    When LastPass got hacked I switched to bitwarden and never looked back. Simple and effective interface, works on all platforms, I love it!

      It’s awesome. After using it free for years, I recently became a paid subscriber as a show of support.

        10 bucks per year is a small price to pay to support good business

        Honestly, I have been thinking of doing the same. I really don’t require any of their premium features and am getting it to show my support.

        $10/yr is dirt cheap for something so important in our online life.

      Their desktop app isn’t as nice as LastPass, but I’ll put up with a minor inconvenience to keep my passwords secure.

    That’s pretty good, I still wonder how long will it take for companies to actually implement them in practice though. Steam still uses its frustrating steamguard instead of just letting us use any generic 2FA provider like aegis for example, I doubt they’ll implement this any time soon.

      FYI: You can use Bitwarden as a 2FA method for Steam if you’re willing to put in the work.

        Same about Aegis, it supports Steam’s proprietary format.

        I am not that desperate to get it working there, it was just an example, but still good to know thanks! Hopefully they add proper psaswordless support eventually.

    How is Bitwarden having all the actually needed things for free, still developing, be most open and community-friendly of cloud-synced managers, allow self-hosting everything for free and still cost just 10$/year for managed premium???

    I bought premium just for the 2FA codes support and recently they announces btw it is free now. Like, buying premium for me now would be like donating, they give me anything I want anyway.

      I’d imagine their business and enterprise service is what currently or will pay the bills for them. Either way, I love their approach and the fact that it’s open source.

    Hopefully more services support this soon - any idea of sites/apps that support this now?

      Article links to 1Password’s directory of passkey supported sites/apps.

    Is this “webauthn” that Proxmox recently added support for?

    Am I missing something? Bitwarden already has support for authentication via biometrics or Windows Hello. How is this different from that?

      My naive understanding would be: a passkey replaces a password for an individual login; a biometric authentication replaces a password for the vault that stores individual login passwords.

        so basically: right now, I have a master password, and I can set up Bitwarden to bypass the master password with biometrics. With passkey set up, I will no longer have a master password, and biometric will be the only login method?

          It is not about logging in to BitWarden via PassKey, but logging in via BitWarden to other services.

          Confusing, but what it means is you not storing password in a manager, but a cryptographic private key.
