I'm glad that Bitwarden moved quickly to resolve this. At least for me, Firefox's password manager isn't really a replacement. Bitwarden is approved by my employer, self-hostable, and supports logins for the litany of apps across my browsers and mobile devices. Whether it's the mobile app, mobile website, or site in my browser, Bitwarden just works for the most part. It's also quite nice that Bitwarden can store arbitrary information like CCs, secure notes, and how I capitalized the answers to security questions and other account recovery/login information.

I use my password manager (currently 1Password, but I have been looking at self-hosting Bitwarden/Vaultwarden) more for storing credit card information and security questions. Most built-in password managers don't cut it on that front.

It's more than self-hostable! There's at least one API-compatible alternative (vaultwarden) which works with the official client. Yay to breaking down walls.

  Vaultwarden is great! I've been running it for years (since it was bitwarden-rs) on a free-tier GCP VM. I use a cronjob to back up the DB to Backblaze B2 with rclone.

Its Bitwarden only for personal use. Do they have a solution for Multi-use password sharing?

  in Vaultwarden you can have "organizations" that are like groups of people and you can have passwords there that are accessible by members No idea how this maps into Bitwarden's own offerings though but all clients support this kind of thing

    The downside is you can only share to other users on your Vaultwarden instance. You can't e.g., set up emergency sharing to family members who use cloud Bitwarden.

      well this is true the other way around BW clients support having several accounts at once so you're not forced to choose. Your family can have a regular bitwarden.com account and your vw.example.com account just for emergency access

  Yes, my wife and I each have our own bitwarden account, and an "organization" where shared passwords go. It's worked great for quite a few years now.
