I’m not a bitwarden user, does this mean users can’t access their secrets on their own machine if they are logged out? Because that’s not how 1Password works. I suspect that isn’t the case but it sounds like it to me

I use Bitwarden and am able to access and create secrets

  But are you able to log out of the desktop client or mobile client, then log in and see your things?

    If the title here says “Bitwarden login down”, I think it is extremely reasonable to assume the answer is “no”. Because that’s what it means for the login to be down.

Bitwarden works offline. You can just not sign in on a new device.

I just tried it myself on a machine completely logged out, and the login page is simply spinning.

  That is deeply concerning, no?

    No. A temporary outage affecting logging in does not sound “deeply” concerning at all, especially if people who are logged in are still able to use the app normally. I don’t use Bitwarden, but this outage does not affect my opinion of Bitwarden’s hosted service. I’m not aware of any SaaS that achieves 100% uptime. If you want to control your own destiny, I hear that you can self-host bitwarden, but the uptime will almost certainly be lower than a well-managed hosted service.

There is a difference between logged out and locked(default state of the client after opening the browser/restarting android/something you can configure in your settings). If it's only locked you can get your data, no problem. If you're logged out, no data is stored on the client. Not sure if this distinction exists in 1password.

  1Password stores data locally and syncs. So, this wouldn’t impact 1Password as far as I am aware. They use AWS, not Azure though.
