I have used Bitwarden personally for a while, coming from KeePassXC (Linux and Android), and it has been a joy to use. My company is now looking into using it both internally and as a solution for organizations and businesses we serve, mainly because it offers a self-hosted / on-premise solution and decent pricing, and the fact that it is open source.
I would never trust my passwords to a closed source project that could be ridden with insecure code and disappear or change considerably on short notice. When the source code is open, chances for survival of the project in one form or another is much higher.
I also like that they take feature requests on their community forum and that their Github repo is active and responsive to issues.
- jariel 7y ago"I would never trust my passwords to a closed source project that could be ridden with insecure code " The thing is, everywhere you use your password is probably 'closed source' and probably has 'lots of bugs'. Ima guess that people re-use a lot of passwords and therefore are going to be at risk due to said 'closed source'. I think that open v. closed may be only one of many considerations.
- worble 7y ago>The thing is, everywhere you use your password is probably 'closed source' and probably has 'lots of bugs'. Well, that's the argument for a password manager, no? You can't trust any of these services, so you generate transient, strong, one time passwords for each of these, and then use a password manager you trust to manage it all instead. If one gets leaked, then sure it's a pain, but at least it doesn't mean they can log into every other service too!
