Understandable concerns and reasonable response assuming it's true. I hope it remains open source because I spent so much time moving over and getting my family on board and using it. I'd hate to have to move again.

Yeah, I agree. I'd just moved over to bitwarden as I switch to open source stuff, I'd really prefer to stick with bitwarden, I'm fairly happy with it

no worries, a fork will pop up.

Vaultwarden. Not sure when they forked it, but seems like a pretty mature project

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Alas vaultwarden is a vault and a web interface only. Not a browser integration, not a desktop app, not an android / iOS client that can autofill passwords.

It’s very good, I’m using it myself with the official clients. I’m just afraid Bitwarden will start removing the possibility to use a self hosted vault or make it a feature you have to pay for.

Being able to build the app as you are trying to do here is an issue we plan to resolve and is merely a bug.

Sadly the Android app is no longer maintained, and it hasn't been released for newer versions of Android.

This seems great and all, but if you're on Windows this doesn't seem viable. Not really a one size fits all solution like Bitwarden is for many people who use multiple OSs.

~~There's an unmaintained Windows client.~~

Actually here is one that's still active: https://github.com/IJHack/QtPass

Alright, what is the solution when I just don't wanna move? Do I keep using an outdated version, where both the browser extension and android app stops working because the API might introduce a BC break? I still got the web UI, which will work as long as the sun shines, but that's pretty annoying to keep tabbing to.

Time to move to KeePass XC + SyncThing i guess.

Edit: although you can self-host it i think.

Any thoughts on proton pass?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I recently moved away from Bitwarden to proton pass. I really only moved because I was already paying for proton unlimited for other services. That said, it’s been great. Does everything I need it to quite well on IOS and as a browser extension on Linux
