Can someone please help me understand why you would want to have your passwords in the cloud? I've been using Keepass for about the past 15 years. I always just sync the db between computers/mobiles. Its never been an issue. Is having it in the cloud really that big of an advantage?
Syncing is a problem without a seamless solution. The official syncthing app for Android is abandoned and syncthing-fork isn't trustworthy and feels vibe coded. Nextcloud is way too bloated for simple vault syncing.
I'm personally warming up to the idea of using
pass.Not interested in selfhosting and risk a data breach.
It's imple: Who is better equipped to combat a hack? You or Bitwarden?
Definitely me.
there's also the fact that hackers probably don't know I'm hosting it. Where as bitwarden hosted makes for a very very juicy target
Natural disaster -> no longer can access everything you have online, including bank and insurance accounts, at precisely the time you most don’t want to deal with that.
Personal disaster as well.
If something happens to me and I am incapacitated, or worse, my wife or my brother can request access to my vault and without any action in my side for a week they will have access to my vault. (Emergency access feature in bitwarden)
So it does not add the stress of needing to call ALL the utility companies, bank, school ... To reset passwords or request emergency access.
I saw that first hand with my brother in law who had an accident and went into a coma. We were lucky that his computer wasn't locked and all his password accessible on it.
It's convenient, but not much moreso than keeping the encrypted file in your google drive or whatever and pulling it down once in a while.
