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.
I’m curious why your listed options are all software that runs on the internet as opposed to a piece of hardware that you connect to your devices.
Is that just because this is the self hosting community?
Well partly yes. This is a self hosted community so I asked a self hosted question.
The other part (I.e. why I haven’t asked anywhere about hardware solutions) is because I am not aware of a hardware solution that could do what a software solution can do: that is, store all my passwords, credit card details, OTP codes etc and work with any service that requires a password.
If you know of a hardware solution that does the same then by all means share! I am open to alternative ideas as well.
