Pull request #10974 introduces the @bitwarden/sdk-internal dependency which is needed to build the desktop client. The dependency contains a licence statement which contains the following clause:

You may not use this SDK to develop applications for use with software other than Bitwarden (including non-compatible implementations of Bitwarden) or to develop another SDK.

This violates freedom 0.

It is not possible to build desktop-v2024.10.0 (or, likely, current master) without removing this dependency.

pass is enough (+ xdotool + rofi + pass-menu). Synchronization via git or Syncthing.

How does this play with mobile?

Integration with Android

The GnuPG implementation for Android is called OpenKeychain. To configure it, just go to the "key management" menu and import the previously created secret key. The only drawback of OpenKeychain for me personally is that there is no fingerprint unlocking.

The pass implementation for Android is called android-password-store, or simply APS.

Install and launch APS. Before synchronizing the password store, go to the "Settings" menu. There we will need the following items:

Git server settings. The resulting URL should be the same as that specified on the repository page on github. Authorization type - OpenKeychain.
Git utils. In this section, specify the username and email from the gpg key.
OpenPGP provider. Select OpenKeychain.
Autofill.

Now you can clone. Select "clone from server" on the main screen, specify the desired location of the repository, check the git settings.

Of course, pass is not that easy to set up. However, this price buys confidence that the tools we use will not one day be declared obsolete, will not change their data format, and will not be left without support.
