  • SQLite can stop have issues if you copy the files at the wrong time, you need to do a proper dump to be completely safe https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/wiki/Backing-up-your-vault

  • trophy-case

    🏆 Collection of bugs uncovered by fuzzing Rust code

  • Well, it's more than 15 years old, and the ratio of critical security bugs to normal bugs found by fuzzers is lower for rust, which i know is not a perfect metric but it's at least a decent indication that it is actually safer. Source: https://github.com/rust-fuzz/trophy-case and https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/#bugs . Plus, speaking as somebody who does programming as a hobby, it does have some nice features( lifetimes, the way references work and being more explicit about duplication of data, etc.) in terms of memory management that even if they don't 100% prevent critical bugs at least help. But idk, in the grand scheme of things rust is still a new language, so i get the concern.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • rofi-pass

    rofi frontend for pass

  • Easy to sync because it's a git repo, supports every type of MFA / key under the sun (well, everything that GPG does, because it's basically a frontend for GPG). Easy to programmatically search / create scripts for (I use rofi-pass). Easy to install on a vps and access from anywhere. Most importantly, does one thing and does it well, Unix philosophy.

  • pass-import

    A pass extension for importing data from most existing password managers

  • I'm using Pass with git synchronization. I recommend that if you are a developer. You can use one of mobile clients and there is browser extensions for use your favorite browser.
