I had a really bad experience with the bitwarden cli. I believe it was `bw list` that I ran, assuming it would list the names of all my passwords, but too my surprise, it listed everything, including passwords and current totp codes. That's not the worst of it though. For some reason, when I ssh'ed into one of my servers and opened tmux, where I keep a weechat irc client running, I noticed that the entire content of…

I need my passwords to be accessible from my infrastructure and my phone. How do you achieve this with KeePass? I assumed it was not possible, but in fairness, I haven't really gone down that rabbit hole to investigate.
Syncthing can synchronize Keepass files between devices quite well.

The 1Password mobile and desktop apps have such a nice UX that I’m happy copy pasting from and into it instead of having any of the browser extensions enabled. I have 1Password configured to require password to unlock once per 24 hours. Rest of the time I have it running in the background or unlock it with TouchID (on the MacBook Pro) or FaceID (on the iPhone). It also helps that I don’t really sign into a ton of ser…

Also a great way of missing out on one of the best protections of password managers; completely eliminating phishing even without requiring thinking. And yes, still requires you to avoid manually copy-pasting without thinking when it doesn't work, but so muc…

So the comparison here is that you would rather trust a password manager with a CLI that imports hundreds of third-party dependencies over a first party password manager with a CLI that comes with the OS? I don't think macOS Keychain uses NPM and it isn't in TypeScript or Javascript and, yes it does not need a CLI either. The NPM and Java/Typescript ecosystem is part of the problem that encourages developers to impor…
You initially complained about CLIs, not the dependency mess of the JS ecosystem. You still have not said why this is an issue of having a CLI.
I complained about both. What does this say from the start?

Why do you need one? Automation reasons? OpenClaw? This is an attractive way for an attacker to get ALL your passwords in your vault. The breach itself if run in GitHub Actions would just make it a coveted target to compromise it which makes having one worse not better and for easier exfiltration.
So it makes even more sense for a password manager to not need a CLI at all. This is even before me mentioning the NPM and the Javascript ecosystem.

Does it matter? Lots of groups do such checks at startup at this point, because every news outlet who reports on it suddenly believe the group to be Russian if you do, so it's a no brainer to add today to misdirect even a little.
My point is that it could still be Russia, as they know that we know it is used as a false flag.

I love how the first comment is a complain having nothing to do with the actual subjec
Never used the CLI, but I do use their browser plugin. Would be quite a mess if that got compromised. What can I do to prevent it? Run old --tried and tested-- versions? Quite bizarre to think much much of my well-being depends on those secrets staying secret.
My two most precious digital possessions - my email and my Bitwarden account - are protected by a Yubikey that's always on my person (and another in another geographical location). I highly recommend such a setup, and it's not that much effort (I just keep my Yubikey with my house keys)
I got a bit scared reading the title, but I'm doing all I can to be reasonably secure without devolving into paranoia.

My approach is that for critical sites like banking, I use the site URL stored in the password manager too, I don't navigate via any link clicking. I personally am fine with thinking when my entire net worth is potentially at stake.
Rouge browser extensions for example could redirect you away from the bank website (if the bank website has poor security) when you go there, so even if you use the URL from the password manager, if you don't use the autofill feature, you can still get phished. And if the autofill doesn't show, and you mindlessly copy-paste, you'd still get phished. It's really the autofill that protects you here, not the URL in the password manager.
