Hi y’all! Sorry for asking so much on this sub! Y’all have been so helpful!
This time, I’m thinking of transitioning from 1Password to a self-hosted option.
Of course I know about Bitwarden, and I’m looking into it now, but are there any other recommendations y’all have? Have y’all heard of and used Passbolt? It seems nice, but it looks like it only does passwords and not other categories like 1Password does.
A few things of note: I’d like it to have different categories, a la 1Password. (Logins, SSN, ID, member card #, etc) Maybe multi-user so I can have an account for my wife. Password generator of course, and I’m not sure if y’all are familiar too much with 1password, but it allows you to customize the fields in each entry. So it starts with the basics (username, password, url), but it allows you to add sections and entries too! I could add a “security” and add my 2FA code on there, my backup codes, etc.
Honestly, that last one is a biggie, so I think I might be talking myself out of moving over now, but I’m sure that AgileBits or whatever the company is called will abandon, if it hasn’t already, 1Password 7 with local vaults, in favor of 1Password 8 that only uses 1password subscription accounts.
Sorry for the rant and wall of text. Thank y’all in advance.
Update on July 21, 2023
I decided to self-host Vaultwarden as it was designed to be a lightweight (on resources) version of Bitwarden. For Android, I’m using the “Keyguard” app to access my instance, and the official Bitwarden browser extension on my wife’s MacBook. 1password fucked me over, and I had to manually copy every password 1 by 1, luckily I only had ~500 entries.
I’m still doing some research into the best app for android (the official Bitwarden is ugly, and Keyguard is pretty, but I’m still looking around.)
Thank each and every one of you for taking time to answer my question!
I would recommend Bitwarden self-hosted with a subscription. I know it’s a unpopular opinion, but they do a great job with the app and let’s be real,if nobody financially supports open source development, we are in for trouble.
There are enough people that don’t have the technical knowledge to host their own instance which happily pay Bitwarden to do so. If I host my own software and pay for the servers myself I’m not gonna pay a monthly fee just to be able to use the software. Maybe a one time payment, but definitely no subscription.
+1 for this, I have an active subscription with Bitwarden, for US$10 a year it’s worth many times that in the value and utility it provides me. I considered self-hosting the service but I decided to just stick with the cloud version since they likely have better resilience than my homelab. It’d suck if my home network is down for whatever reason and I need urgent access to my vault without a local copy within reach.
