+<h3>2023-12-04</h3>
+<h4>Migrating from password-store to Bitwarden and RBW</h4>
+<p>
+  I've been using Pass (<a href="https://www.passwordstore.org/"
+   >password-store</a
+ >) for a couple of years now, and it works really well on the command line and
+  with command line apps. Browser extensions exist that while not earth
+  shattering, do work. Setting up a remote git repository and sharing the
+  repository on another computer is relatively easy, and overall it appeals to
+  my ideal of no-nonsense software.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Problems arise however when you want to share your password store on Android.
+  Getting the android app to work with the same repository is a few steps away
+  from planetary orbit insertion calculations.
+</p>
+<p>
+  After fiddling with it for a few hours, I threw in the towel. I must be too
+  dumb. The most recent user written howto I found dated from 2018, for an older
+  version. I get the impression that nobody really uses it. With probable
+  reason.
+</p>
+<p>
+  So with a sigh in my heart I've opted to move to
+  <a href="https://bitwarden.com/">Bitwarden</a> for now.
+</p>
+<h4>Bitwarden</h4>
+<p>
+  Bitwarden is free for personal use, but also has some extras with $10 and $40
+  year plans.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Bitwarden's browser extensions are great, Android support is great, and
+  there's a command line app. You can even set up your own Bitwarden repository, 
+  although that's something I don't really need.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Bitwarden doesn't have LastPass's data breach history, and it appears to cater
+  to people like me who just want the job done without a ton of
+  commercialisation effects.
+</p>
+<h4>Migration</h4>
+<p>
+  There are a couple of ways to migrate from Pass to Bitwarden, but I found that
+  Pass can pile up a lot of obsolete and irregular data, so I've installed the Bitwarden and
+  Pass Browser Firefox extensions side by side, so I can build the Bitwarden vault as I go
+  along. 
+</p>
+<h3>Update</h3>
+<p>I've been using Bitwarden for two years now and I'm completely satisfied.</p>
+<p>Bitwarden's unofficial command line application <a href="https://github.com/doy/rbw">RBW</a> 
+has come a long way. It's now easy to include RBW in the mbsync config file .mbsyncrc for 
+example to obtain a stored password with</p>
+<code>Passcmd "rbw get [folder/password]"</code>
+<p>I use the same synchronised vault on Android and two different laptops.</p>
