I'd like to see a Open Source password vault which relies on open hardware storage for passwords. Clients only get rate-limited amount of passwords when the hardware is prompted to give, e.g. from physical button confirmation on the hardware, finger print. Point being that clients don't hold the passwords, just the usernames.
Problem with Bitwarden etc. is that if your computer or one of the devices gets compromised, then all of your passwords are lost at the same time. With hardware based vault you can mitigate this somewhat, with rate-limiting, physical prompt etc.
I have 1600 passwords, I use perhaps 10 different per week. If I get compromised I loose 1600 passwords, but with hardware based system I potentially loose just the 10 I used within the last week.
