Writing a cli with JavaScript? No thank you.

It's typescript and pretty sure all of the Official Bitwarden clients are written in it.

I wrote a version in Python and then rust back before the official CLI was released. Now you can use https://github.com/doy/rbw instead, much better maintained (since I don't use Bitwarden anymore).

  • What do you use?

    • I have family I need to support, so I use 1password. It also helped that work gives me a 1P family plan free.

      The practical differences to me:

          * 1P is aimed at non-tech users more than Bitwarden.
          * 1P lets you easily store things other than just passwords (serial #'s, license info, SSN's, etc) You can in Bitwarden, but it's a little annoying.
          * 1P lets you store SSH keys(by effectively being an ssh-agent): https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/
      

      All that said, I still happily recommend BW, especially for people that are cost-conscious, the free BW plan is Good Enough for most everyone.

      Security wise, they are equivalent enough to not matter.
