I’m going to move away from lastpass because the user experience is pretty fucking shit. I was going to look at 1pass as I use it a lot at work and so know it. However I have heard a lot of praise for BitWarden and VaultWarden on here and so probably going to try them out first.

My questions are to those of you who self-host, firstly: why?

And how do you mitigate the risk of your internet going down at home and blocking your access while away?

BitWarden’s paid tier is only $10 a year which I’m happy to pay to support a decent service, but im curious about the benefits of the above. I already run syncthing on a pi so adding a password manager wouldn’t need any additional hardware.

    I think you misread my post. I know what the benefits of their paid teir are, because literally read their page.

    I was asking why people self host. As you don’t self host…I’m not sure why you’re responding, especially not with passive aggressive language like that.

      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
