Good thing i switched to selfhosted vaultwarden setup.
Sees bitwarden drama, Noooo๐ญ
Yeah, with all the stuff going on with password managers, I wonder if there's a truly future-proof setup that can be self-hosted and will never have these issues.
I was a Keepass user many years ago, but I'm not confident that a Keepass-like system would work well with some very computer-illiterate family members. Bitwarden is hard enough to teach them, and it's one of the easy ones!
There is no such solution but you could just not update your mobile app and keep using vault warden. Nothing will change for you.
Well, I'd prefer that the apps that are a gateway to my most important pieces of data (passwords) be updated to plug vulnerabilities and exploits. If it were any other app/service, then I can live without updates. But not something related to passwords.
Someone will fork it, once Bitwarden close the source you won't know if they are even patching vulnerabilities.
Yup. I'm either hoping for a more sustainable alternative, or a fork with active updates.
For now, I'm holding my position, but preparing for an exit from Bitwarden.
vaultwarden is perfectly fine. we just need to fund 3rd party clients for platforms. on android we already have keyguard, albeit it being only source available
Yeah vaultwarden even has its own web interface so my passwords probably not going to locked behind priopority apps. ฤฐ think i will keep using it for a while at least.
Isn't that exactly why we need to leave the official Bitwarden client for something else?
yup, my point was we need fully open source clients for all platforms
I agree
