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.

    You are choosing more convenience over security, which is fine, BUT it’s good to know that syncing your passwords with NextCloud over the internet is not any more secure than syncing it over the internet any other way (that uses any encrypted transport method).

      Not necessarily. Compromising Vaultwarden would allow you to inject malicious JavaScript into the login page to steal passwords. NextCloud in no way interacts with the password database, so it provides no attack surface to the password database itself. Compromising the client for my password manager would require a supply chain attack on a Linux distribution’s package repository or theft of the package signing keys for the Linux distro or the Android app

        What do you mean by comprimising VaultWarden? Someone hacking into your server and changing the login page to include extra javascript? Because if they are gaining code execution on your system, then you might already be done for. I can see your point, but I’m not personally going to be worried about it specifically.

          By compromising Vaultwarden, I mean exploiting some flaw in it to gain extra access that may facilitate further attacks. If they have code execution on my server, they can’t really do anything because the server never provides an interface to unlock the password database. They could attempt a more complicated malware attack on my clients, but that’s WAY more effort than an automated attack on Vaultwarden instances, probably by several orders of magnitude.
