I’m not buying hosting from a password manager, I’m buying security. I don’t have complete confidence that I can secure a self-hosted password manager and it’s not an area where I want to take risks.

It's very simple, just don't make it accessible outside your home network. Clients sync when the server is accessible and use last synced data otherwise.

  • The effort required to set this up far outweighs the price to pay someone to do it for me.

    I pay a cleaner, I have a dishwasher, I pay someone to do my taxes, I pay for companies to host software.

    Then again, I never order food and almost never get takeaway, as cooking is nice and I value my food enough to care what goes in it. Cheaper too, easily offsetting what I pay for my password manager.

    • I mean does it? I have set it up before but I just set it up for my new small office team. I already had an internal server and WireGuard vpn in our office and it took 2 minutes to create a quadlet to run vaultwarden and a few more to configure it. The “hardest” part was training the team on how to use collections.
