Unlimited devices, self-hostable vault, importer that actually works.

Why switch

▸1Password Families is $8/user-ish with device limits on lower tiers.
▸Bitwarden is free for unlimited devices, has official self-hosting (Vaultwarden for small teams), and annual exports keep you exit-ready.
▸Browser extension and mobile apps are mature — the team stops noticing the change within a week.

01
Deploy Vaultwarden (small teams) or Bitwarden RS
Vaultwarden is a lightweight Rust server compatible with all Bitwarden clients — perfect under 50 users. Put it behind your reverse proxy with TLS.
bashrun on your server
```
mkdir vaultwarden && cd vaultwarden
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aa-humaaan/thealtstack/main/docker-deploy/vaultwarden/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d
```
02
Export from 1Password
1Password → File → Export → All items → 1PUX/CSV per vault. Export each vault separately to preserve structure.
03
Import into Bitwarden
Web vault → Tools → Import data → format 1Password (1pux/ifm). Folders map to folders; attachments need a manual pass.
04
Roll out clients
Point the Bitwarden extensions/apps at your server URL, enable TOTP autofill, and turn on the emergency kit/export policy so the vault never becomes a new lock-in.

⚠Passkeys and SSH agent support: Bitwarden has them, Vaultwarden tracks upstream with a lag — check before you rely on them.
⚠1Password Travel Mode has no equivalent; plan offline access via client cache instead.
⚠Set a backup cron of the vaultwarden data directory — a vault is the one database you always back up.
