Hi RuedigerJoe,
I don't know what „im” and “ofc” mean (typos?), but Bitwarden is an excellent password vault.
For individuals and private use it's free of charge, but not limited in functions a private person needs.
Tip: if you want to use it on servers not in the USA, then go slowly through the registering process and change the server location first, which is hidden on their website: search for “Server: bitwarden.com”, it is a pull-down menu!
There is the option to select a server in Europe! This can easily be overlooked!
By clicking on this pull-down menu it appears the second choice: “Server: bitwarden.eu”
But with a secure master password, it doesn't matter on which server the encrypted password vault file is stored anyway. I just wanted to mention it because it is important to some people.
Bitwarden is the only open source password vault that is available for all common platforms, so whether Android OS, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, web browser – one password vault for all devices.
Good if you use different operating systems or want/need to switch in the foreseeable future.
Full administration of the password vault is possible online via the web browser, where you can also activate 2FA (yes, even for the free version!).
2FA: You should also use this urgently, because if you really do use a master password that is cracked, the attacker also needs the second factor – he doesn't have it, so you'll still be safe.
As best apps for 2FA, I recommend Aegis Authenticator (Android OS) and OTP Auth (iOS).
A big advantage of Bitwarden in comparison with other online solutions:
Also the meta data are encrypted!
I am using Bitwarden since March 2023 and I am very happy with it!
Previously, I only used offline solutions (iOS/macOS: Strongbox, Android: KeePassDX).
– Also excellent, but as soon as you want to set up several user profiles in GrapheneOS or simply use many devices with passwords, Bitwarden is much more convenient and still secure. And it's easier to keep track of hundreds of credentials.
