Let's say you're not a Linux system administrator, and not as paranoid as I am. Don't have a server of your own? You can even install and run Bitwarden off a Raspberry Pi. If doing it from scratch is too daunting for you, you can set Bitwarden up pretty easily on your own machine using Docker containers. Suppose, however, you don't trust anyone with your IDs and passwords? In that case, you can do what I do and run your own Bitwarden server. Don't believe me? Check your email address or phone number on HaveIbeenPwned and prepare for an unpleasant surprise. Spoiler alert: odds are your passwords are already out there.
This last feature checks to see if any of your passwords have already been exposed. The cost? You can run it for free on every device and browser you've got.įor free, you also get a cloud-based store for all your passwords, Bitwarden Web Vault a random password generator two-factor authentication (2FA) and the added safety of Bitwarden's database breach feature.
With its browser extensions, you can also use it on Brave, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Vivaldi, and Tor. For example, as a client, you can run it on Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iPhone, and iPad. Leaving aside the licensing issue, the practical side of Bitwarden is it's free to use both on a server or a client. I wish it were under, say, an Apache license, but it's still more open source-friendly than anything else out there so I'll live with it.
