+1 to Bitwarden, and in particular the Vaultwarden implementation.
I've been self hosting it for a number of years now and have never had to think about it ever again - it works, has clients for all my platforms, never had any issues.
- ohCh6zos 5y agoI looked at self hosting Bitwarden/Vaultwarden, do they require me to have a mail server?
- skipnup 5y agoNot a self hosted mailserver. SMTP is sufficient.
- skipnup 5y agoCorrection: can also be used without any email support.
- xanaxagoras 5y agoI use Vaultwarden this way. When I login to the web interface (basically never) I get the following notice because I never verified my account's e-mail address: > Verify your account's email address to unlock access to all features. Also I am unable to change my account's e-mail address. That's the only "locked feature" I'm aware of. I also don't know of any other issues from not setting up SMTP. edit: Oops, I thought you were ohCh6zos asking a clarifying question
- ohCh6zos 5y agoThis answers my followup question, so thank you!
- the_svd_doctor 5y agoNo. I use vaultwarden without any email at all.
- 2dvisio 5y agoMoved from LastPass (premium) to Bitwarden. Could have stayed on the free tier but decided to pay to support them, it’s a fraction of LastPass!
- faitswulff 5y agoDitto. I figure I’ll move to vaultwarden if the official implementation ever makes a decision I strongly disagree with.
- number6 5y agoI would advise to switch the support is so much better and nicer. Plus lighter on the server
- princevegeta89 5y agoI guess VaultWarden may start monetizing at some point if it gets too popular?
- potency 5y agoI tried this move but I really missed the way LastPass asks you to save a new password created on a new service. On Bitwarden I felt like I had to save the account first before progressing to actually creating the account. LastPass "just knew" and would prompt me after going to the next screen. Has this changed it all since I last tried it a year or so ago?
- csb6 5y agoFor me it varies. On some sites Bitwarden prompts to add the new password, but not every site. Still I would say it prompts most of the time, but YMMV.
