If you are interested in privacy you are probably interested in password storage … plus I wanted everyone to know about the inevitable future enshitification of this product. Spread the word and replacement recommendations are welcome too.
I just typed out a response to most of this, and rather than repeat all that, I’ll copy a link here https://lemmy.zip/comment/26557132
A lot of it can be summed up in that compromising Vaultwarden means everything is screwed while compromising NextCloud is mainly a minor inconvenience. It provides neither information about the database’s password nor any avenue to attempt to intercept the password.
EDIT: Forgot to mention the worst part about KeePassXC. It’s vibecoded crap.
I replied to that comment. You’re assuming that compromising vaultwarden is somehow easier than compromising nextcloud. No idea why. Intercept the password where? I’m using a local client and only syncing the vault. You seem to be pretty unfamiliar with how vaultwarden works.
Is RiiR still all the rage? Perhaps it’s time to oxidize KeePass. There are a few libraries for kdbx files and at least one ready-made CLI.
No, I’m assuming that compromising NextCloud is less devastating than compromising Vaultwarden, so I’m taking a calculated risk that my database’s password is secure enough to offset the slightly increased risk of access to the encrypted database because I don’t always get to choose all the software I get to use in every environment I work with, so I might have to use the web client if I can’t get the local client.
As for you only using the local client, congrats, we don’t always get to choose what we use outside the home.
