No.
Tge real answer is not to give control of your passwords to a third party; it's to not use crappy .Net programs.
KeePassXC is not affected.
@sxan @admin There's now an audit of KeePassXC. Worth reading. It's sound.

@sxan @admin @rysiek You can also self-host Vaultwarden. Nice and easy to do via Elast.io: https://elest.io/open-source/vaultwarden
@charlesroper @sxan @admin @rysiek What's the difference between vaultwarden and bitwarden?
See: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden
@admin FAntastic, thanks. I'm self-hosting Bitwarden now, but I'm always interested in streamlining things.
@WillowMist @charlesroper @sxan @admin @rysiek from their github page: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden
Alternative implementation of the Bitwarden server API written in Rust and compatible with upstream Bitwarden clients*, perfect for self-hosted deployment where running the official resource-heavy service might not be ideal.
@smorks @WillowMist @sxan @admin @rysiek Right. It's an alternative to the official Bitwarden open source server (https://github.com/bitwarden/server), which is all .net and sql server and is quite heavy host yourself (apparently). That means most people end up using Bitwarden's own official hosted service. Vaultwarden is a popular and active alternative to Bitwarden Server. It is written in Rust so is a lot lighter on resource requirements. You can easily spin up an instance on Elestio or Cloudron.
@smorks @WillowMist @sxan @admin @rysiek Once you have your own Vaultwarden running, you can use any of the many Bitwarden clients with it:

@smorks @WillowMist @sxan @admin @rysiek Just seen @cloudron are here on the fedi - they also offer a really easy way to host Vaultwarden for yourself, along with loads of other good quality open source products. Worth a look.
