Seems to be an official alternative to Vaultwarden
You’d need a good backup somewhere. But that’s the same for bitwarden cloud. You cannot just assume it will never have issues
No, my problem is that I need my password manager to access my backup, and I need my backup to get my password manager.
That is a bad setup then. Not an issue of the software or hardware.
Thanks for your useful and actionable feedback that clearly explains the problem. So trustworthy /s
Seriously though, this is what break glass accounts are for. Create an account that can access your backups (preferably only the backup system) with a really long password and keep it offline in a safe place. Like a safe. Set up alerting if the break glass account ever gets used.
I had the same issue which is by I don’t self host bitwarden. If my house burned down the same day Bitwarden had a catastrophic outage I’d probably have issues but that seems unlikely.
