Proton is great but I do feel wary from putting all my eggs in one basket again.
Same, staying with bitwarden for now
Bitwarden also has better features for now like more solid URL matching (handy if you have a bunch of services on subdomains of the same domain name).
Hey what type of URL matching do you use for achieving this? BW suggest me all the entries for a domain and doesn’t differentiate sub domains.
You have to set each entry under the same domain to to match against “host” and you’re set.
I use “Host” matching to only target specific subdomains.
I don’t have Bitwarden installed right now but I believe they had a parameter called „starts with“ or something? That has always been solid for me.
Same, staying with keepass for forever
Same. Although the simplelogin integration seems nice.
I discovered not too long ago that Bitwarden has the same integration! https://bitwarden.com/blog/add-privacy-and-security-using-email-aliases-with-bitwarden/
You need to configure it on each device though, and you need to generate an API key first.
I was just about to write this… Proton is cool, but I only use mail from them. All my other services are independent from each other, and soon I will be self hosting most of them.
I’m switching from privatevpn to protonvpn just for the port forwarding with wireguard within a terminal, no stupid GUI app. Quite pleased with the service, they do VPN well.
Just give me a Linux client for proton drive please. I’m tired of manually uploading/downloading files 😐
Yeeeeees. If you’re orienting your company as the privacy-alternative it’d be great to emphasize support for the main privacy-oriented OS. I get that developers don’t grow on trees, but this seems like a pretty crucial feature that should be prioritized.
I mean, I recently switched to Proton knowing what I was getting into, but I’d really like to see this happen soon.
Very cool! Thank you for this.
I tried this before and it was very unreliable when used with WebDAV.

i tried it recently, and it worked, it may have broken since then though
I’ll still stick with bitwarden, but if I were to introduce someone very tech illiterate, I would probably recommend proton

Drive is under a different org:

