- maccio92 8y agoThey should try, but maybe if they make the most common RNG mistakes they aren't suited for reinventing this particular wheel. There are many issues with the RNG and cryptography methods if you read the other comments.
- slezyr 8y agorequires mssql if you want to self host... Meh, keepassx still better.
- Spivak 8y agoCheck out bitwarden_rs for an alternative backend that's easier to host.
- peterloron 8y agoWhile keepassx is a great tool, Bitwarden is a much more capable product which solves many more use cases than the single device/single user one. Yes, the dependency on mssql is a bummer, but it is freely available and is a robust db system. And, as other have pointed out, there are alternate backends you can run if you want to forego support from the vendor.
- Semaphor 8y agoWhile I can believe that multi-user with Keepass would be problematic to say the least, multi-device is not. I've been using it for years with several devices syncing via my own NextCloud instance.
- move-on-by 8y agoEven more importantly, BitWarden has passed a third party security audit and published its results: https://blog.bitwarden.com/bitwarden-completes-third-party-security-audit-c1cc81b6d33 https://blog.bitwarden.com/bitwarden-completes-third-party-s... Not trying to bash OormiPass, but other commentators are already finding concerning security issues like a non-secure random.
