What you give up either way
- Cross-platform, production-grade browser extensions and mobile apps
- Enterprise integrations (SSO, SCIM, directory connectors) and Access Intelligence
- Decades of product polish, audits, and large customer support organization
- Official security audits, bug bounty program, and certified compliance
- Built-in authenticator, passkey sync, and federated account recovery flows
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Bitwarden, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
