Hacker News Reader

Bitwarden gets recommended so much on Hacker News that it feels kind of like astroturfing.

That being said, I use Bitwarden and it's great.

I evaluated LastPass, OnePassword, and Bitwarden personally for my devices (Windows / macOS / Linux / iOS). Bitwarden supports all these plus more, is cheap, lightweight, reliable, UX-decent, and open-source.

If you build a great product people need, it's not a headspinner why people would use it and buy it. Hopefully going into this recession we'll see more products with that lesson baked in.

Other than being open source, what does Bitwarden offer over Lastpass on the free tier?

For me: the ability to self-host and the ability to read through the code.
