I moved to Bitwarden from KeePass and haven't looked back.
The UIX of Bitwarden can be a bit meh at times but it's also boring, predictable, and solid. I'm just saying this as someone who hates save buttons in the upper-right hand corner of things - just... small nitpicky stuff like that. Sometimes I have to look for a button or their use of iconography confuses me a bit.
I would do my own hosting for a distributed password database but the older I get the less I trust myself to keep that stuff locked down and patched. Given the number of users I feel Bitwarden has more skin in the game to keep their solutions tight.
If you're not looking to self-host I can't recommend Bitwarden enough!
- quaintdev 4y agoI did reverse, I wonder what your reasons are.
- peterangular 4y agoNeeded a solution that I could use on all devices easily - browser, shell, phone... basically anywhere I need a password. KeePass isn't distributed by nature, relying on a filesystem DB - this worked for me for _years_ and is a fine system, but I started getting nervous using Google Drive to tote the database around from device to device. Also planning for my passing, I think it'll be easier for my SO to get into a simple web-based solution with my TFA scratch code if they need to handle any of my affairs vs. tracking down my KeePass file that would be behind disk encryption etc. Like I said - used KeePass for years, and I love it to death. I have just moved on in my usage and needs =)
- quaintdev 4y agoI use Syncthing to sync tha password database across devices. It's been working like a charm. I needed something selfhosted and have used bitwarden for that until I got burned down when I could not recover the instance.
