Instead of
Free alternatives to 1Password
Why look elsewhere
1Password is subscription-only, and a password vault is the one thing you most want to control yourself.
What to compare
Synced across devices (Bitwarden and Proton Pass have free plans) or a local encrypted file (KeePassXC); personal use or team sharing (Passbolt); and whether you will run your own server (Vaultwarden works with the Bitwarden apps).
