The Quiet Renovation at Bitwarden - ByteHaven - Where I ramble about bytes

Back in March, I wrote about Bitwarden doubling their Premium price — and specifically how they did it. Buried in a feature announcement. Priced in fake...

If you are interested in privacy you are probably interested in password storage … plus I wanted everyone to know about the inevitable future enshitification of this product. Spread the word and replacement recommendations are welcome too.

    Yeah I’m done with cloud providers for this shit, I’m going all in for Keepass

      I’ve been using it for years. But I have been waiting for this day to come. Because it always comes at some point without fail.

      It’s a very easy migration from Bitwarden to a self-hosted and OSS Vaultwarden, if you have means to self-host. Appreciably, many don’t want to self-host their own apps and I’m not defending Bitwarden’s enshittification at all. It comes for all tech at some point :(

        I would say that Vaultwarden might not be the best introduction to self hosting given the critical nature and sensitivity of the data. And if you do maybe block the admin page from external sources.

        Not sure if all tech, but definitely the ones that just want to grow grow grow. A counterexample (so far) is the Obsidian team.

      thanks for all the suggestions - i’ve since moved to proton pass, not sure if I want to self host this aspect of my security stack - but will be watching closely

    I still wish there was something where it had better syncing conflict management than KeePass but wouldn’t make you unable to do anything or randomly make your passwords completely inaccessible if you went offline like Bitwarden.

      I run vaultwarden at home without access to it from the outside world and once the sync is done I can be offline without issue.

        For me it gives me read-only access most of the time, but sometimes something happens and then it becomes completely inaccessible. Which is why due to being in the middle of a move right now I exported the entire database to my laptop so that if this happens I don’t lose access to all my accounts for the two weeks my server is in transit.
