Re: password keepers

I have been using Bitwarden for several years now. My main move to
Bitwarden was the fact it is all open source, available to be
installed locally on my own servers if I want, and that it was much cheaper
than any other solution. I can give some demos, but to give demos of some
advanced features, I would need to either have a separate paid account or
use my own, but the fact that it contains passwords and keys limits what I
could display. I wanted to have my own install of Bitwarden, but never had
much time for this. However, I would be willing to have an install on one
of my VPS servers in Beauharnois. If there is an interest, I may try to
find time to get something up and running.

FYI: I used Lastpass previously, but they became very expensive, and
numerous incidents were reported about Lastpass, although no passwords were
reportedly leaked. As a comparison, Bitwarden costs $10 a year, and their
price did not change for multiple years so far.
