    Bitwarden client applications (web, browser extension, desktop, and cli)

  • This type of problem has been going on for weeks on multiple Linux distros. See for example the Github issue [0].

  • pass-import

    A pass extension for importing data from most existing password managers

  • Why not use some better and entirely open solution, like pass?

    https://www.passwordstore.org/

    As a user of pass for like 4 years, I enjoy reading all those silly threads on password managers doing this and that. Fantastic. And it’s not even an upgrade to use the GUI app here, I can take any often used password of mine with pure Ctrl + R in my terminal, just a second and it’s here, with no need to do extra backups, all the history is in git, and no party will ever change anything about my passwords.

  • wden

    A simple TUI for Bitwarden, written in Rust (by luryus)

  • I've been developing my own TUI Bitwarden client recently: https://github.com/luryus/wden

    I need passwords outside of the browser quite frequently (when SSHing to servers and so on), and the official Electron app just feels clunky and heavy to use and keep running constantly in the background. So creating a small and lightweight client optimized for my own usage patterns has been really useful. It may be useful for others, too, while the official client is broken.

  • homebrew-core

    🍻 Default formulae for the missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  • rofi-rbw

    Rofi frontend for Bitwarden

  • Yes, but it is quite uncomfortable to use, requiring you to get a session key and storing it somewhere. Instead, I've had good experiences with [rbw]. Maybe that would also be interesting for GP.

    I've used to rbw for a rofi (and rofi-like frontend): https://github.com/fdw/rofi-rbw/

  • rbw

    unofficial bitwarden cli

  • Yes, but it is quite uncomfortable to use, requiring you to get a session key and storing it somewhere. Instead, I've had good experiences with [rbw]. Maybe that would also be interesting for GP.
