    Say whatever you like but “a privacy-preserving telemetry” sounds to me like an oxymoron.

    Im using bitwarden for mobile devices filled with crucial credentials and my main vault is a full offline database in keepassxc

      Why don’t you use a sync tool to automatically sync your KeePass database when you’re home and just get rid of Bitwarden?

      Edit: Or just use Syncthing to always keep your database on all devices in sync. You wouldn’t even need to open ports.

        I have gone back and forth on KeePassXC and Bitwarden. I usually do a yearly reset of all my passwords and that is when i do the switch. I’m fine with Bitwarden but permissions to make it easy on Android phone seems excessive. You guys are prompting me to reexamine.

        Anyone try self-hosting VaultWarden?

            What do you do for backup if your host is toast?

            That is why I went back to KeepassXC because Bitwarden Authentication was down

              Then I get a new NAS (because I will need a new one anyway), make a new Vaultwarden server and restore my backup. The great thing about Bitwarden is that your vault gets stored locally on every device and you can export it. So in the worst case scenario you could do that and restore your stuff on a publicly hosted Vaultwarden instance or the official Bitwarden instance (if that’s an option for you).

      I’m curious what your config looks like for this. How do you keep your db offline but accessible? Is it a restricted docker container? How do you access it when you’re not at home or on multiple machines (like a laptop)?

        Not OP but I have my KeePass file on a locally hosted Nextcloud instance. Synced to multiple computers and phone but the Nextcloud server is only accessible at home LAN.

        Passwords are the kind of data that don’t belong in the cloud, in my opinion. Those companies are too juicy targets.

          I host vaultwarden, but it’s behind a tailscale network. Best of both worlds.

        Offline as its not being synchronized into the cloud anywhere; if I need it elsewhere I just copy it manually from main OS. I could use some solution but its not worth efforts to my needs. What I keep in bitwarden is enough for my mobile needs

            It feels easier that I can update my database with the needed apps credentials on two different phones and a tablet (android and ios) from desktop via bitwarden
