password-store to bitwarden

Migrating from password-store to Bitwarden and RBW

+

+ I've been using Pass (password-store) 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. +

+

+ 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. +

+

+ 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. +

+

+ So with a sigh in my heart I've opted to move to + Bitwarden for now. +

+

Bitwarden

+

+ Bitwarden is free for personal use, but also has some extras with $10 and $40 + year plans. +

+

+ 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. +

+

+ 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. +

+

Migration

+

+ 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. +

+

Update

+

I've been using Bitwarden for two years now and I'm completely satisfied.

+

Bitwarden's unofficial command line application RBW +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

+Passcmd "rbw get [folder/password]" +

I use the same synchronised vault on Android and two different laptops.
