just a side note for everyone out there that uses bitwarden: you can reset your password with just your email. that means the admin can see your passwords. The only 3 upstream password managers that don’t have that “feature” are 1Password, lastpass and keypass (not counting gpg-based script in bash n friends). Lastpass is obviously a mediocre solution (too many breaches), keypass isn’t for everyone (UX). 1Password is a very solid solution and it has public security audits
I’ve got nothing with agilebits/1Password - i just use it after spending days researching (also I’m a former IT security engineer)
Bitwarden can’t find or change your password, and their admins absolutely can’t see them either.
You’re talking about the “admin password reset” feature offered to organizations (and which doesn’t concern lambdas users at all), which must be explicitly activated and which allows admins not to see our password, but to trigger a password reset with notification to the user.
Once the password has been reset, all you have to do is change it, and nobody else has access to it.
If that were true that it wouldn’t be just a side note because it would render the whole Bitwarden product useless. It’d pretty much mean that they are not encrypting passwords at all, so even worse than infamous LastPass. But as the other comment pointed out, it’s pretty much not like that.
Been using Bitwarden since it was on horrendous light blue theme, and I’m fully aware that users cannot easily reset their master password through email ever since.
Bananas have seeds, they’re just incredibly degenerated in commercial bananas. Next time you have one, break off a chunk and count the black specks inside. Each one would’ve been a seed if not for generations of human intervention.
