Usually a lurker.
Maybe I should’ve just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment…

If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

  • Fair points.
    Considering bitwarden is zero knowledge the data in itself is for now ‘safe’ enough to me.
    Though I could be subject to IP/vulnerability scans on my home connection or accidentaly forwarding stuff that puts the security at risk and getting compromised (Seriously…The stuff I could connect and control via VNC I found on shodan was very creepy and frightening).
    Nah mate. Plus maintaining the data I already have is enough for me. Bitwarden would be way too much. But maybe in the future once I figure Linux and docker more out :)



  • And at 10€ per year I’ll gladly pay that. Now if it was 10€ per month and almost bi-yearly increasing, because why not, I’d quickly reconsider taking the risk and responsibility of self-hosting the door to my internet- and reallife existence.
    I store everything in there. Banking, health, shopping, etc etc. Not worth it exposing it without knowing how much I expose.
    The things I currently expose are relatively low-risk.




  • Regarding benefits for the paid tier (which I use as a sort of donation):

    1. it’s literally on their page: https://bitwarden.com/help/password-manager-plans/#compare-personal-plans
    2. What I actually use: A bit of the encrypted upload, some 2FA generators for unimportant services (I prefer using another 2FA app with encrypted automated backups. Helps keeping things separate)

    Regarding self-hosting:
    I decided against it.

    1. Too much important stuff in there (+400 accounts)
    2. Too much stuff in there I would need to back up and keep safe. Not in the mood.
    3. Not enough experience with hosting a database. If it would go belly-up I had no one except the internet to ask and figure it out myself. At best some selfhost forum/community.
