Use the “passwords” feature to check if one of yours is compromised. If it shows up, never ever reuse those credentials. They’ll be baked into thousands of botnets etc. and be forevermore part of automated break-in attempts until one randomly succeeds.

    For everyone else reading, bitwarden is an open source free password manager. The pro features are less password related and more about sharing access, file storage, and 2fa authenticator integration

      Fair point.

      The self-hosting part was mostly about total control over my own systems and less about the paid features. It’s very much not necessary.

      As far as pro features go, It was the TOTP authenticator integration that was kind of important to me. ~20% of my accounts have TOTP 2fa, and bitwardens clients will automatically copy the latest 2fa code into the clipboard when filling a password.

      Bitwarden will even tell you if a saved account could have 2fa (the service offers it), but it’s not setup/saved in bitwarden atm.

        That’s fair. I use Aegis for OTP, but more frequently I get services pining at me to make a passkey, which Bitwarden also handles.
