I’m going to move away from lastpass because the user experience is pretty fucking shit. I was going to look at 1pass as I use it a lot at work and so know it. However I have heard a lot of praise for BitWarden and VaultWarden on here and so probably going to try them out first.

My questions are to those of you who self-host, firstly: why?

And how do you mitigate the risk of your internet going down at home and blocking your access while away?

BitWarden’s paid tier is only $10 a year which I’m happy to pay to support a decent service, but im curious about the benefits of the above. I already run syncthing on a pi so adding a password manager wouldn’t need any additional hardware.

    Thats why ones password DB should also be saved encrypted one one or two external drives.

      Not everyone has a safety deposit box, or the ability to access a proper and secure off-site storage.

      And if you’re just keeping those in your house, then fire, flood, and other incidents can destroy all copies at once.
