I've switched from KeePassXC, stored on my Google Drive with an offline key file, to BitWarden last month. I previously was a customer of LastPass and switched to KeePassXC after being tired of LastPass' UI mess.
Anyways, BitWarden works absolutely flawlessly. There are a few things here and there that I'd wish it had, like the ability to create templates for custom categories, but apart from that, it does an amazing job. The websites autocomplete works really well, and I was pleased to see that I can unlock my vault on my phone with my fingerprint reader.
Migrating data from KeePassXC to BitWarden went smoothly. I took a moment to clean my database and reorganize a few stuff. The database takes a bit of time to load, but nothing that's a real bother.
The only thing I don't store in BitWarden is the 2FA TOTP I use (mainly Google Authenticator) as I feel it breaks the entire concept for 2FA. I've seen people on HN do it, but to me it just feels wrong.
- flanbiscuit 7y agoI currently use KeePassXC and think it's great. What made you switch? BitWarden seems interesting but it's not completely free and you'll need their servers (or you can set one up yourself). Granted I also use Google Drive to sync my KeePass db so I'm also using someone else's servers but I've been considering changing that to syncthing to cut out the server.
- DeadBabyOrgasm 7y agoI'm also curious about the same thing. Ever since I started using KeePassXC's autotype feature, I haven't been able to go to any other password manager. Even with the degraded mobile options and having to build my own syncing with things like rclone. Does Bitwarden have that autotype option? If not, I'm wondering how difficult it would be to build it myself, if only for the desktop clients.
