1Password is a subscription-based password manager storing credentials and passkeys in encrypted vaults, with apps for desktop, mobile, and browsers. Full details →

Switching from 1Password to an open source alternative removes recurring subscription costs and lets you audit or self-host the code that protects your credentials. Open source password managers use the same strong encryption standards, support browser integration and hardware security keys, and give you the choice between cloud sync or a fully offline, local-only database. For most individual and team password management needs, these alternatives match 1Password’s core capabilities at no cost.
