    instead of using a password manager managed by a PRIVATE ENTITY people should start using bitwarden … its opensource, free and much more secure and reliable

      But who is running the bitwarden server? Bitwarden the private company.

      I self host vault warden, but it’s really not something everyone can do.

      How does bitwarden encrypt their passwords? Im just realising that since it works on both my laptop and phone with no configuration it can’t be overly nuanced

      Private entities are more reliable for personal data than companies whose stocks have gone public.
