Comment on Bring Your Own Password Manager: Portable BitWarden on a Pi Zero

Comments

I have a general question regarding the BitWarden server: How would you rate the security between using the official BitWarden server and self-hosting Vaultwarden?

I am sympathetic (and capable) of self-hosting, but if my instance and my passwords are compromised, the fallout could be catastrophic for me. Am I better of in the long term by just using the BitWarden server and assuming that they have better security than I do, even though they are the even jucier target?

I think the idea is that if you use the official client, there is “no risk” because everything is encrypted client side anyway.

In theory.
