Great heads up! I will work on self-hosting this month.

There are 2 versions out there, the one from Bitwarden itself, and an open-source rewrite called Vaultwarden. But, the main developer of works at Bitwarden. Thankfully you can easily export your passwords and move to another system (unlike say Authy where we had to inject Javascript to extract the TOTP seeds).

What's the current method that works? I keep meaning to ditch Authy, and now that I'm moving to ProtonPass, it seems like a great time to finally finish this (Ente?)

Thoughts and reviews about Passbolt? TOTP handling seems a bit off, extensions are not mostly read-only (OK for me). But the "share a single secret" access control seems nice:

https://www.passbolt.com/pricing/pro

https://www.passbolt.com/vs/bitwarden/overview

https://www.passbolt.com/docs/hosting/install/

PHP backend (IMHO a downside): https://github.com/passbolt/passbolt_api. But There appears to be a significant amount of auditing behind Passbolt's security claims, assuming the information on https://www.passbolt.com/security is accurate.

This feels like deja-vu with Lastpass. LogMeIn buys Lastpass, multiple massive breaches occur[, people move to Bitwarden].

Did Lastpass have a project like Vaultwarden behind it at the time? I'm hoping against hope that that will keep us with an open vault.

Well the first thing they can do is block access to self hosted servers in the official app. And they could petition Google to not allow clones in the play store. Together with Google's sideloading harassment that will make it much harder to use vaultwarden.

Hardly. I wanted to like it, but didn’t.

What do you prefer?

Firefox Sync.

On iPhone, Firefox Mobile can work as a password manager.

I'd like something that is easier to self-host, and isn't tied to Firefox.

But my botched migration to Bitwarden has left me looking for something that works better; in the meantime, I'm staying with Firefox + Firefox Sync. I use another browser on iPhone, since Firefox Mobile has memory problems with many tabs. (The problem was there for years, got fixed, and reoccurred.)

I did it a couple of years ago, I don't know what works today. Sorry.

I would still recommend switching to Vaultwarden. With Tailscale you don't have to expose it to the outside world.

Just keep a copy of the export somewhere else.

I like my export unencrypted and move it to a location that is encrypted.

I've paid for Bitwarden for years, but I can come to no other conclusion from all this (CEO all about private equity, severe price hike, scrubbing of core values, hiding the free tier) that it will be sold soon. Time to jump ship!

Yup. But, where to?

I decided to go with Proton Pass for now since I already use Protonmail, but I'm still looking

Compared with KeePassXC and Syncthing, it is infinitely more expensive!

Oh yeah, I love having to manage sync conflicts in my password database because I was dumb enough to edit it on two separate computers that weren't both online at the same time.

What's to manage? A merge does the job.

So what would you recommend to your friends and family that need a password manager? Genuinely curious. I pay for a service for my family because I need reliable and easy for my wife and daughter to use it.

- KeePass files synced between laptop and phone on OneDrive, DropBox, etc - KeePassXC on Windows and Mac - Keepass2Android mobile client - Browser integration on mobile. - On laptop, I prefer no browser integration; Copy username and password with Ctrl+B and Ctrl+C

Ctrl+B? Tmux or screen or something like that?
