Keepass. Keep it simple.
Daniel García, owner of the Vaultwarden repo, has recently taken employment for Bitwarden.
The plot thickens.
Alright does anyone have opinions on Nextcloud Passwords? There's apps for it and it would sync to my Nextcloud.
I hate this. Bitwarden has been a good app.
Nextcloud passwords is just a client for a KeePass vault.
I guess it's as good or bad as that can be, but I'm sure it's limited in functionality to KeePassxc with plugins.
TIL... Thanks.
EDIT: Been playing with it a bit now and if it uses keepass as the DB the advantage I see right now is that having it in Nextcloud means automatic sync, and there are several autofill and syncing apps for various OSes and password sharing and automated checks for breaches. It's probably a better option for anyone with Nextcloud than going the Keepassxc/syncthing route.
EDIT: The article has been updated and it was described as a “packaging bug” and not an intended change.
How many times do I need to pack up and move to the next “best option”
Sadly as many times as needed, complacency is how these companies get "loyal customers" who are willing to put up with bs
Great, I've just started to use it last week 🤡
Just switch to KeePassXC
Oh, for fuck’s sake. Can we have a decent password manager that isn’t tied to a browser or company? I pay for Bitwarden. I’m not being cheap. But open source is more secure. We can look at the code ourselves if there’s a concern.
Its called Keepass. You are welcome
Keepass: Am I a joke to you?
Love Keepass. Love that I can sync it however I want. Love that there are multiple open source client options across several operating systems.
Android syncthing announced they’re stopping development this year. Open source got fucked double today
terrible day. There is a fork called syncthing-fork that is under current development. I hope both projects merge.
Nothing in the article or in the Bitwarden repo suggests that it's moving away from open source
It is a license problem. The license condition of the SDK which is required to build the client app change to limit the usage of it. The new license states that you can only use the Bitwarden SDK for Bitwarden. It is against the Freedoom-0 of the Free Software Foundation. The limitation of English language is that it is hard to differentiate between Free (as in Free bear) and Free (as in Freedoom). Also open source which could mean complaining with FOSS and that source is available. This been unfortunately have been abused before.
This is an important issue IMO that needs to be addressed and the official response by Bitwardens CTO fails to do so.
There is not even a reason provided why such a proprietary license is deemed necessary for the SDK. Furthermore this wasn’t proactively communicated but noticed by users. The locking of the Github Issue indicates that discussion isn’t desired and further communication is not to be expected.
It is a step in the wrong direction after having accepted Venture Capital funding, which already put Bitwardens opensource future in doubt for many users.
This is another step in the wrong direction for a company that proudly uses the opensource slogan.
They're basically trying to get rid of vaultwarden and other open source forks. I expect they'll get a cease and desist and be removed from github at some point in the not too distant future if they don't make some changes. I have a vaultwarden instance and use the bit warden clients. Guess I'll need to look for alternatives in case Bitwarden decides to get aggressive.
nothing lasts forever without being enshittified
Except if it's free software.
Welp, I guess another time to move here soon.
And I just fucking vouched for them to a friend recently 🤡
Didn't know about VC funding these parasites using their funding to turn everything into shite.
What's the current "best" alternative? Keepass?
Vaultwarden updated link
Open source version of bitwarden written in rust.
Where is the foundation to support foss?!?
Goddammit. It's getting to the point I'm going to have to figure out how to write my own app for this.
Keepass vault synced over syncthing.
I keep not regretting it.
I've always loved Keepass, however I moved away from it in 2012 as it and any file based vault has brute forcing issues. You need to track every copy of it that has been made and if any copy falls out of your hands, like if you lose a device, you need to do a password rotation on 100% of your passwords. Since its a file, its not possible to prevent brute forcing.
This is incredible
Right next to each other lol
Syncthing fork seems to still be under active development
Was going to be my solution as well, bjt Syncthing-Android just got discontinued.
