What is the point of vaultwarden? Is it safer or less safe than using the bitwarden app/website? (alien.top)

Not sure I understand why you'd want to self host a password manager. Bitwarden has never been breached AFAIK. How is it better or safer to keep if self hosted?

The code is as good as bitwardens, and even better, everyone can see the code to review it's vulnerabilities and fix them.

What is a major factor is you're far less likely to be of interest to a hacker. So whilst crunching numbers to crack bitwarden encryption may make some sense...it makes absolutely zero sense to spend that time to hack mine.

Have there been audits if vaultearden code? Or comparison with bitwarden code? Otherwise I am curious on what do you base that code is as good as bitwarden?

Yeah it sounds pretty appealing. I think I'll make the switch when my bitwarden sub runs out
