<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>
