Goddammit. It's getting to the point I'm going to have to figure out how to write my own app for this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thank you for the update! I would like to keep using it. I've been very happy with Bitwarden both as a password manager and a TOTP authenticator. I have even recommended it to my boss as an enterprise solution for us to use at work, and so far we are planning on replacing our current password database solution with Bitwarden.

Unfortunately, with "enshittification" being so common these days, it was very easy to believe they were also going to the dark side. I will remain cautiously optimistic after learning it was a packaging bug.

Here's a link to the post on X (yes, I hate X, too) in case anyone else is doubtful:

Yeah, I was worried about it too. I've become pretty cynical when it comes to everything becoming enshittified, but I'm hoping they stick to their word.

Keepass vault synced over syncthing.

I keep not regretting it.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Was going to be my solution as well, bjt Syncthing-Android just got discontinued.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

F-Droid syncthing-fork is still actively developed and had a patch in the last few weeks.

So hopefully this isn't the end.

Alright does anyone have opinions on Nextcloud Passwords? There's apps for it and it would sync to my Nextcloud.

I hate this. Bitwarden has been a good app.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Nextcloud passwords is just a client for a KeePass vault.

I guess it's as good or bad as that can be, but I'm sure it's limited in functionality to KeePassxc with plugins.

Keepass. Keep it simple.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you want to roll your own with keepass that's fine, but most people will want a more comprehensive solution.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I switched from keepass to Bitwarden because individual entries started randomly disappearing. I'm still discovering missing accounts after switching a couple of weeks ago. Sometime to do with how keepass was opening the files, because when an entry went missing it was gone even from backup files I hadn't touched since before the entry disappeared.
