Bitwarden truly doesn’t get enough credit for being completely open source and having independent implementations of the server code (Vaultwarden) with which the official clients are fully compatible, which I can run on a vm on a server under my desk. In 50 years time, who knows if any of these companies will be around. But I’m pretty sure that my grandchildren, should they want to, will be able to open a gpg encrypt…

I am fascinated by the idea of being 50 years from now, and doing digital archaeology more or less. So much of our actual output is now digital and stored digitally. Given how I have experienced technology up until this point, my assumption is that everything I will create for work or for pleasure, is more or less ephemeral. It has certainly proven true for work.

Is bitwarden’s only differentiator being open source and self hostable? Im looking at other services and thus far see no reason to leave 1Password.

is that not enough? It's also inexpensive and works very well on all platforms.

I think we (or our descendants) will be surprised by the longevity of some of the file formats in use today. I would wager that it will be possible and not too unusual for regular users to open files in formats like PDF, zip or jpeg 100 years after their inception.

To how many non-SWE members of your family could you say 'here is the Netflix password, you can decrypt it with gpg', and have them be like 'ah yes, let me just `man gpg` this will be no problem'?

i would imagine if a lot of money, like millions, was on the line, people get really resourceful all of a sudden. of course, we're not talking Netflix passwords but usernames and passwords to brokerages, bank accounts, etc.

1Password truly doesn’t get enough credit for the choice to encrypt every vault with a high entropy secret key passed device to device. It surely costs them in UX and support load, but it would have made a breach like this essentially inconsequential.
