You need to turn down your suspicions. Can’t ask questions without drawing the wrath of some users here…

Do you not see that you are being aggressive? Who are you to tell me I have to turn down anything?

Reread the the thread where you came out swinging about insecure servers and then continued over complicating the solution. It's so condescending from the start:

Not interested in selfhosting and risk a data breach. It’s imple: Who is better equipped to combat a hack? You or Bitwarden?

All Ive been talking about is literately an encrypted file which is synced between various devices (regardless of sync method). You started talking like that before you even knew what you were talking about!

Making yourself some kind of victim will not change that.

I thought about it but in the end went with Bitwarden just because it’s convenient and didnt feel like entering the security minefield.

This is all I was asking for. thanks for the feedback.

The “gotcha” about conflicting (as you put it and trying to infer further bad faith conversations) was more about edge cases biting you in the ass. Not fun having to search accounts if you expect them to be securely saved in the vault but not being there.

As I have said, I have been using this for about 15 years. There is no adge case. I was not even trying to convince you to switch from whatever password service you were using. I simply was looking to understand why.

...under the assumption a corp that is specializing and programming a security product is probably better at it than me. And so far the behavior from Bitwarden after being audited and their current breach-history gives me enough faith for now.

I have zero trust in any corporation. I will always take responsibility for my own security as much as I can. Being dependent on corporations, esp., digital tech corporations has led us to where we are today. Keepass is a zero trust solution for me. I don't have to worry too much about where I place it (even Onedrive or Google Drive if needed).

I have no issue with Bitwarden as a project, but I wouldn't trust any server that is tasked with managing my passwords. I will do it myself.

For what it's worth, Keepass has been audited multiple times, including from the EU and I think the EU has (had?) Bug bounties for it. Germany and France definitely audited it.
