I like the feature, but if it requires somebody to creates an account, it's a hard sell. If they got a signal account, which is more likely than a bitwarden account, I'll ask them to use that. If they don't, then something like 0bin.net will likely be easier to use (no account necessary, just copy/paste). Now, bitwarden allows you to send any type of file, which is better than 0bin, being very limited in size, and to text and pictures. But you need a pro account for this. So I'm not sure how it's better than the competition. Although I'm posting this comment so that someone on HN can show be I'm missing something.

I just checked, you don't need an account to open the generated link. Though the documentation could use some work.

  Ah, that's good, I missed that, thx. And the bitwarden trademark is also a selling point. Although it still requires the other party to create an account if they want to send me something. Maybe I should make a PR to add passwords to 0bin though.

  Oh, so if someone uses this wrong (no exp, no password), than these vault links are open to the public?
  - contravariant 6y ago
    Well yeah, but you already had the possibility to share passwords with groups of other Bitwarden users so that's kind of the point.

Bitwarden can be self hosted as well

  While that is true, it is unclear is the Send feature is available on the self hosted, Further most of the time people are using the opensource fork / rust rewrite of BitWarden (bitwarden-rs)which may not have all the features of the official bit warden

    I don’t get why most people trust this unofficial clone. It’s neither audited for security issues (unlike official bitwarden) nor is it developed by bitwarden.

  0bin is a very simple python script and can be hosted as well.
