I personally use passwordstore.org with a git repo on a personal VPS. But I wanted to set up a password manager for my boomer parents and looks like Bitwarden is one of the better options out there.

The problem is that the free tier sounds a bit too good to be true so I am worried that it might just disappear or discontinue one day. Any idea if this fear is unfounded or not?

If you have been using Bitwarden please share your experience with it. Would like to hear.

    I was hosting it myself for a while. The user experience is great. They have a really nice script for the server too.

    However, the stuff I self host is meant to be low maintenance, and bitwarden wasn’t that. Expect frequent update requirements, otherwise functionality might break. It might be possible to automate the updates etc., I haven’t tried it.

    In the end I figured that keepass is just as simple (nearly) and you can put the database on a cloud share so you can add passwords on any device and have them synced.
