Bitwarden

I’ve seen Bitwarden show up in this thread a few times. I’ve been a longtime user of KeePassX. Is there any particular reason I should consider switching?

What made me choose bitwarden is the emergency access feature.

It allows to designate someone as an emergency contact. This person can request access to your vault and if you don’t deny the request then they will have access after x days.

This way, if something happens to me then someone in my close family can still access my account.

I got the case recently with my brother in law who got into an accident and thanks God his laptop was not locked so my sister could access his accounts.

Because if not it can be a nightmare ! Having to deal with all the utilities company, harassing you because you did not pay the bill that arrived on a locked email account, then not being able to pay the bill anyways because you have to connect on they website … on top of getting your husband and the father of your child in the hospital in a coma.

This is a very good point. I’ve often wondered about a safe and secure method of getting my important passwords to a family member in the unfortunate event that something should happen to me.

That said, I’m very sorry to hear about your brother-in-law.

There is a new maintained fork of keepassx called keepassxc as well if you want to stick with keepass

I noticed that as well. I’m going to try using both for a week or two, just to see how it goes. KeePassXC seems identical to KeePassX, which is nice. But maybe Bitwarden will win me over; it seems quite popular.

if you are afraid of data loss, bitwarden is a good choice because it is cloud based and it can also be self-hosted.

If you can get Nectcloud running there’s a KeePass integration addon there that can also make it cloud based and self hosted! The Keepass2Android app can even sync with it directly.

Yeah, It’s no longer being developed. See: https://www.keepassx.org/index.html%3Fp=636.html

I’ll be in Germany next month, so I’ll have to try out Transportr

Transportr is not covering all cities in Germany, while DB does. So do have both :)

If it covers Mannheim/Frankfurt, that should be sufficient. I will most likely be using the train just to get to and from the airport/Mannheim where I will be staying.

I use Mull which is hardened for privacy. All Fennec derivatives support custom addons and setting the collection yourself is possible.

Apperantly the addons are taken from this collection, which can be set up on fennec as well

Thanks for recommending Libretube. I just switched to GrapheneOS and was looking for a FOSS revanced replacement without the need for Play Services or MicroG. Libretube is absolutely perfect.
