Maybe comes from the recent chocolate post and OP found it in their folder of 'stolen memes'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fair points.
Considering bitwarden is zero knowledge the data in itself is for now 'safe' enough to me.
Though I could be subject to IP/vulnerability scans on my home connection or accidentaly forwarding stuff that puts the security at risk and getting compromised (Seriously...The stuff I could connect and control via VNC I found on shodan was very creepy and frightening).
Nah mate. Plus maintaining the data I already have is enough for me. Bitwarden would be way too much. But maybe in the future once I figure Linux and docker more out :)
Didnt feel passive aggresive to me.
And regarding the question why people self host:
More or less the usual reasons (e.g. learning, just4fun, experimenting)
And I gave you the reasons why I decided against it.
Do with both informations what you need to do. Keeping it in mind or disregard my opinion/choices as not directly answering your question
And at 10€ per year I'll gladly pay that. Now if it was 10€ per month and almost bi-yearly increasing, because why not, I'd quickly reconsider taking the risk and responsibility of self-hosting the door to my internet- and reallife existence.
I store everything in there. Banking, health, shopping, etc etc. Not worth it exposing it without knowing how much I expose.
The things I currently expose are relatively low-risk.
Bitwarden also syncs a local copy to every device it connects to.
Bitwarden does external audits with reports and stores in zero knowledge storage.
Loose your master password and you are fucked. They can't restore it even if you pay them a million €
Regarding benefits for the paid tier (which I use as a sort of donation):
- it's literally on their page: https://bitwarden.com/help/password-manager-plans/#compare-personal-plans
- What I actually use: A bit of the encrypted upload, some 2FA generators for unimportant services (I prefer using another 2FA app with encrypted automated backups. Helps keeping things separate)
Regarding self-hosting:
I decided against it.
- Too much important stuff in there (+400 accounts)
- Too much stuff in there I would need to back up and keep safe. Not in the mood.
- Not enough experience with hosting a database. If it would go belly-up I had no one except the internet to ask and figure it out myself. At best some selfhost forum/community.
Maybe enough forum boards were scraped where women were discussing this happening that it became a significant data point?
Maybe the next step to actually life these fantasies are so close they still become a problem because the hand isnt satisfying enough to use?
First Apple then Google. On Android you can at least side-load properly
Tyvm :)
Hope you got a good rest!
Edit: Just tried it out on quora. Awesome!
