I'm probably going to have to leave LastPass later this month. Bitwarden seems like it ticks all my boxes, especially around self hosting. There's a Rust server implementation made by the community that doesn't require much resources so I could stuff it on an existing crowded server I rent.

I've tried LastPass and 1Pass before, and switched to Bitwarden 2 years ago. It's the best!

  Too bad Bitwarden does not support sync to folder/iCloud/Dropbox/whatever. I prefer not to deal with self hosted environment but I also am worried about depending on someone else hosting for accessing my passwords.

    Then you're better off using KeyPass or one of its derivatives.

    I currently use Enpass which supports syncing via many services including those. I’ll probably switch to Bitwarden eventually because I’m a magpie but I haven’t so far because Enpass does everything I need.

    AFAIK the bitwarden apps hold a local copy of your database. So if the servers go down you just use the local database, from which you can also export from to csv as well.

      It does. Here’s the support document showing where the vault data is stored: https://bitwarden.com/help/article/data-storage/ https://bitwarden.com/help/article/data-storage/

        You can still view your vault, you just can't edit/save stuff.

I have done exactly the same more than a year ago. Couldn't be happier. The bitwardenrs server is extremely lightweight so it runs with almost no resources. Please consider bitwardenrs is a 3rd party implementation, indeed community led, so it lags several features which have been introduced by Bitwarden itself. See the full list of feature requests in the Rust implementation here [1], but the two things I'll miss most are Emergency Access and now this feature called Bitwarden Send.

bitwarden_rs works great for me and was easy to deploy. However, it doesn't support Bitwarden Send. Not a deal breaker for me, but worth pointing out in the context of this thread.

I just switched last week, so can confirm that as of very recently, it is still far superior to lastpass. Two notes worth highlighting - UX is much lighter and more reliable for Bitwarden on web - iOS implementation of Bitwarden is faster, more reliable, and has better interaction with the keyboard than last pass. I find the Bitwarden experience on iOS a considerable upgrade.
