I have a series of #BitWarden questions and I'll try to keep them concise. Asking myself why I should pay almost $40 subscription for 1Password of BitWarden does what I need. First, if I need BitWarden for my PC, MacBook and iPhone, can I use the free account? If I need to pay, how much will it cost me. Does BitWarden work as well on the iPhone as 1Password does? I'll stop for now.

David Goldfield reshared this.

You don't need to pay, I think, you can self host it even. Or join someone and be on there for free or you share the price of the hosting etc. and it will work everywhere, if you have the extentions and all that.

I pay $10 a year and I use it on my iPhone, iPad, Mac and my Windows machine. It is accessible on all the platforms.

For the life of me, I can't get past this hCaptcha on BitWarden's site. I click on and retrieve accessibility cookie link and nothing happens. I don't seem to be able to check the box that says I am human. Gormally I have no problem with this, but I am definitely against a wall here.

@gwocher I encountered a similar issue with Hcaptcha. Some sites are using a text-based captcha but the link to trigger it was not obvious and my understanding is that it's up to the site to implement it. Regarding the "I'm not a robot" check box: because I'm using Brave with fingerprint and tracking set to maximum this caused the "I'm not a robot" check box to stay unchecked. I think I had to lower some of Brave's settings for just that page to allow me to check that box.

Chrome, edge, and Firefox wouldn’t let me check the checkbox, nor did using either Joz or NVDA help. Safari on my iPhone did the trick.

I've sometimes encountered pages where check boxes don't allow the space bar to toggle their state with browse mode enabled or what JAWS calls forms mode being disabled. Essentially, turning off the screen reader's browse mode fixed the issue for me. You may have already tried that, though.

I plan to listen back through the latest #FSCast, take some notes, and have a serious look at BitWarden. Thanks for the replies.

I'm definitely curious about the Bitwarden demo since 1Password is the only cross-platform password manager I've used so far so I definitely want to hear how Bitwarden is different from it. I was going to listen to the interview with Doug Geoffray but I don't think I can. I really like Freedom Scientific as a company and I own five of their products and I have a lot of respect for the talent that produces those products. But I just can't bring myself to listen to them interviewing the creator of a screen reader that they were responsible for pulling off of the market and doing so a few days before Global Accessibility Awareness Day. Please understand that I don't blame Glen Gordon at all for this and I have nothing but the highest respect for him. But Window-Eyes was a great screen reader and ... well, someone else from outside FS will need to interview Doug in order for me to listen to it.
