I switched to self-hosted Vaultwarden and it was so trivial. I had it set up and switched in literally like 10 or 15 minutes. The ability to export your vault from any of your devices makes it less of a concern that you might accidentally wipe your Vaultwarden DB and be screwed, and you don’t even need to add surface area by exposing it to the internet if all your devices log onto your local network occasionally.
Originally I was okay kicking $10 to Bitwarden as a sort of donation, but them doubling the fee for dubious “ooh fancy smart scanning tech” just seems like them wanting more money, or at least misusing the money that they have. If they polled users to ask “do you want to spend double the fee for us to do smart scanning?” I guarantee they would have gotten a resounding ‘no’.
Bitwarden is VC-funded.
Take that info for what it’s worth.
Did your TOTP and passkeys transfer over?
TOTP yes
TOTP yes. I don’t normally have any passkeys (not political, it’s just new tech that I don’t use enough), but I tested with passkeys.io and passkey creation works with Vaultwarden, and the passkey then exports as expected, so I would guess all fine. When transferring from BW->VW, I’d recommend using the .zip export option so that it carries over attachments also.
Thank you for your comment.
I just switched to the free plan for now. Vaultwarden seems cool, otherwise I might just keep the free Bitwarden plan.
