Top reasons businesses choose Bitwarden over 1Password

Critical capabilities

1Password

Bitwarden

Widely compatible SSO integration

1Password recently added Unlock with SSO, which is only compatible with OIDC protocols.

Bitwarden offers flexible integration options with your existing identity provider using standardized protocols, including OIDC and SAML2.0.

Robust CLI and API access

The 1Password CLI and API offering lacks flexibility and is not yet established or proven effective for enterprises.

Bitwarden offers robust CLI and APIs to integrate, automate, or create scripts to help you manage Bitwarden and integrate it with other services.

Detailed event logs held in perpetuity

1Password event logs are held for a limited time and have less detail, making audits more difficult. 

Bitwarden stores events indefinitely and tracks over 50 types of detailed events.

Cloud and self-host deployment options

1Password only offers a cloud-based deployment option, forcing you to use its data centers. This is limiting for businesses that require maximum control and data privacy.

Bitwarden offers both cloud-based and self-host deployment options. For businesses that prefer to self-host, Bitwarden enables you to store user vaults behind its firewalls, proxies, and other services.

Open source transparency

1Password keeps code hidden, limiting transparency and forcing you to blindly trust the security protocols are strong enough to keep your most sensitive data safe.

Bitwarden code is open for review for maximum transparency and is regularly inspected by third-party auditors, security experts, and members of the open source community.
