I guess we’re gonna see more open-source apps soon, aimed at Vaultwarden first
It is effectively going closed source
Not surprised in the slightest sadly.
Does anyone have a handy guide to switching to selfhosted version? I was considering doing that but I let my plan renew out of laziness.
Here it explains some self host options with links to “Get Started” for each:
bitwarden.com/help/self-host-bitwarden/
For example, here’s the link to “Linux standard deployment”
bitwarden.com/help/install-on-premise-linux/
You may also want to consider not making your server available to the open internet, and instead access it only on your LAN via VPN.
That or jump to Vaultwarden github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden

Idk how it compares feature wise, but i have been running keepassxc/keepassdx combined with syncthing (or any file synchronization/cloud system) for many years without issues. The entire password manager database sits in one encrypted .kdbx file that you keep synced between your devices. Syncthing is nice because its p2p, so no self-/hosting required.
keepassxc.org
github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc
That’s my stack, except swap keepassdx for keepass2android, and add the Firefox plugin.
I’ve been using that for a while. I like the control I have in that I understand where everything is stored and encrypted. I miss the way that Google password manager had the autofill for seemingly every page nailed though.
Yup great combo. It baffles me why anyone one would favour to depend oneself on an online service instead
I used keepass but switched to vaultwarden, i might consider switching back, but is there a good self hostable web front end for a keepass database? (I need to access it on my work laptop and can’t install stuff there)
There is KeeWeb but I am not sure how well maintained it is. This issue is still open. It might be worth contacting your employers IT department instead. Asking for a well known password manager like KeePass shouldn’t raise any eyebrows.
I dont think there is. Keepass is trying to be as offline as possible. Just makes for a piece of software with much less attack surface.
@Mustachius_Grumpius “The GPLv3 OSS licensed version continues to be updated and published on GitHub
All current features are available in both versions
License details are on GitHub
Bitwarden remains committed to a robust, free forever plan for everyone”
I kinda thought the paid plan already had extra features no? Like silly ones but I swear it isn’t just donations right?
Yup. All CURRENT, these will start to diverge…
yeah but its typical double speak
Why do you think so?
As always, people overreacting in the comments (of the linked forum). So the current plan is that the core remains OSS, but upcoming features are partially not. To me that sounds similar to Chrome’s or VSCode’s approach.
Be cautious in such cases is not overreacting. We’ve seen enough open to closed rug pulls in the last years.
yeah sorry I dont want that
I’m not saying that’s great news, but it doesn’t sound like the self destruction move that some OSS companies have done recently. I wouldn’t migrate away just because of that change. In the end, they have to find a sustainable mode of operation.
They are going to slowly strip features from the free version over time.
