocks almost all Bitwarden 'Premium' features for free; perfect for home servers (Docker).
Keep in mind
Requires technical knowledge to set up and maintain a server; not an officially supported Bitwarden product.
NordPass
FREEBest for High-Speed Performance
Why we like it
Uses the cutting-edge XChaCha20 encryption protocol; extremely fast and modern interface; excellent passkey support across all devices.
Keep in mind
Free version only allows one active session at a time; closed-source.
RoboForm
FREEBest for Complex Web Forms
Why we like it
Industry-leading form-filling accuracy; very budget-friendly paid tier; supports emergency access features similar to 1Password.
Keep in mind
The web interface feels dated compared to 2025 standards.
Keeper
Best for Customization & Enterprise
Why we like it
Unmatched vault customization (custom fields/folders); zero-trust architecture; includes 10GB of secure file storage.
Keep in mind
No 'free' version for multi-device sync; many key features (like breach monitoring) are paid add-ons.
Enpass
FREEBest Offline-First with Cloud Choice
Why we like it
Offline-first but lets you choose your own cloud for syncing (iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive); supports passkeys; one-time purchase option available.
Keep in mind
Mobile app is restricted to 25 items on the free tier.
