One downside is that i’ll have no more passkeys. The vault syncing, i can do via SyncThing.

    I think I’ve done the opposite of most. After using keepassx for the last 4 or 5 years I switched to ProtonPass.

    I value security and privacy but Ive realized some of my processes have become too complex, like using syncthing to keep my keepass on my phone and PC aligned. I’m not confident that older man version of me will be able to keep up so Ive stared valuing simplicity.

    Im sure many will argue that it is simple but between backups and keys and passwords it really is a lot, especially with a new device each time.

        Me four.

        I also realised that the attack surface is much greater with my approach with KeePass compared to simply paying a company whose primary mission is to keep my secrets secret.

        It helps that I’m just a regular paranoid bloke and not a secret agent or something like that.

        Look I love fully offline concepts just as much as the next person. But what Bitwarden offers me that those other solutions don’t, is to offload some of the mental load long-term. I like privacy but something are exhausting. Pick and choose your battles.

        Less hands on maintenance and mental overhead to keep things synced and all services / files up to date. We bitwarden users have other stuff to do. Different priorities.

        This is one of the things I decided to keep to the people who do this far more and deeper than I ever could. Their job. Their liability.

        All my accounts are encrypted, cloud accessible, or offline accessible. Protected by a giant hash of a master password. It allows me to feel safe and provides the convenience of copy and pasting insane credentials needed in today’s times. Hassle free. Great features. The end.

        *potentially even under free account if you choose.
