What you mean is it hasn't been breached *yet*.
All commercial password managers have a huge, fuck off, target on their backs
Nobody is going to come after some random blokes self-hosted password manager to get access to their Sonarr (I'm trivialising to make the point) as long as if a similar effort would get them into Bitwarden.
It's the same principal as bears in the wood - nobody needs to outrun a bear, just your companion
OK, thanks for the solid answer. I suppose the core of my question was that pretty much: is it just as secure AND a less likely target than bitwarden. That makes a lot of sense to me. I would probably still worry about the strength of the code , though. Do we know if/how it's been audited?
The code is as good as bitwardens, and even better, everyone can see the code to review it's vulnerabilities and fix them.
What is a major factor is you're far less likely to be of interest to a hacker. So whilst crunching numbers to crack bitwarden encryption may make some sense...it makes absolutely zero sense to spend that time to hack mine.
Yeah it sounds pretty appealing. I think I'll make the switch when my bitwarden sub runs out
Have there been audits if vaultearden code? Or comparison with bitwarden code? Otherwise I am curious on what do you base that code is as good as bitwarden?
