Ha, I switched to keepassxc this week because of the VC funds sketched me out. Makes me sad because I don't know what password manager to recommend for average users now.
Bitwarden: Avoid at all costs (outage issue)

Another options is pass [0], which uses GPG to encrypt your stuff. Everything happens through the CLI but there are also GUI frontends for it. There's also gopass [1] which is very similar and compatible but does some extra stuff such as versioning with git. Similarly to this API compatibility there's KeePassDX [2] for mobile phones which is compatible with the KeePass database format. There's also KeePass [3] which…
I didn't find the sync that hard with pass and iOS (I'm sure Android has something equivalent): Set up a private git repo somewhere and configure passforios to pull from it. I have been running it for a few months now and it's smooth. This assumes you are on Linux or Mac.
Have they fixed the app?
It used to not work at all for me
Re: Bitwarden: Avoid at all costs (outage issue)
#93Oh my gosh, this is crazy. They can remotely disable your browser extension? I had just recently convinced a few people to switch from LastPass to Bitwarden. Personally I use pass with git, but that solution is not for non-technical people! What are the alternatives for our non-technical family and friends? Should we be encouraging Firefox and Chrome's built-in password managers?
Re: Bitwarden: Avoid at all costs (outage issue)
#94Guys keepaasxc + keepassdx + Syncthing work just fine. For $10 nobody will answer to you. Yes, Syncthing doesn't work on iphone, buy your mother an android , or buy yourself a tie machine and write apps for windows Phone
actually syncthing on iOS is pretty great using https://apps.apple.com/app/id1539203216. I'm nothing more than a very happy user.

#95I’m curious why no one is recommending 1Password. I use it and it’s pretty nice. Closed source though. Is that the reason people don’t recommend it here?

I sync my database to my Android phone with Nextcloud, works great with KeePassDX
Nextcloud is amazing, I just don't have the resources or time to self host right now so I'm currently not using it. Big problem for me is that most cloud providers don't actually support syncing to the filesystem through Android's Storage Access Framework and instead keep all of the data in the app data, requiring me to manually export from the cloud application, and re-import into the password manager.
No need to self host nextcloud. There are many providers that give you a hosted solution. Ionos for example does 2 TB for 12 euros a month.
Re: Bitwarden: Avoid at all costs (outage issue)
#97For those suggesting to "just" use KeePassXC and KeePassDX, the sticking point for me is that the UI experience with Bitwarden in my desktop browser and on Android is just so darn good. How do the KeePass' compare? P.S. I do use a KeePassXC vault for a small amount of stuff. Discovered KeePassDX for Android this week from a recent HN comment. It is very good. After playing with it for ten minutes I deleted the other…
I switched from KeePassXC to Bitwarden (self hosted with Vaultwarden) a couple years ago. The experience is considerably better, the BW iOS app is great, and the Firefox extension also works reasonable well. I could never get integration in either case to work as well with KeePassXC. I'm confident if BW pull any real nonsense, there will be a fork of the client, and there's no reason for Vaultwarden to go away...

What were the issues with keepassxc integration? I have been using it and it generally works flawlessly integrating with firefox, the only thing is that you have to sometimes press the reconnect to keepass in the extension if you shut down keepass while Firefox was running.
Keepassxc also provides an ssh agent and works as my secret provider, that also works without problems if it wasn't for gnome keyrings which decides that it will stick around after you log into gnome (which I rarely do). Does BW provide secret integration?

#98If you need "seven nines", your best bet might be to host it yourself. Probably not going to find it anywhere for $10/yr
You're one of the anon-Bitwarden boys? 1) I want sane error messages on the client side. 2) I want my feedback on community forums not to be shushed. You screwed up — own it. Community mods aren't janitors to wipe out user feedback. 3) I want the extension to be working no matter what kind of server-side problems you have. Let me know about a sync problem but don't terminate my access. But if you do think, that for $…
When you are on some corp firewall or mitm bitwarden has a very strange error message about owning keys or something. Took me a while to figure out the problem
Re: Bitwarden: Avoid at all costs (outage issue)
#99Lots of people are mentioning that you can host these types of things yourself, I want to say that that is not a solution at all. The entire point of these hosted password services is that they are a turnkey solution - I could give them to my mom, who knows nothing about technology, and trust that they work. I like using a turnkey solution myself even though I could self-host because I don't want to spend brain cycle…
I don't understand that argument. Using Dropbox or any other synchronisation service keepass (keepassxc on desktop/laptoo and keepass android on phone) works completely seamless. I wouldn't even notice that I am not using an online service.

I mean sure... But why go out of my way to use closed source software when the open source options are right there?
For me it's the features I mentioned above - having a CLI on desktop, and both ios and android apps is so huge because I have devices in all three ecosystems! One password manager that works seamlessly across devices is very appealing to me. The Bitwarden mobile experience needs a lot of polish, if Enpass is better I would switch.
But keepass has the same thing and it is open source. That's why the OP was asking.
