Comment on Vaultwarden while allowing family emergency access

The Bitwarden client works offline, syncing the database locally when online. So won’t that also happen with vaultwarden? Everyone would still have access to what was last synced.

bitwarden logs me out and some of my friends once or twice every year. It’s not reliable for that. I’m pretty sure there’s an undocumented logout trigger in the code somewhere

I was wrong to think that, I tested bitwarden Android client in airplane mode and it worked, but I didn’t realize that had a “signed-in” state separate from unlocking the vault with the password.

I don’t think you always need the server, only one of my clients was logged out for unknown reason. Two other clients that I have worked just fine. But it seems that if you’ve been logged out, unlocking the database might be not so trivial. I still need to research this though.
