Thoughts on Bitwarden? (lemmy.ml)

I personally use passwordstore.org with a git repo on a personal VPS. But I wanted to set up a password manager for my boomer parents and looks like Bitwarden is one of the better options out there.

The problem is that the free tier sounds a bit too good to be true so I am worried that it might just disappear or discontinue one day. Any idea if this fear is unfounded or not?

If you have been using Bitwarden please share your experience with it. Would like to hear.

Definitely recommended for the boomers. It's relatively user friendly, will work/sync on all their devices without you having to think about it. And if it doesn't work out in the future, there's no lock in.

I've used it for years. I ran my own server at first, just to make sure it was possible and reasonable. It was nice, and fully featured (I used the third-party bitwarden_rs sever, now called vaultwarden). But eventually I got tired of maintaining it and just switched to the free account bitwarden offers, reassured that I could load a backup to self-hosted again at any time if bitwarden's servers ever go away, or get bought out by a disagreeable corporation, or whatever.
