Password Managers

Self-hosted alternatives to 1Password, LastPass, Bitwarden cloud and Dashlane.

What people say

• share passwords with my team or family
• stop keeping passwords in a spreadsheet
• a password manager I control

Why people self-host it

People leave 1Password, LastPass, Bitwarden cloud, Dashlane for it. Why, strongest first: control, cost, privacy.

Does it suit a machine of your own?

Fits, with conditions the stakes are high: losing the server or its backup locks everyone out; a hosted manager is often the safer choice for people who will not run backups

Questions that decide it

• who will check that backups work?

How to publish it

Usually

none with the app's own login and two-factor, because browser extensions and phone apps cannot pass an Edgible sign-in (the vaultwarden card)

When the data is private or sensitive

the same, with registration closed, two-factor required, and tested backups

The machine

little; an always-on machine and a backup are essential
