Bitwarden is excellent but i have a few nitpicks on Android.

I wish I could change the "Username" field to "Email address" because it kind of annoys me having email addresses under usernames. I'd also like to add things to favourites or folders without having to go into edit mode on every entry individually. Same with adding notes. The app has trouble following the system theme and doesn't always autofill reliably for me, meaning I sometimes have to go into the app and copy/paste my passwords manually.

Other than that, the UI is just a bit ugly compared to some other password managers,

Try Keyguard, it is open source and much nicer than the regular Bitwarden app. Do not use the version from the Play Store though, get it directly from Github.

It's not open source. Only source available unfortunately.

I did not realize that. That explains why it's not on F-Droid. Really unfortunate but at least it can still be publicly audited.

Huh, this is the first time I heard about this, thanks for sharing!

Why? I use Vaultwarden with Bitwarden from the Playstore is there anything wrong with it?

The version on the Play Store requires a "premium" subscription for some features but the Github release gets those for free.

Ah, I see, thanks for the heads up.

There is no guarantee that play store build contains the same code as GitHub repository. Ideally you'd need to compile apps yourself.

But most of the time stuff like vaultwarden is trustworthy enough.

Thank you, I will have a look at this!
