Android-Password-Store VS vaultwarden

There is no "database", it's just a bunch of GPG encrypted files synced with git.

For Android there is https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S....

For Windows the only thing (Pass4Win) i found is unmaintained.

See https://www.passwordstore.org/#other

These are the types of applications that I really love. It stores the data in a cloud service that already has enough free capacity for say a notes app. It's like how we can store pass(1) passwords on a git repository (Sync it with Github) and use that as the destination of Android Password Store[1], and you have a easy password manager.

Password manager -Android-password-store (client for pass)

Since I store most of my passwords using https://www.passwordstore.org/, I have used mobile with https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S.... I'm happy enough with it. Sucks for getting anything into consoles, for obvious reasons.

I use Password Store.

That's the exact setup I use on my main phone. There's also https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S..., which I use on throwaway phones.

The pass command makes this significantly easier:

There's even a decent Android client:

There are Pass-compatible apps for iOS, Android, Windows, etc. I use Password Store on Android and QtPass on Windows.

To people who want to self-host this, look at Vaultwarden which is a fully compatible alternate server with even more features:

Been running it for a year with 0 issues.

For passwords and 2FA I use Bitwarden in combination with a self-hosted Vaultwarden service (for imcreased security and use of pro features for free).

Vaultwarden as Password-Safe

I have a lot of software that I host myself on my home server, partly to save money but also because I want to control my own data. For example, I host VaultWarden which is the open source server for BitWarden. This gives me all the premium features for free with the added bonus of keeping my passwords out of the cloud.

Self hosting is incredibly easy with vaultwarden (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden)

I have now switched to using the BitWarden app with the self-hosted VaultWarden server. I have set it up, so my passwords are only accessible when connected to my home network either physically or with a VPN (I am using tailscale for this).
