Re: [PLUG] Blog: Great KeepassXC article

There is always Vaultwarden to get around the .Net/Mono stuff. It is a re-written Bitwarden server, written in Rust. It uses the Bitwarden clients, so you still have the same options there. It isn't 100% feature complete, but should work for most home users.

https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden

Here is what it DOESN'T have, compared to official Bitwarden:

Features that may be added as time permits (contributions are always welcome):
- Bitwarden Public API / Organization API key
- Live sync (push notifications) for mobile clients (Android/iOS)
- Admin Password Reset
- Certain enterprise policies:
- Master Password Reset

Features that probably won't be added unless contributed:
- Single Sign-On (SSO)
- Custom roles
- Certain enterprise policies (UI not open source, would probably need to be configured via admin page):
- Vault Timeout
- Disable Personal Vault Export

For KeePass, it's covered in TFA, but I should have noted that there is a CLI tool, and that all the tools notice when the file changes on-disk and merge, so you can sync the file (or keep it in Git). We have a file in Git at $WORK, and can use the CLI client on headless servers if needed, yet the Windows folks can grab the file from the Git web server and that Just Works too. Very nice.

As Rich M. points out, I should have mentioned Bitwarden as well. Everything about that sounds awesome...until you get the to .NET/Mono part. That's a show-stopper for me; I am not a fan.

These are my notes, entitled: Dump LastPass, use Bitwarden:

Free cloud-based store for all your passwords, Bitwarden Web Vault; a random password generator; two-factor authentication (2FA); and Bitwarden's database breach feature (HaveIbeenPwned)
*Free self-hosted server if you want it*
