In the latest episode of “they will always sell you out” - they sold you out! Who would’ve thought.
Hoping for a good alternative client to appear, the writing is on the wall. Vaultwarden can’t exist without “leeching” off of Bitwarden.
Goddammit. Why can’t we have nice things?
Sad. Replaced everything with keepassxc + syncthing
All hail the new Chief Enshittification Officer!
The year of keepass and syncthing!.
i was just thinking this week with the passphrase addition how good bitwarden is and when will the other shoe drop. There it is.
Keepass (all variants and forks) has a passphrase generator, been built-in for years.
The writing is on the wall for BW, and has been for quite some time now.
Keep ass what though? /s
why this over keepassxc?
When someone says “use KeePass”, we generally mean ”use an app based on KeePass".
Personally, I use the OG KeePass (work laptop), KeePass XC (all personal machines), Keepass2Android (personal Pixel), and Keepassium (work iPhone).
Whichever one you use is entirely subjective. Also, XC wouldn’t exist without the OG KeePass, so maybe don’t be a tribal weird-ass over it.
I’ve been wanting to move to KeePass from my current vaultwarden. What’s the most seamless way to synchronize the DB across GrapheneOS and Arch?
I trust Syncthing for syncing files, but it kind of feels insufficient for an actual encrypted database.
What works for you for syncing?
The encrypted database is a file. Syncthing handles it perfectly fine. KeePass’ protocol has versioning and merge support built right in, so all of the KeePass variants work great with each other without issues over Syncthing.
Just make sure you’re not editing the database on multiple machines at the same time - that’ll cause merge conflicts.
Thanks, that was exactly what was happening, at least in some cases. I was modifying icons on my laptop while messing with the templates on my phone.
Personally, I use a plugin for passphrases and - last time I looked - the other forks didn’t handle them.
Does keepassxc support plugins now?
On my phone, I use KeePassDX from F-Droid and KeePassDroid (Not sure if that’s being maintained at the moment?)
The main point is; we need to support open source developers, so pick an open-source solution and contribute, donate, etc.
KeePassXC has passphrase generation built in
I am confused. Aren’t their clients open source? How many milliseconds will take till 100s folks will fork it?
Their server is useless and Vaultwarden is already a superior option
While I agree that they are a “at risk” company, I don’t think the software itself is at risk
I’m going to have to just write my own one of these fucking things aren’t I?
KeePassXC and Vaultwarden exist
And Strongbox for iOS. They communicate with KeepassXC to keep the vaults compatible with both software.
For once ADHD preventing me from completing a migration is a boon, I guess I’ll move back to keepass
I fucking knew this would happen years ago. Something always smelled “off” about BW.
namely the VC funding and the huge resource hungry clients to me
you saw that something on the internet will go to shit in a couple of years? speak to us, oracle! :)
Right? Lmao who would’ve thought??
Well fuck this
We really need a VaultWarden service run by a non-profit.

They all want all of the poor people dead. They are wagging war on us.
