The Psono password manager for teams keeps hackers out and your passwords secure. Psono is free and open source and available for Windows, Linux and Mac.

Does anyone use the self hosted version of psono password manager? The demo looks very nice, however it seems to be very niche and it is rarely recommended. It appears in the “awesome selfhosted” repo, though.

I’m looking for a password manager for a small business, and bitwarden looks quite complex (and expensive) and I’m not very comfortable with vaultwarden.

Vaultwarden is the way to go. What is your issue with it?

I’m not entirely sure if bitwarden will introduce some changes that break the compatibility with vaultwarden.

Isn’t the frontend stuff open source? So even if they change something, others might make a fork?

Most of the code is GPL3, but not everything. Source: license.txt

They probably won’t break compatibility with Vaultwarden on purpose since that’d also break their own server implementation. Bitwarden would have to ensure that all selfhosted servers are up to date before pushing a breaking auto update. This likely means enough time for vaultwarden to catch up.

Few things hurt a company providing critical software more than breaking users access without notice.

The passwords would still be accessible through the webui anyway.

Edit: If your not comfortable it’s better to not use it. Password manager are critical and have to be trusted.

You’re right, changes that break compatibility are unlikely. But they can happen and happened in the past (e.g. #3082)

Thanks for the example! I had hoped Bitwarden wouldn’t break older servers so quickly. Luckily it seems like vaultwarden released a new working version 7 days before, the clients broke older servers. I’ll definitly check my new release notifications for vaultwarden right now.
