"Bitwarden does not warn about this risk."
This is wrong. The Bitwarden client very clearly warns about storing your encryption key locally via a mandatory popup window, as seen here: https://i.imgur.com/BzXJmos.png https://i.imgur.com/BzXJmos.png
- shiftingleft 4y agoIt looks like this is a popup for a different setting. Did you watch the video outlined in the post? The author is arguing that such a popup should also exist when locking a vault with a PIN only.
- IshKebab 4y agoThat's about as unclear as I could imagine. "If you use this option please ensure you take the appropriate precautions."
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoThat's not what it says though. How would you phrase it? I don't think they do a great job but this is pretty hard to explain in two sentences if you're targeting a non-technical person.
- IshKebab 4y ago"If you use this option then your passwords will not be stored securely. Any program or person that can read your files can also read your passwords."
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoI'm pretty sure that comes up only if you disable vault timeout entirely, not if you enable a timeout but allow unlock with PIN.
