I’m going to move away from lastpass because the user experience is pretty fucking shit. I was going to look at 1pass as I use it a lot at work and so know it. However I have heard a lot of praise for BitWarden and VaultWarden on here and so probably going to try them out first.

My questions are to those of you who self-host, firstly: why?

And how do you mitigate the risk of your internet going down at home and blocking your access while away?

BitWarden’s paid tier is only $10 a year which I’m happy to pay to support a decent service, but im curious about the benefits of the above. I already run syncthing on a pi so adding a password manager wouldn’t need any additional hardware.

    Using vault warden because I read too much about errors in implementing or design in services like LastPass or (though encrypted) vaults being stolen.

    Bit warden client on Android lets you sync (ie LAN) and then use it as a read only database while on the go without a connection.

    I recently added tailscale and when I really need a service from home I just flick it on on my phone and I am good

    Works like a charm.
