I think a big reason why password managers tend to have native apps is so that the OS can better integrate with them. For example, iOS' `AuthenticationServices` API which can autofill username & passwords from a third party password manager. I don't think PWAs can achieve this yet. Personally I use Bitwarden, which offers both native and web client for all of my devices.
In any case, still very good to see more choices out there, and congrats on launching!
Edit: word
- koloboss12 6y agoThanks for the comment! I know Bitwarden, I think it may be great alternative for "mainstream" password managers. It's whole ecosystem. But, what I wanted is something much simpler in terms of regular usage, hosting "custom" instance, tinkering. Something which is highly optimised and does only one thing.
- Nextgrid 6y agoI would also say that storing your most valuable secrets in the same process that interacts with untrusted and potentially malicious content (ads, etc) might not be the best idea.
- httpsterio 6y agoDo you use Bitwarden on iOS/iPadOS? How do you get it to auto fill anything? It's quite cumbersome changing Windows back and forth just to copy-paste some fields.
