Comment on Vaultwarden selfhosting, or bitwarden service?

Do you have a proper backup solution? If you have a catastrophic data error, can you still recover? If not, just choose the hosted infrastructure.
Self-hosting is great. I love it. But when it comes to critical things that you absolutely cannot fuck up, I would rather trust a consumer based solution. If you fuck up your passwords and they’re gone, it’s going to hinder you significantly more than losing sleep about some rando having all your passwords if they break scrypt encryption.

If you have a catastrophic data failure, then you can just use the vault stored on a client to restore it, even if you don’t have backups.

Nice! I was unaware that you could do this. Cheers.

Yeah, it says on their website you can export it from any Bitwarden app, and you can also do it from the CLI if you wanted to for some reason.
Probably be easier in case of emergency to do it from the browser extension though, since you’re gonna have to set up the Vaultwarden server anyway and import the data.
