#182> A true Linux app
Electron apps are not true Linux apps, maybe for ChromeOS they can be considered as such.

Huh, you are saying that something that is so important you want for free, and that the company building this product for you should forgo money and work simply for free? Wouldn't the opposite make far more sense that something that is so important you should pay 'more' for? They are free options that you are welcome to, but for people who want more they pay for it.
The only way to guarantee that your keyring is secure long-term is for the source code (and change history) of your password manager to be inspectable and verifiable. A promise made by a corporation is not sufficient. You can pay a corporation to buy a product with more features or better service. But you can't pay a corporation to hold or maintain a principle. There will always be someone who can offer them more mon…
You can absolutely pay a company to hold a principle.
Consider the number of companies now who are promoting sustainability as a core value, because it gives them an edge up on competition in big government tenders.
More common than you'd think, especially in physical product supply!

The article says that it's written in rust, and also implies that it is a gtk app. That doesn't sound like an electron app to me. Did I miss something?
It's definitely an electron app. It may incorporate some rust code as well, but it also rolls in approximately the entire Chrome codebase. The decompressed AppImage is 208MB, which is mostly chrome (electron) by size.
Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying that.

#185The reasonable person inside me wants to use a password manager, yet the paranoid in my brain is terrified. I read all those texts explaining why password managers are better, yet I am still afraid. I keep thinking in attack vectors such as someone compromising the Play Store and submitting a malicious app or other similar stuff. I even have a Bitwarden account and have some passwords stored on it. I also considered…
> I also considered "offline" managers like KeepassXC, but synchronization gets way worse, and there's also the issue about trusting someone else with your mobile apps. I'm using KeePassXC. Originally between three computers (Debian desktop, Debian laptop, and Microsoft laptop) where it was part of my git repo that I'd sync in between the machines as needed (git repo hosted within my own instance of gitolite, btw). I…
Yes I always wonder why keepassxc does not get mentioned more when password managers come up. It's really an excellent piece of software. Some of the features that are crucial for me:
1. ssh-agent support
2. Browser plugins
3. Can provide secret service (i.e. be a substitute for gnome-keyring and kwallet)
4. Excellent oss android client
5. Absolutely snappy, starts in an instant, compared to electron apps it's like day and night
It also has yubikey support or can support other key files, which is good if you don't trust your cloud sync for example

While almost everything is great about Bitwarden, the 5-8 second delay when performing a search is ridiculous (considering I have about 100 records), and I'm considering paying for a better maintained alternative.
Where do you see this delay? I have not had this experience, Bitwarden has always been perfectly snappy for me.
It happens in the Android App.

Where do you have such a delay? I just tested in my vault (via Chrome web extension and desktop app) with 377 items and search is instant. I am on macOS Catalina although that shouldn't matter. I suggest you contact support https://bitwarden.com/contact/
It happens in the Android App. Desktop apps and extensions are OK.

...as in freedom, not beer. It means the gp considers the problem space sensitive enough that the source should be available for inspection and modification.
The latter in particular means that if there's a thing you wish the software did and it doesn't you can fix that. The more central to your everyday life something is, the more important that is. We take this for granted elsewhere in our lives. You buy a refrigerator, the fridge company doesn't get to tell you that too bad you're only allowed to keep soda in their $80 dedicated "Soda rack" and that little shelf is onl…

Yeah, that's not really relevant to me... Along with ~99.5% of people out there, I will not be fucking around making customizations to my password manager. There are things you tinker with, and then there are things that hold passwords to your financial and professional life. I have not yet and will not anytime soon be rolling out my own crypto or my own password manager and trusting it with real-life credentials.

From the comments, I think this is an Android-specific issue. I use Bitwarden on Android and also find that searches inexplicably take several seconds, especially when you arrive at the search query from the autocomplete popover.
This is exactly where I'm getting the delays. Which is indicative of another problem: in several websites I have to search for the login manually because Bitwarden doesn't find the credentials (according to the Android Firefox/Chrome extensions). This never happened with 1Password.

When I read that I had a suspicion that it was going to be electron. It takes some gall to write that heading.
Disappointing, 1Password!
