What you give up vs 1Password
- Not a password vault; does not store or generate passwords for websites
- Requires a reverse proxy to function; no standalone mode
- LDAP/AD integration configuration is complex for non-enterprise users
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Authelia on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (1Password: per-user subscriptions forever).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (Apache-2.0).
