To use them, all I had to do was touch the shortcut icon, scan my fingerprint and the webpage would open with the fields populated, every time. With RF, I could create shortcuts on my phone’s home screen for commonly used logins. I created a new Linux VM on my vSphere server (just for BW) and imported my hundreds of logins from Roboform (RF).Īdjusting to the switch from RF to the BW client on Windows is not too painful but Android is a different story.
After installing BW server numerous times in both Windows and Linux VM’s that I spun up in VMWare Workstation, I finally decided to go for it. Currently in the process of updating Excel csv.Over the past week, I’ve spent most of my time researching, installing and testing self-hosted Bitwarden (BW). I’m running XP3 and Firefox 52.9.0 ESR on 2009 era Toshiba laptops, but currently posting on here using win7 and Firefox 68.9.0 ESR.Įdit: I screwed up and used the wrong email address to access BitWarden online, so I was able to access my vault / data again on their website. If the last device that it works on gets damaged, I’m screwed. So it seems like I am being forcing to update / upgrade my all software and equipment just to continue using their “free” service. Yes all my software is really old and a bit slow, but it does for the most part what I need it to do. This has been a really frustrating experience and has me rethinking BitWarden. Thankfully I have one last device (an android tablet) where BitWarden still works and I can access my data. So I logged in to their website to try accessing my data there. All my login data was gone, my vault was empty. I then connected it to the internet and within minutes it was acting stupid again. So apparently it saves your data locally. I made sure it had no internet connection, opened the older version of Firefox running on XP and was able to access BitWarden and all my saved login data just fine. Just to test my theory about the kill code I reinstalled an old hard drive back back into my laptop. So I was forced to use my google login if I wanted to post here. I couldn’t reply to this post using my new login. So then I set up an account thinking that might help. I had to install a hard drive with windows 7 on it and that allowed the helps and forums to load. Their forum and help pages wouldn’t even load. So I tried searching their website for a solution. I’ve been using it for quite awhile now with ZERO problems and suddenly (within the past few weeks) it became unresponsive when I tried to open it on a couple of my laptops which are running winXP and an older version of Firefox.
Apparently the fine folks at BitWarden now send some kind of kill code to disable BitWarden if your stuff isn’t updated to their liking.
