What’s with the downvotes? The article makes good points, and brings them across politely:
it’s a $100M for-profit company
it’s heavy (compared to Vaultwarden, a Bitwarden compatible Rust rewrite)
its code base requires proprietary MS libraries and other esoteric (seen from the POV of a *nix user) stuff. I might have summarized this one badly, just read the chapter, it’s not long.
My guess is people are salty because
they use Bitwarden and don’t like to see it criticized
they got upset by the javascript overlay which is hilarious imo. I certainly got rick-rolled for a hot second.
FWIW, I don’t serve my password database on the www at all. It sits on my own server and I can access it with all my devices, but the software to do that is local only.

i really don’t get it either. i feel like op tends to write well researched and thought out blogs, which are nice to read too. @op: you do good stuff!

How does your phone and laptop outside of the network get to vault warden? Just using a VPN?

I didn’t downvote, but personally I’m upset that this article doesn’t give you a good alternative, only a ridiculously complex new setup that is unrealistic and impractical for most users.
