bitwarden - Open Source Password Management Tool

[Alex Sage]

No desktop clients.... but maybe you don't need one? They are working on one.

That looks nice. I use Dashlane and I love the features it has. I will have to test Bitwarden to see how it compares though. Good find

[Alex Sage]

Love that you can self host it

It says that selfhosting is in beta. Have you tried it yet?

I use Dashlane as well. It is a little pricey, but for as often as I enter passwords I like it.

Wow! This looks really good!

Interesting...

What is it.. I don't generally like to click links that don't have any context with them. Some background on what it is would be nice so that I have some idea that:

• not click bait
• not malware
• what function(s) it does.

Because when I see "Wow this looks really good" I think of:

It's a password management tool that is working toward a self hosting option. Completely open source. It looks like it could be good.

Thanks -

Yes, that could very well be interesting. Could very easily give LastPass a run

But this was solved along time ago.

There is password app in nextcloud, that works:

Also Keepass can support remote DB, and with plugin it adds support of many protocols (SSH/WebDav/SFTP)

And if you would tell me to run docker just for this, or lamp stack for next cloud. I would choose lamp stack for next cloud, and get many other apps like KanBan Tool/tasks app/notes app/video talking app/ all the new apps that are still under dev.

And that is forgetting the file sharing part.

[Alex Sage]

@gjacobse Better?

Is the app just for generating passwords or does it store them as well?

[Emad R]

@irj

Actually there are 2 apps, both store and generate:

https://github.com/nextcloud/passman
https://github.com/jhass/nextcloud-keeweb

And full featured.

[dafyre]

I'm currently using KeePass + NextCloud. I'm going to try this out, I think.

[dafyre]

Their instructions are simple to follow if you want to go the self-hosted route.

Works perfectly from Fedora 26.

dnf install docker docker-compose

and then follow their guide here:

https://help.bitwarden.com/article/install-on-premise/

Password sharing and such are paid features.

[Alex Sage]

@dafyre Thanks for testing it out! I have upgraded to a paid plan hoping they will be sticking around

[Alex Sage]

Inporting my LastPass data was simple. I am sure Dashlane would be as well. I open source software.

[coliver]

I've got to say this is much faster then Lastpass. Using the Chrome extension or the Android client is very quick. I never realized how slow Lastpass was.

[Alex Sage]

@coliver seems like we have a winner

I'm going to try it out for a week and if I continue to like it I'll probably throw them some money.

[Alex Sage]

It's pretty cheap.

Edit: You have to buy the premium membership and/or a organization. Within a Organization you can have free and premium members.
