What is the point of vaultwarden? Is it safer or less safe than using the bitwarden app/website? (alien.top)

Not sure I understand why you'd want to self host a password manager. Bitwarden has never been breached AFAIK. How is it better or safer to keep if self hosted?

Are you asking /r/selthosted what the point of selfhosting is?

I think you may be forgetting that Bitwarden has a self hosted version, it’s just really not commonly used with subs audience. Mostly as until recently they didn’t have a unified deployment and most people only want one container so that plus cost means most don’t use it.

I did not forget.

OP is asking about the point of selfhosting either Vaultwarden or Bitwarden, versus using the Bitwarden website (not selfhosted).