I’ll take KeepassXC and KeepassDX + SyncThing, just works and I don’t have to ever rely on someone else for my most sensitive data.
This. At least until i find a better solution than syncthing. But keepass(xc) all the way.
I tried Google Drive, and also Seafile. the catch is that it needs to sync the files to your phones local file system. You could also do Next cloud or use Folder sync. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite
Problem is, i want to exclude third parties. I’d prefer a direct heavily encrypted connection directly to my server. Definitely not a cloud somewhere, especially not google & co.
Nextcloud is way too blown up and vulnerable for me. I really only need file-synching. Got servers working for the other stuff like caldav.
i use Termux and just scp/rsync my stuff around.
ideallyi’d use Unison sync inside termux, but it hasnt been packaged and i dont know the first thing about ocaml, so it’d be hard for me to make the needed adjustments to package it.
Termux/Rsync is nice and all, but not really a comfy fire’n’forget-solution like syncthing.
And today i heard the first time of unison sync. So i have no opinion at all here, but thanks for the hint.
for the love of god use a free open source app like keepass, this is a untrustworthy company
I’ve been using Keepass like more than 5 years. And its perfect.
Which F-Droid client is that?
Looks like the standard F-Droid client
Oh wait it’s not, F-Droid doesn’t show the file size at the top
Yeah everything except the file size showing checks out
Edit : maybe it is the new versions or beta which most of us don’t have as it is not suggested .
huh, my standard f-droid client does show the file size
it’s the standard one
Or even better use a local password manager. People will be swallowed by so much false comfort
Isn’t keepass local?
keepass is local
How does it compare to vaultwarden/bitwarden?
When it launched the apps were more modern than bitwarden. If bitwarden hasn’t improved since, then it’s still the same
Bitwarden’s interface hasn’t changed a bit and it’s a pity
Whats wrong with it?
Bitwarden is excellent but i have a few nitpicks on Android.
I wish I could change the “Username” field to “Email address” because it kind of annoys me having email addresses under usernames. I’d also like to add things to favourites or folders without having to go into edit mode on every entry individually. Same with adding notes. The app has trouble following the system theme and doesn’t always autofill reliably for me, meaning I sometimes have to go into the app and copy/paste my passwords manually.
Other than that, the UI is just a bit ugly compared to some other password managers,
Try Keyguard, it is open source and much nicer than the regular Bitwarden app. Do not use the version from the Play Store though, get it directly from Github.
It’s not open source. Only source available unfortunately.
I did not realize that. That explains why it’s not on F-Droid. Really unfortunate but at least it can still be publicly audited.
Huh, this is the first time I heard about this, thanks for sharing!
Do not use the version from the Play Store though, get it directly from Github.
Why? I use Vaultwarden with Bitwarden from the Playstore is there anything wrong with it?
The version on the Play Store requires a “premium” subscription for some features but the Github release gets those for free.
There is no guarantee that play store build contains the same code as GitHub repository. Ideally you’d need to compile apps yourself.
But most of the time stuff like vaultwarden is trustworthy enough.
Thank you, I will have a look at this!
Weren’t they planning to change it from Microsoft’s Android UI, it’s just taking a while, as they have to rebuilt it from scratch? I thought I saw something about that.
Correct, they announced it two months ago: https://www.androidpolice.com/bitwarden-app-about-prettier/
There is nothing wrong with it. Why people always want things to be changing? What really important feature are you missing?
And what better person to answer that question than Mr. Bitwarden himself:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/1b32bbz/going_native_the_future_of_the_bitwarden_mobile/
Looks like everything is essentially in the same spot UI wise, but with a native application that hopefully gets moving a lot faster.
I’ve noticed that currently on Bitwarden, for auto fill it takes 6-7 seconds just to get authenticated with fingerprint and fill in the username and password field. That should hopefully be down to like 2 or 3 seconds.
A few for me:
- Automatically updating entries with app or URL information if they didn’t match and you had to manually search for them. You have to copy the URL, leave the browser, open the app, search for the entry again, and manually add the URL in the current version.
- Better defaults in the app like which group you log in to or which collection new entries are added to. Keeping all your entries added to a shared collection is a constant chore right now.
- Better keyboard functionality. It’s basically impossible to navigate with a keyboard on PC right now. Keepass has a global auto type hotkey which made it so you hardly even had to open the app.
a new client is on the way btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rVQOESKbbA
Do you know if there’s a new interface coming for android as well?
Thanks for sharing, thats exciting!
The new client will use Material You.
Thats dope! I’ll be looking forward to it, thanks for sharing your knowledge of what’s going on ☺️
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
good bot!
It’s about to get Material You
What do you feel it’s missing? It’s a tad slower than I’d like but otherwise works quite well.
I don’t think protonpass has auto fill even on browser extension.
Or maybe I’m too stupid to figure it out. I ran side by side against bitwarden which I love. Could not figure out a way that didn’t make me manually c/p the creds.
For me keepassxc is a dramatic improvement over a centralised service.
I use both and am afraid that I will lose the passwords in Proton Pass as Its a service they can restrict me of.
I should startto copy some accountd that I dont have yet in keepass but keepass is still the master holder
I’m not really sure what happens if Proton bans your account for any reason but Proton Pass does have offline access. I assume if you turn off internet access, you can still get all your passwords.
Neat, I’m personally gonna keep with KeepassDX, but it’s good knowing that there’s some more variety popping up in the mobile market.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
Very much agree
I use protonmail and very happy with that, so much so I pay for it.
But I would not place my mail and all my secrets in the same spot.
Hanno iniziato da un po’ di tempo a fornire troppi servizi, dovrebbero focalizzarsi di più a sistemare quelli che hanno. La webmail di Protonmail è un abominio: perdita di selezione multipla aprendo un’email, email che ricompaiono subito dopo averle cancellate, ricerca…stendiamo un velo pietoso!
Proton VPN and nothing more.
They need to focus on providing quality services instead of quantity. The ProtonMail webmail is a shame: multiple selection lost if you click just outside the checkbox because that will open the email, emails that just after have been deketed reappear in the inbox and don’t get me started on the search 🤢!
P.s. I’ve double commented because I’ve just realized that I’ve written the other comment in Italian 😆, sorry.
the password manager kinda sucks too. credit cards are in a category that you have to delete the name of the site you’re visiting in order to see. sometimes I question why I’m paying for the thing. lastpass was way better 10 years ago.
Long time Bitwarden user. Never been steered wrong. One of the few apps that I pay for premium not because I need the extra features, but because I value it enough to support the devs financially
