Comment on Vaultwarden selfhosting, or bitwarden service?

There’s not a need to have vaultwarden up all of the time unless you use new devices often or create and modify entries really often. The data is cached on the device and kept encrypted by the app locally. So a little downtime shouldn’t be a big issue in the large majority of cases.

Bitwarden does my OTP as well. You don’t need the servers for that?

It you’re talking about TOTP exclusively, that only needs the secret and the correct time on the device. The secret is cached along with the passwords on the device.

Nope, just tested. There are hardware OTP devices that have no Internet connectivity. As far as I know, all OTP protocols are offline-friendly.
