AliasVault is a modern password manager with built-in email aliases, fully open-source, a generous free tier, and unique privacy features. Use it in the cloud or self-host it.

While 1Password focuses mostly on passwords, AliasVault includes built-in email aliases without requiring any third-party integrations. AliasVault is designed for individuals, making it simple to use, yet very powerful for privacy protection.
1Password only offers their own cloud-hosted version. AliasVault gives you the choice: use the cloud-hosted version for convenience, or (for people with technical experience) fully self-host AliasVault so you stay in control of where your data lives.
1Password is an excellent choice for businesses and teams. AliasVault however is designed primarily for individuals and families who want a simple and focused experience that protects both your data and privacy: passwords, passkeys, aliases, and identities in one place.
