I just found this when looking for Canadian alternatives. Anyone else hear about gander? I’m doing my best to support home grown and open alternatives but I have to choose what I am doing on the platform. It’s unlikely that my older family will ever leave Facebook, but honestly, what do I miss by not being present there? Birthday posts on my wall and the latest vacation picture…

    Instead of 1password (which I have to use at work and dislike), you might want to check out BitWarden. It’s open source so you can even host it yourself. I use it personally but don’t self host it…yet.

      I have bad habits of killing Pi installs so I am terrified of self hosting bitwarden, bitwarden is a US company. While I am not a fan of some of the things about 1Password I think it is better than the Apple Passwords I am moving away from.

        Just started using Bitwarden actually. Have a lastpass account paid for the next 9 mo, so migrating over time. Bitwarden has an .eu option as well (also free), just have to remember to select it when logging in or it’ll look like your account vanished and then panic ensues. :D

          It has been a long time since I have thought about lastpass, they got into trouble for being hacked and the password and user names not being hashed properly or not at all. The .eu of Bitwarden is still paying for a US service, and I would not be surprised if the data was stored on the same servers as the ones in the US and they just have an office in the EU.
