More than $35 million has been stolen from over 150 victims since December — ‘nearly every victim’ was a LastPass user::Security experts believe some of the LastPass password vaults stolen during a security breach last year have now been cracked open following a string of cryptocurrency heists
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
I personally use KeepassXD on my phone, although it hasn’t had a security audit. There is also KeepassXC for desktop, which has had an audit
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.
Vaultwarden is incredible, and runs easily on freebsd.
Or should, for that matter
Well… hosting it on your home network and making it only accessible via VPN kinda nips any intruder problems right in the bud.
Bitwarden, the host, is a private entity
I prefer local password managers. Synchronisation is achieved with a syncing service of our choice.
That’s pretty much what Bitwarden does at its core. It will only synchronize the encrypted password vault and each client keeps an offline copy of it.
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
It’s encrypted on the client and bitwarden themselves can’t decrypt it (we assume, but there have been audits that seemed to confirm that).
If you want to you can just run your own server then they can’t see the traffic at all.
Who’s we? You probably mean you assume. Bitwarden is open source so an assumption need not be made.
There’s an assumption that the code you see is the code running on their server. And on top of that there’s lots of other software running on their servers.
Private entities are more reliable for personal data than companies whose stocks have gone public.
