#Msecure extension password

It's one of the reasons deleting those duplicate logins is too tedious to do, because it takes multiple seconds of waiting clicking a login, editing it, then deleting it and waiting for it to refresh. I find Bitwarden to be a bit slow in general. The migration was easy and day to day it works well enough.

LastPass was 'fine' for me, it did the job but some teething things caused me to switch: The constant duplication of logins (Which I still have in my vault because it's a pain to clean) and at the time, they basically ignored Firefox when Firefox switched to a new extension type. I've been using Bitwarden for a few years now after migrating from LastPass. I have no time to actively contribute to that project, but I still watch the progress with joy and I also help with the language translation for the official client implementations. Perhaps thanks to that, perhaps it was a coincidence, but anyway bitwarden_rs became popular, the number of downloads got to millions, more contributors started developing it and rest is history. Couple months later I've shared some info on r/selfhosted.

That's when I actually started using this as my regular password manager.

Dani was great to work with, patiently reviewing my code and couple weeks later sharing was implemented. This one also didn't have sharing implemented, but it was written in Rust that I wanted to do more of, so I've started working on adding that functionality. I wrote enough Ruby before to know I didn't want to write that functionality myself.įortunately just around that time a new project popped on github called bitwarden_rs. There was popular server implementation that was written in Ruby, but that didn't have the password sharing functionality implemented. The official self hosted server required MS SQL and thus a lot of RAM that I just didn't have in my home server. I briefly considered keepass, but adding synchronization turned out to be a pain - especially for family members, that are less technically inclined. That limited my options quite significantly. I wanted to use open-source, because I like the fact that I can see the code and change it and I wanted something I could host myself. I needed to share some of my passwords within family. I wanted to use passwords outside the browser or across different browsers. That worked reasonably well, but I was missing two features: My story: I was using Firefox (and Firefox sync) for password storage and synchronization. I just want to find out more about the product's journey.

Note: I am not looking for a review or feedback of the product. I haven't tried any other dedicated password managers, and I most likely will keep it that way for the foreseeable future. Then a few weeks back, I moved everything to Bitwarden. Eventually, used Google's password manager to change all passwords to randomly generated passwords. Then last year, I started moving the passwords to Chrome one by one. I either used the same simple password or I come up with an algorithmic password based on the base URL of the site.

So, if any one of you has been using for Bitwarden for many years, preferably from the beginning, how was the product in the initial stages? What were the more interesting enhancements that were introduced over the past few years?Ībout me: Till last year, I was using weak passwords for most of the sites. Right now, I see a very good product and I am interested to find out how it was years ago because I keep thinking that I should have done this a long long time ago. I am curious to know about the experience of people who have been using Bitwarden since the early days.
