Bitwarden vs. KeePassXC

Bitwarden supports various forms of two-factor authentication, including time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), Duo, YubiKey, and other hardware-based tokens. This integration enhances the security of the Bitwarden account and allows to store and manage their 2FA credentials for other applications within Bitwarden itself.

KeePassXC works well for storing encrypted credentials locally. Implementing solutions requiring KeePassXC database synchronization between different devices might be challenging

• Bitwarden has great functionality all around, however, I would in the future like to see this product as an SSO/IDM distributor.

• Usability is worse if compared to other solutions but this is a good thing
• References are a good feature, but it may be complicated to make them work as expected
• Integration with other applications like browsers can be definitely improved
• Features like secure notes and storing secrets that are not credentials but very sensitive like credit cards are definitely missed.

Easy to use, just missing a few quality of life features. Nothing to suggest it's not awesome as it is, just bells and whistles to make it more convenient.

I think some of the interface could be improved. Also, it would be nice to have autotype working in Wayland. Other than that though, it's easy enough that I've been able to teach non-technical people how to use it effectively.

Other solutions felt more clunky or were significantly higher priced. Bitwarden seems to straddle the consumer/prosumer/SMB fence more than adequately by designing their user experience to feel welcoming but also trustworthy and reliable. The other tools seem to assume that users are ok with struggling in their onboarding process.

They are not exactly the same. KeePassXC is good for secure storing locally secrets like credentials. All the password managers mentioned above rely on storing data in the cloud and synchronization with various devices. KeePassXC definitely has much smaller attack surface. But at the cost of usability.

• Gives employer the piece of mind knowing that passwords are safely stored in one place
• If an employee leaves, you don't have to go searching for passwords, they should all be in one place in Bitwarden.

• It doesn't cost anything but does the job. No specific ROI impact.
