Bitwarden

To people who want to self-host this, look at Vaultwarden which is a fully compatible alternate server with even more features:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dani-garcia&#x2F;vaultwarden">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dani-garcia&#x2F;vaultwarden</a><p>Been running it for a year with 0 issues.

I like Bitwarden but I just find the UI so clunky.<p>The option to add save or update a password after a successful login just seems to flash so quickly, it&#x27;s hard to catch it - Fedora&#x2F;Fx. The icons in the browser extension - why is a key icon for &#x27;copy&#x27;? Why is &#x27;edit&#x27; all the way at the top in the same colour&#x2F;font as body text?<p>It seems to be the best of the bunch when it comes to password managers but I do find the UI a pain.

I really liked Bitwarden but the incredibly delayed Passkey support that hasn&#x27;t even reached mobile yet left me worried about the future development of core Bitwarden.<p>Something else that I can&#x27;t really understand but that does not affect only Bitwarden but most password managers: File attachments are handled incredibly badly. Even just the UI to manage &amp; upload new files in Bitwarden is strange and unintuitive and that vault exports&#x2F;backups do not include the files at all is really bad. I hope Bitwarden and the whole field for that matter improves a lot in this regard.

My one single gripe these days is that I wish the client would either allow customising fonts (since they already allow custom colour schemes), or that they&#x27;d use the native system font stack instead of Open Sans.<p>I forked Bitwarden and built a copy using the system font stack for myself, and it ended up looking far more palatable. I would have used it as my main password manager if I had the patience to figure out Touch ID support.

Very nice product, I used it for years before I really ramped up my efforts to simplify my personal tech use.<p>It&#x27;s just very slightly behind Google&#x27;s built-in management, or was last I used it. Occasionally it won&#x27;t auto detect when it should be asking if you want a generated password, or it won&#x27;t auto fill, or will have some trivial annoyance like that.<p>I really like the secure notes feature though.

Love Bitwarden, I moved our whole company away from Last pass and onto Bitwarden, they&#x27;ve constantly added features and are looking more enterprise ready with features such as SAML, Master password reset enrollment and policies for password generation etc.

My biggest gripe with bitwarden is you can&#x27;t enforce a basic idle lock timer on end users. Each user has the option to have their vault access auto lock, but there&#x27;s no way to set and require that setting for users, and it isn&#x27;t turned on by default.

I am a current Bitwarden customer. My largest complaint is that their CLI and Linux integration is absolutely atrocious. 1Password is eating their lunch. I use 1Password for work, and it really feels so much better to use. 1Password has SSH integration, automatic syncing between the CLI and the GUI, and Linux package repositories.<p>I&#x27;m tempted to switch to 1Password, but since I am a Proton customer, I am just going to wait to see if Proton Pass ever gets a good CLI.
