> I no longer recommend Bitwarden for normal people because the built-in password manager in Firefox is too good

I wouldn't say it's good, but it does its job, if you can live with the insecurity and limitations. It's very comfortable, which is the only reason I'm still using it over KeePass and Bitwarden. KeepPass has no reliable Browser-integration, and Bitwarden is hard to selfhost. Firefox Passwordmanager is just there, always works, syncs without hassle, usability at it's peak (for this job).



Have you tried vaultwarden (formerly bitwarden-rs)?

It's trivial to self host. I've been running it in a GCP free tier VM for years.


Yes, I know vaultwarden. And it's indeed simple to start the docker-container. But no every use case can be satisfied with docker.


Unless you only have non-Linux hosts available, this use case can :)
