Best open-source alternatives to 1Password
The popular team password manager and secrets vault.
1Password is a widely-used credential management platform that stores passwords, SSH keys, and sensitive documents behind a single master password. Teams rely on it for shared vault access, audit logs, and integrations with SSO providers. Its subscription pricing and cloud-only data residency push security-conscious teams toward self-hosted alternatives.

AliasVault is an open-source, self-hostable password and email alias manager aimed at users who want a privacy-focused alternative to traditional password managers. It helps people create unique identities, generate strong passwords, and create random email aliases for different websites while keeping sensitive data end-to-end encrypted. The project is designed for use across web, browser extensions, and mobile apps, with cloud-hosted and self-hosted deployment options. Its architecture emphasizes zero-knowledge security: the master password never leaves the user’s device, and even received emails are encrypted. The README also highlights autofill support, import from other password managers, and built-in TOTP authentication as part of its broader feature set.

What to look for in a 1Password alternative
Look for end-to-end encryption at rest and in transit, with a zero-knowledge architecture where the server never sees your plaintext secrets. Evaluate browser extension quality, mobile app support, and whether the tool supports sharing vaults with fine-grained permissions. Emergency access and backup/export workflows are critical for teams that cannot afford credential lockout.
