Replaces 1Password

European alternatives to 1Password

Keep your password vault with an EU provider

1Password is a password manager from a Canadian company, with apps for macOS, iOS, Android, Windows and the major browsers. It stores logins, passkeys, cards and notes in an encrypted vault and syncs them across devices, so you only remember one passphrase. Teams use it to share credentials without sending them through chat or email, and to see which accounts still rely on weak or reused passwords.

A password vault is about the most sensitive dataset a person or a company keeps, which makes the vendor's jurisdiction, billing entity and processing location worth a second look before you standardise on one. Looking for a European alternative to 1Password gives you a supplier inside the EU or EFTA, with contracts and invoicing under European law. Proton Pass and Bitwarden cover individuals and teams, Passbolt is aimed at self-hosted and developer-led setups, and uniqkey targets company-wide rollouts.

Questions

Can I move my existing vault out of 1Password?

1Password can export your items to a file, and most managers here read a standard CSV import. Proton Pass, Bitwarden and Password Depot document their import steps, so check the format they expect before you export.

Which European alternative is closest to 1Password?

For a hosted vault with apps on every platform and shared team vaults, Proton Pass and Bitwarden sit closest in shape. Passbolt is the option to look at if you would rather run the server yourself.

Is there something suitable for a whole company?

uniqkey, Hypervault and Passbolt are positioned at organisations rather than single users, with shared vaults and administrative controls. Ask each vendor about provisioning, recovery and audit logging for the size of team you have.
