If you are interested in privacy you are probably interested in password storage … plus I wanted everyone to know about the inevitable future enshitification of this product. Spread the word and replacement recommendations are welcome too.

There’s this wild technology called a hotspot. You can use your already authenticated device to give another device access to your services indirectly.
That level of security is exactly the same as exposing your password manager to the “fucking” internet. Not sure why you criticized it before when you (incorrectly) assumed that I was doing that.
There’s also this dated technology called a wired connection that some other dated technologies require. Since I don’t get to choose every device I interact with or depend on, that’s not always available.
I would disagree. A Bitwarden instance identifies itself as such to every visitor that comes by. It advertises itself as a particularly high value target. By contrast, a lot of what a NextCloud instance hosts is often personal and more valuable to the user than a hacker, so it does not become clear if there’s anything of value inside.
It also decreases the attack surface of my password manager itself because there are fewer features in it that may have a potential exploit. Even if an attacker compromises the NextCloud instance, that may grant access to the file itself, but they still have to contend with the entire security of the password manager. No device will ever make any contact with the server for password purposes other than to sync the database file, and there’s no web interface to inject a password stealing JavaScript file.
