You don't need to be a multi-person team or have a lot of security experience to host Bitwarden.

I'm very positive Bitwarden won't get hungry for money looking at their revenue models, but there's always Vaultwarden you can self host. It's pretty popular and secure. I'll be deploying soon for myself.

I'm sure that's true. But when it comes to the think with my bank's passwords - I'd rather trust a team of professionals.

This morning I loaded up the dishwasher, switched it on, and completely forgot to add a cleaning tablet. I don't want the responsibility of forgetting to update a critical patch or misconfiguring an obscure YAML file.

Without a security background, it’s hard to evaluate whether what you are doing is secure or not. You don’t know what you don’t know; unknown unknowns etc

This is a valid point. I feel savvy with a lot of things but this is not an area where I'm willing to take risks.

Given that the cloud password managers are much bigger targets, self-hosting may actually lower your risk.
