Say what you will, but the Apple ecosystem's Passwords app and integration works great. It locks me into their services (iCloud), but I don't see them ever charging for it or sunsetting it. (watch me eat my words in the near future)
Password App surely is a good alternative, however i don’t think there are clients for Linux or Windows? …and that is where Bit/Vaultwarden comes into play.

> how do you harden it? By not exposing it to the wider internet. When I use a client (iPhone, browser, etc.) while on the home network, it syncs. While off the network, the last synced data is still there. That's been good enough for me.
When the server can’t be accessed, you can’t create a secret, right? This has been quite annoying in my experience. I’d still recommend Bitwarden clients with self-hosted Vaultwarden.
Thank you for this post/link. I have been side eyeing Bitwarden since they started ensh*ttifying the desktop UX last year to make it more like everything else and take up too much space. It had been working perfectly well for browser autofill - super fast and staying out of the way. Now it is bloated white space, slow, standardized UX elements like any SaaS built by AI. Will check out Vaultwarden, Proton Pass, Keepas…
> That’s not a software guy who happened to raise some money. That’s someone whose stated specialty is the PE integration and exit process. Holy smokes has that's not just -> THAT IS become one of my trigger words.
If the content is also nonsense then that's worth talking about, but otherwise comments about LLM style are about as interesting as remarks about typos.
I like 1password, it is by far the highest quality product I've used in this category. I moved from BitWarden back then because their browser integration was quite poor.
I think I'll move to something custom, or a selfhosted keepass server, with the rugpulls, incidents, and whatnot, it is becoming too high of a risk.
At this point it is too high of a risk to store my password elsewhere. I've been screwed over by dashlane, lastpass, potentially bitwarden now, I am with 1password now, but I've had my passwords in all these places, and I've had to change them each time, probably missing a few.

I don't care about raising prices, I'm worried about the new CEO having a PE mindset. That means Bitwarden will now focus on extracting value while the product stagnates and degrades in quality. Time to jump ship before their security and quality goes down the drain.
Not my project but Vaultwarden is an open source (in Rust) alternative backend for Bitwarden. I believe its been around a while, and is still maintained. https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden

How were you screwed over by these products?

For non technical people, I just recommend to use the browser built in password managers. traviso has a good writeup why: https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/passmgrs.html

I’m not buying hosting from a password manager, I’m buying security. I don’t have complete confidence that I can secure a self-hosted password manager and it’s not an area where I want to take risks.
It's very simple, just don't make it accessible outside your home network. Clients sync when the server is accessible and use last synced data otherwise.
I pay a cleaner, I have a dishwasher, I pay someone to do my taxes, I pay for companies to host software.
Then again, I never order food and almost never get takeaway, as cooking is nice and I value my food enough to care what goes in it. Cheaper too, easily offsetting what I pay for my password manager.
