Great heads up! I will work on self-hosting this month.

There are 2 versions out there, the one from Bitwarden itself, and an open-source rewrite called Vaultwarden.

But, the main developer of works at Bitwarden.

Thankfully you can easily export your passwords and move to another system (unlike say Authy where we had to inject Javascript to extract the TOTP seeds).

What's the current method that works? I keep meaning to ditch Authy, and now that I'm moving to ProtonPass, it seems like a great time to finally finish this (Ente?)

I did it a couple of years ago, I don't know what works today. Sorry.

I would still recommend switching to Vaultwarden. With Tailscale you don't have to expose it to the outside world.

Just keep a copy of the export somewhere else.

I like my export unencrypted and move it to a location that is encrypted.

I have been self-hosting Vaultwarden for a few months and it has been great. But this news still worries me because Vaultwarden still relies on open-source Bitwarden clients and sounds like those could be on the chopping board anytime soon.

Separately, I don't know if there is a self-hostable password manager which allows easy family sharing. (KeepassXC won't work, I believe, because the whole vault is a single file.)
